While working on a project, I successfully converted an HTML file into a PDF. However, the output did not display the CSS design. Can anyone provide suggestions on how to include CSS design in the PDF file?
Below is the JavaScript function code:
$(function(){
var doc = new jsPDF();
var specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function (element, renderer) {
return true;
}
};
$('#cmd').click(function () {
doc.fromHTML($('#StudentInfoListTable').html(), 15, 15, {
'width': 170,
'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
});
doc.save('sample-file.pdf');
});
I utilized resources from this repository: https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF
Description of my table layout:
The resulting PDF output:
Attempts were made to add a table
$('#cmd').click(function () {
var table = tableToJson($('#StudentInfoListTable').get(0))
var doc = new jsPDF('p', pt, 'a1', true);
doc.cellInitialize();
$.each(table, function (i, row){
console.debug(row);
$.each(row, function (j, cell){
doc.cell(10, 50,120, 50, cell, i);
})
})
doc.save('sample-file.pdf');
});
Function used for conversion:
function tableToJson(table) {
var data = [];
// Extract headers from the first row
var headers = [];
for (var i=0; i<table.rows[0].cells.length; i++) {
headers[i] = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML.toLowerCase().replace(/ /gi,'');
}
// Process cells in each row
for (var i=0; i<table.rows.length; i++) {
var tableRow = table.rows[i];
var rowData = {};
for (var j=0; j<tableRow.cells.length; j++) {
rowData[ headers[j] ] = tableRow.cells[j].innerHTML;
}
data.push(rowData);
}
return data;
}
This challenge has been quite frustrating!
Is there a way to prevent overlapping issues? How can we effectively incorporate CSS into the PDF document?
