I am trying to create a PDF from my HTML using pdfMake and Angular (I've also tried jsPDF and couldn't get it to work either). I tried using the following code in my Angular controller:
var blob = new Blob([document.getElementById('exportable').innerHTML])
var docDefinition = {
content: [blob]
}
pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).open();
but I receive the following error:
Unrecognized document structure: {"_margin":null}".
My HTML consists of two simple tables in a div exportable.
If anyone knows a solution to this issue, or another way to get the HTML into a PDF from Angular, PLEASE help.
Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated!
This question is related to
javascript
angularjs
pdf
pdfmake
I know its not relevant to this post but might help others converting HTML to PDF on client side. This is a simple solution if you use kendo. It also preserves the css (most of the cases).
var generatePDF = function() {_x000D_
kendo.drawing.drawDOM($("#formConfirmation")).then(function(group) {_x000D_
kendo.drawing.pdf.saveAs(group, "Converted PDF.pdf");_x000D_
});_x000D_

</html>was implemented that in service-now platform. No need to use other library - makepdf have all you need!
that my html part (include preloder gif):
<div class="pdf-preview" ng-init="generatePDF(true)">
<object data="{{c.content}}" type="application/pdf" style="width:58vh;height:88vh;" ng-if="c.content" ></object>
<div ng-if="!c.content">
<img src="https://support.lenovo.com/esv4/images/loading.gif" width="50" height="50">
</div>
</div>
this is client script (js part)
$scope.generatePDF = function (preview) {
docDefinition = {} //you rootine to generate pdf content
//...
if (preview) {
pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).getDataUrl(function(dataURL) {
c.content = dataURL;
});
}
}
So on page load I fire init function that generate pdf content and if required preview (set as true) result will be assigned to c.content variable. On html side object will be not shown until c.content will got a value, so that will show loading gif.
this is what it worked for me I'm using html2pdf from an Angular2 app, so I made a reference to this function in the controller
var html2pdf = (function(html2canvas, jsPDF) {
declared in html2pdf.js.
So I added just after the import declarations in my angular-controller this declaration:
declare function html2pdf(html2canvas, jsPDF): any;
then, from a method of my angular controller I'm calling this function:
generate_pdf(){
this.someService.loadContent().subscribe(
pdfContent => {
html2pdf(pdfContent, {
margin: 1,
filename: 'myfile.pdf',
image: { type: 'jpeg', quality: 0.98 },
html2canvas: { dpi: 192, letterRendering: true },
jsPDF: { unit: 'in', format: 'A4', orientation: 'portrait' }
});
}
);
}
Hope it helps
