meteor-pdfkit's Issues

Error not found on doc.image with static images

Was an issue on server-client access from my end, closing.

Question: get a return of writeSync()

Hi there!
Thanks for the nice package - works like a charm! :-)
Since you provide a sync function which write the file (writeSync) I wonder - why is there no return value of this function?
How can I know if creating and writing the pdf file was successful so I can move on in my code (in my case: send the pdf via e-mail)?

var write = doc.writeSync(process.env.PWD + '/public/pdf/' + orderid + '_order.pdf');
console.log('writefile return: ' + write);

Writing the file works just fine but write is always undefined.

Question: Create a pdf from a pdf template

I'm looking to generate a pdf from an existing pdf "template". For example, the pdf "template" would have the layout and text -- all that would be left to do is fill in "fields" with data.

I would like to populate these fields with the appropriate data from a mongo collection, and generate a new pdf from it. Is this possible with this package?

I reviewed http://pdfkit.org/ but found no examples of this approach.

Question: How to use?

Hey!

Thank you for providing this package. However, I can't really figure out how to use it. I'd like the pdf to be saved to the public/pdf/ folder. Could you provide a more in-depth explanation on how to do this?

Thanks,
Jan

upgrade to PDFkit version 0.7.1

Hi, it would be nice to upgrade this meteor wrapper package to last PDFkit version.

Current version doesn't support 'Switching to previous pages' feature. That's mean bufferPages: true in constructor, doc.switchToPage(pageNumber) method etc.

Btw. I've tried that localy, but there is some error with finalize method here: https://github.com/pascoual/meteor-pdfkit/blob/master/pdfkitWrapper.js#L9.

Question: How to use with angular-meteor / angular-ui-router

Hello,
I'm trying to implement something similar to the iron-router example, where a user could click a button and a PDF file would be generated and served to the client for download (not stored on the server). Any thoughts on how I might go about this using urigo:angular-ui-router instead of iron?
Thanks

Why does it not work in production (Meteor-up)?

I write to file using:

doc.write(process.env.PWD + '/public/pdf/mypdf.pdf');

but it seems it tries to put my file in /opt/<appname>/public/pdf/, which doesn't exist. So I tried this instead (forcing it into the public folder):

doc.write(process.env.PWD + '/app/programs/client/app/pdf/mypdf.pdf');

This did neither work, the files gets written, but when I go to <my_server_path:port>/pdf/mypdf.pdf it does not show up. Do I have to manually set permissions or something?

Meteor server restarts when call of writeSync()

In Meteor.methods on the server, I have the following method:

createPdf: function() {
    var doc = new PDFDocument({size: 'A4', margin: 50});
    doc.fontSize(12);
    doc.text('Simple document', 10, 30, {align: 'center', width: 200});
    doc.writeSync(process.env.PWD + '/public/doc.pdf');
}

When I call this method by Meteor.call(), the server restarts. The document is being created though. Any suggestions?

Question:chinese display in pdfkit

Hello, I am using pdfkit to generate PDF in nodejs project, but the latter part of Chinese in pdf turn into white squares or missing with different font when read in a mobile phone browsing or in Adobe PDF.It is strange that using the PC web browser like Google Chrome is okay. What is more, when I comment some front code ,namely delete the front part of Chinese, white squares turn into Chinese.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!

How to disable pdfkit client side

Hello,
As title said, I would like to disable meteor pdfkit for the client side, I don't know how to do that properly.

Do you have advise to do so?

ReferenceError: PDFDocument is not defined

I've tried to use a bit of the sample from the readme, but it errors out on the first bit, trying to use PDFDocument. Perhaps it's an issue with using it on 0.8.2 / 0.8.3?

Error: EACCES, open

Any idea why I might be getting this error?

Exception while invoking method 'reportBatch' Error: EACCES, open '/app-storage/MeterBatchReport.pdf'

below is my server-side code

reportBatch:function(dataUrl){
        var fs = Npm.require('fs');
        var path = Npm.require('path');

        var doc = new PDFDocument({size: 'A4', margin: 50});
        var buffer = new Buffer(dataUrl.split(",")[1], 'base64');

        doc.image(buffer, 10, 10);
        var dirPath = process.env.CLOUD_DIR;
        var filename = '/MeterBatchReport.pdf';
        var filepath = path.join(dirPath, filename);
        console.log(filepath);
        doc.writeSync(filepath);

    }

Question: Using an image from project folder

Sorry for the newbie question, but I've been going around with this for a while.

I have an image in my public folder, which i want to use as a header in the pdf.
From the Quick Start example, i can see you use a image that is on the db. Is that necessary?

How do I use an image from my projects directory?

If i just use doc.image(imagePath), i get an error saying that that file/dir doesn't exist.

Thanks

pdfkit ignores margin setting

creating a new document:
doc = new PDFDocument({size:'Letter', margin: 36});
Does not seem to actually set any margins. Text will start at the left edge of the page and run to the right edge of the page. All elements essentially have to be manually positioned. I've also tried setting the margins in separate addPage() calls, with similar lack of effect.
Not a huge problem, just a bit of a hassle and a documented feature that doesn't seem to be working in current meteor versions.

Question: how to use outputSync

On atmosphere you mentioned using outputSync() to returning the PDF as binary String.
How is that done from within a server method? How do you catch this and display on the client side? Or perhaps I don't understand what you mean by that. Either way, an example of this would be helpful.

Add example without using Iron Router

The example given is great, but I'm trying to figure out how to use it without Iron Router. Could I get a simple example of that?

Write is asynchronous

Methodes:

write
output

Are asynchronous and can't be used in Meteor Fibered code.

Update to new package system

Update the package to support meteor 0.9.X's package system.
