canvas2pdf's Introduction

Canvas2PDF

Canvas2PDF exports an HTML canvas to PDF. In other words, this library lets you build a PDF document using the canvas API.

How it works

We create a mock 2d canvas context. Use the canvas context like you would on a normal canvas. As you call methods, we use PDFKit to generate a PDF document.

Usage

//Create a new PDF canvas context.
var ctx = new canvas2pdf.Context(blobStream());

//draw your canvas like you would normally
ctx.fillStyle='yellow';
ctx.fillRect(100,100,100,100);
// more canvas drawing, etc...

//convert your PDF to a Blob and save to file
ctx.stream.on('finish', function () {
    var blob = ctx.stream.toBlob('application/pdf');
    saveAs(blob, 'example.pdf', true);
});
ctx.end();

Dependencies

Using with node.js

canvas2pdf works with node.js. Note that neither a DOM or canvas library is needed.

Notes

  • Inspired by Canvas2Svg
  • Calling fill and then stroke consecutively only executes fill
  • Some canvas 2d context methods are not implemented yet (e.g. setTransform and arcTo)
