This is a one to one fork of jspdf-html2canvas, but this uses html2canvas-pro instead of the unmaintained html2canvas to add support for new tailwind versions + many more...

jspdf-html2canvas-pro

A combine usage with jsPDF & html2canvas, which translating html content to PDF file. Written in Typescript.

html2PDF function will auto fit the target dom width into PDF size. So no need to worry about the overflow part. And if the content height is over 1 pdf, it'll auto seperate it into another pdf page.

Install

npm i jspdf-html2canvas-pro

1import html2PDF from 'jspdf-html2canvas-pro';
2
3html2PDF(node, options);

since this plugin is an umd module, you can also use by cdn with /dist/jspdf-html2canvas-pro.min.js, just remember to include both jspdf & html2canvas cdn before this plugin.

1<script src="https://unpkg.com/jspdf@latest/dist/jspdf.umd.min.js"></script>
2<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/html2canvas@1.4.1/dist/html2canvas.min.js"></script>
3<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jspdf-html2canvas-pro@latest/dist/jspdf-html2canvas-pro.min.js"></script>

html2PDF([Node, NodeList], options)

convert specific DOM target to print it into PDF file.

Automatically, it'll save the file, or you can define the success callback to do with the jsPDF instance.

1<!-- default a4's width is 595.28px -->
2<div id="page" style="width: 595.28px;color: black;background: white;">
3  <h3>PDF for Test</h3>
4  <p>Here is some content for testing!!</p>
5</div>
6
7<button id="btn">Generate</button>

1let btn = document.getElementById('btn');
2let page = document.getElementById('page');
3
4btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
5  html2PDF(page, {
6    jsPDF: {
7      format: 'a4',
8    },
9    imageType: 'image/jpeg',
10    output: './pdf/generate.pdf'
11  });
12});

you can easily await the method to wait for pdf generated.

1async function printPdf() {
2  const pdf = await html2PDF(page, {
3    // ...
4  });
5  // do something with pdf(jsPdf instance)
6}

If there's some white space on top of the outputed PDF file, it might caused by the scroll problem, just add some settings for html2canvas plugin as following. see the reference

1html2PDF(page, {
2  // ... other settings
3  html2canvas: {
4    scrollX: 0,
5    scrollY: -window.scrollY,
6  },
7});

Custom multiple page supported

There might be some situation you want to print DOM seperately, just easily give the nodeList with length in it, will adjust every nodes inside seperately into a new page in the same PDF output.

for example:

1<div id="page" style="width: 595.28px;color: black;background: white;">
2  <div class="page page-1">
3    <h3>Test page 1</h3>
4    <p>This is an page for testing 1</p>
5  </div>
6  <div class="page page-2">
7    <h3>Test page 2</h3>
8    <p>This is an page for testing 1</p>
9  </div>
10  <div class="page page-3">
11    <h3>Test page 3</h3>
12    <p>This is an page for testing 1</p>
13  </div>
14</div>

1const pages = document.getElementsByClassName('page');
2
3btn.addEventListener('click', function(){
4  html2PDF(pages, {
5    jsPDF: {
6      format: 'a4',
7    },
8    imageType: 'image/jpeg',
9    output: './pdf/generate.pdf'
10  });
11});
