I am trying to convert my html page to pdf using jsPDF. Essentially i am using the html method of jsPDF, giving it a source, and options and then in the callback function i would save the document. But i am having a problem when it comes to dividing the single html document into mulitple divs and saving each div in a page. I am trying the below code and it renders all the pages blank.
My html looks like
<div class = "resultpage" >
<div class = "print-section-1">
//some content
</div>
<div class = "print-section-2">
//some content again
</div>
<div class = "print-section-3">
//content...
</div>
</div>
My js looks like :
window.jsPDF = window.jspdf.jsPDF;
let doc = new jsPDF({
orientation : "portrait",
unit : 'px',
format : 'a4',
hotfixes : ["px_scaling"],
putOnlyUsedFonts : true
})
doc.html($(".prints-section-1")[0], {
x: 10,
y : 10,
margin : [50, 200, 50, 200],
autoPaging : "text"
})
doc.addPage()
doc.html($(".print-section-2")[0], {
x: 10,
y : 10,
margin : [50, 200, 50, 200],
autoPaging : "text"
})
doc.addPage()
doc.html($(".print-section-3")[0], {
x: 10,
y : 10,
margin : [50, 200, 50, 200],
autoPaging : "text"
})
doc.save("test")
This renders all the pages empty.
If i modify the js, to have a chaining of callbacks like below, i am able to get the last div (print-side-2 in this case) printed but the pages previous to it are blank.
doc.html($(".print-section-1")[0], {
callback : function(doc) {
doc.addPage();
doc.html($(".print-section-2")[0], {
callback : function(doc) {
doc.save("test.pdf")
}
x: 10,
y : 10,
margin : [50, 200, 50, 200],
autoPaging : "text"
})
}
x: 10,
y : 10,
margin : [50, 200, 50, 200],
autoPaging : "text"
})
Can anyone point out what i am doing wrong ? I searched for solutions but many use deprecated methods like addFromHTtml, and some suggested using line breaks like "<!--ADD_PAGE>" _ and style = "page-break-before : always" but both don't work. I looked into the documentation and it hasn't been great support. Please help me.

Just use await
and make sure to return doc
inside the callback
something like this
var doc = new jspdf.jsPDF({
orientation: 'p',
unit: 'pt',
format: 'letter'
});
var field = "<b>html test </b>";
doc.text(10, 10, "test");
//add first html
await doc.html(field, {
callback: function (doc) {
return doc;
},
width: 210,
windowWidth: 210,
html2canvas: {
backgroundColor: 'lightyellow',
width: 210,
height: 150
},
backgroundColor: 'lightblue',
x: 10,
y: 50,
autoPaging: 'text'
});
window.open(doc.output('bloburl'));
now you can call doc.html as many times as you want for that same document
