I'm looking for a library to transform my web page into a PDF file after click event from a button. I'm trying jspdf, but it prints without the CSS, how can I make this using JavaScript/jQuery and keep my CSS? Or another CSS that I can choose?

Jan 24, 2006  If your application needs to generate PDF documents dynamically, you need the iText library. The open source iText library makes PDF creation a snap. This article introduces iText and gives a step-by-step guide to using it to generate PDF documents from Java technology applications. We create a sample application to better understand iText.

There is a new jQuery + cloud solution that will render any HTML page and its CSS (including print media rules) to PDF. The solution is setup to print any region of your webpage, you just tell the Formatter which container element you want to print and the library does the rest. What you get back is an embeddable PDF or the backend will push back a PDF for download.

Here's your library (GitHub):
https://github.com/Xportability/css-to-pdf

Here's your fiddle:

Here's a working demo:
http://xep.cloudformatter.com/doc/

Currently there are not useage instructions, but following along with the samples (view source) should be pretty self-explanatory (look for the Print It buttons) and here is, more or less the additional options/parameters that the Format method understands.

Here is list of CSS attributes that are currently supported.

Hope this helps!

I have created a simple & very easy to use API that uses the snappy library, based on the wkhtmltopdf webkit-based CLI, in order to convert an HTML page from the URL to PDF. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/Dellos7/dhtml2pdf

This is an example of how to use it from an anchor tag. This will show the generated PDF of the https://www.github.com site in a new browser tab:

Example of how to use it to download the PDF:

With this solution you don't even need to use javascript in order to generate your PDF.

But if you still need to do it using javascript, you can do it like this:

In the repo I also explain how to very easily clone & deploy your own API in Heroku so you can mantain the API yourself and not to depend on external services.

So you want to generate PDFs from HTML with Java?

Here is the procedure I am using with flying-saucer.

  1. Format your HTML with CSS 2.1
  2. Write the process to generate a PDF
  3. Create the PDF generator interface
  4. Use a custom object to wrap images with attributes for further formatting
  5. Implements your interface with your PDF parameters and images

1. Format your HTML with CSS 2.1

Example can be a JSP with ELs, any other template (you will be able to get the generated HTML with parameters with an internal POST request), or just static HTML.

You cannot use proportionnal values like em, rem, vh, vw or complex CSS like animations.

You can use <style> </style> tag or inline style= attribute

Here is an example of a JSP in my webapp.

2. Write the process to generate a PDF with an interface

Why using an interface? Because in the case you need to generate additional PDFs from different models you will not have to write the same logic to generate each PDFs.

3. Create the PDF generator interface

4. The ImagePDF object (in case you need to add image to your PDF)

5. Implements your interface for your PDF parameters

(used in example above)

Tell me if it needs some clarification.
