JSPDF - addHTML() Multiple Canvas Page
None of the above helped me so I'll put this here for anyone who arrives at this page looking to use addHTML() to create a single pdf split into multiple pages with a different html element on each page. I used recursion so I'm not sure of the performance implications of this approach. It worked for me to create a 4 page pdf from 4 div elements.
var pdf = new jsPDF('landscape');
var pdfName = 'test.pdf';
var options = {};
var $divs = $('.myDivClass') //jQuery object of all the myDivClass divs
var numRecursionsNeeded = $divs.length -1; //the number of times we need to call addHtml (once per div)
var currentRecursion=0;
//Found a trick for using addHtml more than once per pdf. Call addHtml in the callback function of addHtml recursively.
function recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, totalRecursions){
//Once we have done all the divs save the pdf
if(currentRecursion==totalRecursions){
pdf.save(pdfName);
}else{
currentRecursion++;
pdf.addPage();
//$('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion] selects one of the divs out of the jquery collection as a html element
//addHtml requires an html element. Not a string like fromHtml.
pdf.addHTML($('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion], 15, 20, options, function(){
console.log(currentRecursion);
recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, totalRecursions)
});
}
}
pdf.addHTML($('.myDivClass')[currentRecursion], 15, 20, options, function(){
recursiveAddHtmlAndSave(currentRecursion, numRecursionsNeeded);
});
}
With using pagesplit: true
it always stretches the pdf output.
Try to use an old version of jsPDF with html2canvas of course.
Sharing the result of my 2 days trial to achieve the multipage PDF generation with addHTML
not fromHTML
since it looses the CSS rules.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/0.4.1/html2canvas.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.0.272/jspdf.debug.js"></script>
then the PDF should be just fine as follows:
<script>
$(window).on('load', function(){
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
var pdfName = 'sample.pdf';
var options = {
format: 'JPEG',
// pagesplit: true,
"background": '#000',
};
var fullPage = $('#Printout_21571')[0],
firstPartPage = $('#part-1')[0],
secondPartPage = $('#part-2')[0];
pdf.addHTML(firstPartPage, 15, 20, options, function(){ pdf.addPage() });
pdf.addHTML(secondPartPage, 15, 20, options, function(){});
setTimeout(function() {
// pdf.save(pdfName);
var blob = pdf.output("blob");
window.open(URL.createObjectURL(blob));
}, 600);
})
</script>
Hope this would help. Thanks!
Splitting canvas into multiple pages work by providing a "pagesplit" option:
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
var options = {
pagesplit: true
};
pdf.addHTML($(".pdf-wrapper"), options, function()
{
pdf.save("test.pdf");
});
pdf.addHtml doesnot work if there are svg images on the web page.. 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');
