Export HTML table to pdf using jspdf
I need to export the HTML table to pdf file using jspdf. I tried the below code but it displays the blank/empty output in pdf file. Any suggestions or sample code for this would be helpful. `
<script type="text/javascript">
function demo1() {
$(function () {
var specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function (element,renderer) {
return true;
}
};
$('#cmd').click(function () {
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.fromHTML($('#htmlTableId').html(), 15, 15, {
'width': 170,'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
});
doc.save('sample-file.pdf');
});
});
}
</script>
`
Here is working example:
in head
<script type="text/javascript" src="jspdf.debug.js"></script>
script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function demoFromHTML() {
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'letter');
// source can be HTML-formatted string, or a reference
// to an actual DOM element from which the text will be scraped.
source = $('#customers')[0];
// we support special element handlers. Register them with jQuery-style
// ID selector for either ID or node name. ("#iAmID", "div", "span" etc.)
// There is no support for any other type of selectors
// (class, of compound) at this time.
specialElementHandlers = {
// element with id of "bypass" - jQuery style selector
'#bypassme': function(element, renderer) {
// true = "handled elsewhere, bypass text extraction"
return true
}
};
margins = {
top: 80,
bottom: 60,
left: 40,
width: 522
};
// all coords and widths are in jsPDF instance's declared units
// 'inches' in this case
pdf.fromHTML(
source, // HTML string or DOM elem ref.
margins.left, // x coord
margins.top, {// y coord
'width': margins.width, // max width of content on PDF
'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
},
function(dispose) {
// dispose: object with X, Y of the last line add to the PDF
// this allow the insertion of new lines after html
pdf.save('Test.pdf');
}
, margins);
}
</script>
and table:
<div id="customers">
<table id="tab_customers" class="table table-striped" >
<colgroup>
<col width="20%">
<col width="20%">
<col width="20%">
<col width="20%">
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class='warning'>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Population</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Chinna</td>
<td>1,363,480,000</td>
<td>March 24, 2014</td>
<td>19.1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>India</td>
<td>1,241,900,000</td>
<td>March 24, 2014</td>
<td>17.4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>United States</td>
<td>317,746,000</td>
<td>March 24, 2014</td>
<td>4.44</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Indonesia</td>
<td>249,866,000</td>
<td>July 1, 2013</td>
<td>3.49</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Brazil</td>
<td>201,032,714</td>
<td>July 1, 2013</td>
<td>2.81</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
and button to run:
<button onclick="javascript:demoFromHTML()">PDF</button>
and working example online:
tabel to pdf jspdf
or try this: HTML Table Export
You can also use the jsPDF-AutoTable plugin. You can check out a demo here that uses the following code.
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.autoTable("#basic-table");
doc.save("table.pdf");
Use get(0)
instead of html()
. In other words, replace
doc.fromHTML($('#htmlTableId').html(), 15, 15, {
'width': 170,'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
});
with
doc.fromHTML($('#htmlTableId').get(0), 15, 15, {
'width': 170,'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
});
We can separate out section of which we need to convert in PDF
For example, if table is in class "pdf-table-wrap"
After this, we need to call html2canvas function combined with jsPDF
following is sample code
var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', [580, 630]);
html2canvas($(".pdf-table-wrap")[0], {
onrendered: function(canvas) {
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL("image/png", 1.0);
var width = canvas.width;
var height = canvas.clientHeight;
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'PNG', 20, 20, (width - 10), (height));
}
});
setTimeout(function() {
//jsPDF code to save file
pdf.save('sample.pdf');
}, 0);
