I have the following html code:

With DocRaptor, it's fast and painless to convert HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents with Java. Below are working Java examples for creating documents. Our API reference lists all the generation options and our style and formatting guide will help make it look perfect.

All I want to do is to print to pdf whatever is found in the div with an id of 'pdf'. This must be done using JavaScript. The 'pdf' document should then be automatically downloaded with a filename of 'foobar.pdf'

I've been using jspdf to do this, but the only function it has is 'text' which accepts only string values. I want to submit HTML to jspdf, not text.

jsPDF is able to use plugins. In order to enable it to print HTML, you have to include certain plugins and therefore have to do the following:

1. Go to https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF and download the latest Version.
2. Include the following Scripts in your project:
   • jspdf.js
   • jspdf.plugin.from_html.js
   • jspdf.plugin.split_text_to_size.js
   • jspdf.plugin.standard_fonts_metrics.js

If you want to ignore certain elements, you have to mark them with an ID, which you can then ignore in a special element handler of jsPDF. Therefore your HTML should look like this:

Then you use the following JavaScript code to open the created PDF in a PopUp:

For me this created a nice and tidy PDF that only included the line 'print this to pdf'.

Please note that the special element handlers only deal with IDs in the current version, which is also stated in a GitHub Issue. It states:

Because the matching is done against every element in the node tree, my desire was to make it as fast as possible. In that case, it meant 'Only element IDs are matched' The element IDs are still done in jQuery style '#id', but it does not mean that all jQuery selectors are supported.

Therefore replacing '#ignorePDF' with class selectors like '.ignorePDF' did not work for me. Instead you will have to add the same handler for each and every element, which you want to ignore like:

From the examples it is also stated that it is possible to select tags like 'a' or 'li'. That might be a little bit to unrestrictive for the most usecases though:

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.

One very important thing to add is that you lose all your style information (CSS). Luckily jsPDF is able to nicely format h1, h2, h3 etc., which was enough for my purposes. Additionalyl it will only print text within text nodes, which means that it will not print the values of textareas and the like. Example:

This is the simple solution. This works for me.You can use the javascript print concept and simple save this as pdf.

You can use autoPrint() and set output to 'dataurlnewwindow' like this:

As mentioned, you should use jsPDF and html2canvas. I've also found a function inside issues of jsPDF which splits automatically your pdf into multiple pages (sources)

If you want to export a table, you can take a look at this export sample provided by the Shield UI Grid widget.

It is done by extending the configuration like this:

One way is to use window.print() function. Which does not require any library

Pros

1.No external library require.

2.We can print only selected parts of body also.

3.No css conflicts and js issues.

4.Core html/js functionality

---Simply add below code

CSS to

JS code - Call bewlow function on btn click

Note: Use !important in every css object

Example -

i use jspdf and html2canvas for css rendering and i export content of specific div as this is my code

I was able to get jsPDF to print dynamically created tables from a div.

Works great with Chrome and Firefox.. formatting is all blown up in IE.

I also included these:

• No depenencies, pure JS

This served me for years now:

To capture div as PDF you can use https://grabz.it solution. It's got a JavaScript API which is easy and flexible and will allow you to capture the contents of a single HTML element such as a div or a span

In order to implement it you will need to first get an app key and secret and download the (free) SDK.

And now an example.

Let's say you have the HTML:

To capture what is under the features id you will need to:

Please note the target: #feature. #feature is you CSS selector, like in the previous example. Now, when the page is loaded an image screenshot will now be created in the same location as the script tag, which will contain all of the contents of the features div and nothing else.

The are other configuration and customization you can do to the div-screenshot mechanism, please check them out here

Use pdfMake.js and this Gist.

(I found the Gist here along with a link to the package html-to-pdfmake, which I end up not using for now.)

After npm install pdfmake and saving the Gist in htmlToPdf.js I use it like this:

Remarks:

• My use case is to create the relevant html from a markdown document (with markdown-it) and subsequently generating the pdf, and uploading its binary content (which I can get with pdfMake's getBuffer() function), all from the browser. The generated pdf turns out to be nicer for this kind of html than with other solutions I have tried.
• I am dissatisfied with the results I got from jsPDF.fromHTML() suggested in the accepted answer, as that solution gets easily confused by special characters in my HTML that apparently are interpreted as a sort of markup and totally mess up the resulting PDF.
• Using canvas based solutions (like the deprecated jsPDF.from_html() function, not to be confused with the one from the accepted answer) is not an option for me since I want the text in the generated PDF to be pasteable, whereas canvas based solutions generate bitmap based PDFs.
• Direct markdown to pdf converters like md-to-pdf are server side only and would not work for me.
• Using the printing functionality of the browser would not work for me as I do not want to display the generated PDF but upload its binary content.

I've been searching high and low for an up to date solution to this age old problem.

Long story short I want to take css + html -> pdf and do it in java.

Java Html To Pdf Converter Free

I don't want to use an API as the data is sensitive. Googling provides me with countless sites/services that offer to do this but I'm looking for a stand alone tool and looking for one that will work nicely from my java server. I've found this awesome looking command line tool but it's a command line tool and spawning processes off a web server starts to get sketchy IMO (but I'm always willing to hear otherwise). Additionally flying saucer seems to be a standard choice, but I've heard mixed reviews.

Here is a 5 year old question on the subject, but I figure things have changed! Especially with all the work being done in the area of front end unit testing with dom manipulation I figure there might be some less than conventional solutions and I'm willing to hear them all!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might try a combination CSSBox that converts HTML+CSS to SVG and then use for example Batik for creating your PDF as proposed for example here. FlyingSaucer could also do the job.

The choice depends on your further requirements. E.g. are you processing 'street HTML' or well-formed documents? What about the pages in the resulting PDF? What about interactive elements in the HTML pages?

I mean the only way is to try at least some options practically and then you may ask more specific questions about some particular problems.
