jsPDF: html2canvas not loaded while using new .html() method

Question

I want to use jsPDF.html to convert html page to pdf, and I\'m using this code:

savePdf () {
  var pdf = new jsPDF({u         


        

Answer 1

The following two had fixed the issue:

1. // webpack configuration plugins: [ new webpack.ProvidePlugin({ html2canvas: 'html2canvas' }); ]

2. window["html2canvas"] = html2canvas;

even with out the first step its working.

Answer 2

jsPDF needs html2canvas to be declared in the global scope to work, so you have to write

window.html2canvas = html2canvas;

somewhere before you call html().

That said, I wasn't able to make it work either, so I resorted to a wrapper that works around the issue by calling manually html2canvas() then giving the resulting canvas to jsPDF.

Answer 3

Following the previous anser by ptidus, this should work:

saveAsPdf() {
  window.html2canvas = html2canvas;
  var doc = new jsPDF(
    'p', 'pt', 'a4'
  );
  doc.html(document.querySelector("body"), {
    callback: function(pdf) {
      pdf.save("cv-a4.pdf");
    }
  });
}

There is something off with the margins probably, but I didn't explore that too much. You will also notice that the generated PDF is actually text and not an image.

Answer 4

For all of you who are using webpack what I did is I added html2canvas to a ProvidePlugin. You can read about this here

// webpack configuration
plugins: [
    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        html2canvas: 'html2canvas'
    });
]
