jsPDF multi page PDF with HTML renderer
I have the same working issue. Searching in MrRio github I found this: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/101
Basically, you have to check the actual page size always before adding new content
doc = new jsPdf();
...
pageHeight= doc.internal.pageSize.height;
// Before adding new content
y = 500 // Height position of new content
if (y >= pageHeight)
{
doc.addPage();
y = 0 // Restart height position
}
doc.text(x, y, "value");
here's an example using html2canvas & jspdf, although how you generate the canvas doesn't matter--we're just going to use the height of that as the breakpoint on a for loop
, in which a new page is created and content added to it.
after the for loop, the pdf is saved.
function makePDF() {
var quotes = document.getElementById('container-fluid');
html2canvas(quotes).then((canvas) => {
//! MAKE YOUR PDF
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
for (var i = 0; i <= quotes.clientHeight/980; i++) {
//! This is all just html2canvas stuff
var srcImg = canvas;
var sX = 0;
var sY = 980*i; // start 980 pixels down for every new page
var sWidth = 900;
var sHeight = 980;
var dX = 0;
var dY = 0;
var dWidth = 900;
var dHeight = 980;
window.onePageCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
onePageCanvas.setAttribute('width', 900);
onePageCanvas.setAttribute('height', 980);
var ctx = onePageCanvas.getContext('2d');
// details on this usage of this function:
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Using_images#Slicing
ctx.drawImage(srcImg,sX,sY,sWidth,sHeight,dX,dY,dWidth,dHeight);
// document.body.appendChild(canvas);
var canvasDataURL = onePageCanvas.toDataURL("image/png", 1.0);
var width = onePageCanvas.width;
var height = onePageCanvas.clientHeight;
//! If we're on anything other than the first page,
// add another page
if (i > 0) {
pdf.addPage(612, 791); //8.5" x 11" in pts (in*72)
}
//! now we declare that we're working on that page
pdf.setPage(i+1);
//! now we add content to that page!
pdf.addImage(canvasDataURL, 'PNG', 20, 40, (width*.62), (height*.62));
}
//! after the for loop is finished running, we save the pdf.
pdf.save('Test.pdf');
});
}
I found the solution on this page: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/434 From the user: wangzhixuan
I copy the solution here: // suppose your picture is already in a canvas
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
/*
Here are the numbers (paper width and height) that I found to work.
It still creates a little overlap part between the pages, but good enough for me.
if you can find an official number from jsPDF, use them.
*/
var imgWidth = 210;
var pageHeight = 295;
var imgHeight = canvas.height * imgWidth / canvas.width;
var heightLeft = imgHeight;
var doc = new jsPDF('p', 'mm');
var position = 0;
doc.addImage(imgData, 'PNG', 0, position, imgWidth, imgHeight);
heightLeft -= pageHeight;
while (heightLeft >= 0) {
position = heightLeft - imgHeight;
doc.addPage();
doc.addImage(imgData, 'PNG', 0, position, imgWidth, imgHeight);
heightLeft -= pageHeight;
}
doc.save( 'file.pdf');
