In other browsers this page display correctly.
Such sad news.
You're generating a PDF from its raw data using Javascript. Why not use a reader like Adobe to render it? That is what is happening when you are clicking the link from the console. You could literally just open the link and it will open as a PDF. I think you are possibly over complicating this task.
Try window.open()
instead. The following code worked for me. You will need to modify the window/page size.
let dataSrc = pdf.output("datauristring");
let win = window.open("", "myWindow");
win.document.write("<html><head><title>jsPDF</title></head><body><embed src=" +
dataSrc + "></embed></body></html>");
Update:
Didn't realize that jsPDF comes with a built-in method pdf.output('dataurlnewwindow');, which uses iframe,
The downside of
pdf.output('dataurlnewwindow')
is that it opens a new tab/window withdatauristring
as the pdf file name and the download button doesn't work, while window.open(pdf.output('bloburl')) seems fine with the download button.Okay, pdf file can be renamed like this:
pdf.setProperties({
title: "jsPDF sample"
});
Update 2:
To avoid the page being cut off when a page is zoomed, you can set the html2canvas scale accordingly.
It's actually very easy, don't complicate things..
window.open(URL.createObjectURL(doc.output("blob")))
or a more verbose and less efficient version:
let newWindow = window.open('/');
fetch(doc.output('datauristring')).then(res => res.blob()).then(blob => {
newWindow.location = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
})
(You need to open the new window immediately after the onclick or Chrome will block the popup. This solution is not as good because there is an unnecessary conversion from datauri to blob)
This code works for me
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.setProperties({
title: "new Report"
});
doc.output('dataurlnewwindow');
