Input(type="submit", value="Create PDF", class="button-style") Textarea(name="content", class="text-style", placeholder="Write something for convert it to pdf") Input(type="text", name="filename", placeholder="File Name", class="text-style", maxlength) Let’s create an form in /view/index.jade file: extends layoutįorm(method="post", action="/pdfGenrator") Here, create a simple form that get the file name and text content for pdf generation. This install the pdfkit api and now need to use it. Here I simply install by the npm install pdfkit command in command prompt: How to install PDFKit for pdf generation it is necessary. Now install all dependency by the npm install command. It is not necessary to create but create a simple demo that which understand the example. There are following steps to create generate pdf in node.js: Step 1 Create an express project In this article create only the simple pdf document by the help of express project and PDFKit module. It is written in pure CoffeeScript, but you can choose to use the API in plain ‘ol JavaScript if you like. PDFKit is pdf document generation library in node.js that make creating complex, multi-page, printable documents easy. This article is based on the pdfkit module. For the opposite conversion, from PDF to SVG, you can use Mozilla’s PDF.js.In this article, I’m explaining how to generate pdf document in node.js.For inserting SVG graphics into a PDFKit document there is also svgkit.PDFKit, the JavaScript PDF generation library for Node and the browser.There are bugs, please send issues and/or pull requests.Use an updated PDFKit version (≥0.8.1): see here how to build it, or use the prebuilt file in the examples folder.other things I don’t even know they exist.text attributes: font-variant, writing-mode, unicode-bidi.transformations: transform, viewBox & preserveAspectRatio attributes.colors: fill, stroke & color (rgb, rgba, hex, string), fill-opacity, stroke-opacity & opacity.text attributes: x, y, dx, dy, rotate, text-anchor, textLength, word-spacing, letter-spacing, font-size.shapes: rect, circle, path, ellipse, line, polyline, polygon.If your fonts don’t follow this pattern, or you want to register fonts at the moment they are encountered in the svg, you can use a custom fontCallback function. Missing Bold, Italic, BoldItalic fonts are simulated with stroke and skew angle. Make sure to name the fonts with the exact pattern ‘MyFont’, ‘MyFont-Bold’, ‘MyFont-Italic’, ‘MyFont-BoldItalic’ (case sensitive), if the font is named font-family=”MyFont” in the svg. SVGtoPDF doesn’t wait for font loading with asynchronous XMLHttpRequest. In the browser, it’s easier to register fonts ( see here how) before calling SVGtoPDF. precision = precision factor for approximative calculations (default = 3) assumePt = assume that units are PDF points instead of SVG pixels warningCallback = function called when there is a warning colorCallback = function called to get color, making mapping to CMYK possible documentCallback = same as above for the external SVG documents imageCallback = same as above for the images (for Node.js) fontCallback = function called to get the fonts, see source code useCSS = use the CSS styles computed by the browser (for SVGElement only) preserveAspectRatio = override alignment of the SVG content inside its viewport width, height = initial viewport, by default it's the page dimensions X, y = the position where the SVG will be added Doc = the PDF document created with PDFKit
