jsPDF VS PDFKit

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.

🔀 Repositório no GitHub

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.

PDFkit is one of the oldest and most well-established PDF libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem; it is still well-maintained, and regularly updated. This library is a popular option for creating and manipulating PDF documents in a server-side environment, typically using Node.js. It allows you to programmatically generate PDF files by defining each page's content, layout, and formatting.

pdfkit is a JavaScript PDF lib that allows web developers to create PDF documents programmatically. It provides a simple and intuitive API for generating basic PDFs.

Build a PDF generator using Kintone's REST API and a PDF library like PDFKit or PDFMake

https://pdfkit.org/ is pretty powerful, surprised to see no one has mentioned this so far.

If this is a concern for you, I suggest you look at projects like pdfkit, they allow you to compose the content of the pdf directly, without using another format (html) has an intermediate layer.

I use pdfkit at work

Then write a script to export the drag drop. Maybe use a browser function to save the page as a PDF. Or a NPM library using something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfkit

Maybe pdfkit
