jsPDF VS HexaPDF

jsPDF is a popular JavaScript PDF generator that allows users to generate PDF files in the web browser dynamically. The library is well-maintained, stable, easy to use, and has rich documentation.

I haven't had to generate PDF files from the browser, but jsPDF looks promising.

So, as advised on the github page https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF i tried to source the new version of jsPDF using either the first or second src that you see in comment in the code below.

was working fine. But it seems this version does not have the function to do dashed lines, so i wanted a newer version. I tried downloading the folder of the newest one, or tu put : as mentionned in this page : https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF, but now i got a bug when i try to create the pdf and the code stops at the instruction var doc = new jsPDF(); I hope have i been clear, sorry i'm kind of trying out things...

You can use the .NET built-in datagrid, write your own .csv export (it's about 15 lines of code), and use jsPDF to convert the datagrid content to pdf using JavaScript.

Didn't try but there is https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js to read and https://github.com/parallax/jsPDF to write back so I imagine it could all be done in the browser, no app required. I'm not sure if there is already a project that combine both and use the canvas as a sketching support but have a look and if there isn't one I might prototype as it could be interesting for the PineNote.

An example for a very simple setup is the cmdparse gem documentation. It only has a few additional documentation files that accompany the main API documentation. The other end of the spectrum is the documentation for HexaPDF which encompasses many additional documentation files besides the API documentation and deeply integrates the API docs into the whole documentation website.

HexaPDF is a Ruby OSS library with a commercial version available and profitable.

So I'm collecting feature ideas for that table implementation at https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/discussions/231.

Hi there! I'm the author of HexaPDF.

git clone https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf.git

You can use this HexaPDF script to do this:

I have just released my new gem hexapdf-extras which provides additional functionality on top of the HexaPDF library.

You can use HexaPDF together with a small script to do this (see the third line on how to use the script):

TrueType subsetting mainly consists of generating the necessary glyph and various index tables, and copying over all the other necessary tables which don't need to be adjusted. See https://github.com/gettalong/hexapdf/blob/master/lib/hexapdf/font/true_type/subsetter.rb for what is needed to subset.
