pdfmake VS jsPDF

PDFmake or pdf-lib would be the way to go in my opinion.

Pdfmake (http://pdfmake.org)

Perhaps consider taking your serialized data directly to pdfmake and cut out the middle transformation. The playground (examples on the top tool bar row) are extremely fast and tight.

I have some data, and I'd like to make a PDF file for that data. How can I make a PDF file as a quick way in React. In this post, I will try to do it fast as possible in React using PdfMake library.

What you will be using to generate the pdf invoices ?, i use PdfMake, and i generate it all on front with Vue2.

So how do we do this? First, the configuration information data gets sent from Salesforce to the Heroku microservice. Heroku is using Node.js and a few libraries/modules to achieve this—specifically, Fastify, PDFmake, and JSforce. One of the beauties of Heroku is the ability to combine all of these libraries to build powerful applications for a variety of use cases. Now some descriptions of each library:

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.
