I'm currently creating a phonegap app that lets you input Data and then creates a PDF with that data. The Input is done, but I can't find anything to make a PDF with Javascript. So far I only found jsPDF, but that doesn't support tables. The App must work offline. Does someone have an Idea?
Bytescout PDF Generator SDK for Javascript might come in handy: http://bytescout.com/products/developer/pdfgeneratorsdkjs/index.html
Ensure that browser inconsistencies for your targeted devices are taken into account.
I wanted to use jsPDF to generate tables so I made a table plugin for it. Check it out! jspdf-autotable It has all the features I was looking for in a table plugin.
- Auto width (100% of page width or only as much as required)
- Multiple pages
- Custom headers and footers
- Multiple tables on the same page
- Custom styling
- Examples
pdfmake let's you easily create tables.
It can automatically repeat headers, supports column/row spans and comes with a lot of other options.
There's an example for tables in the playground
jsPDF provide good support for tables using jsPDF-AutoTable plugin.
jsPDF and pdfmake are two javascript libraries widely used to generate pdf. I have used both and would like to share few points i observed:
jsPDF
- Performance is really good. I would able to generate PDF of 2000 pages in 5-6 seconds.
- It doesn't support utf-8 format i.e. you won't be able to render pdf in chinese, turkish and other languages.
- It doesn't support row break and table inside table.
pdfmake
- Performace is good if you are generating pdf of less than 40 pages. Performance degrade exponentially if you generate larged pdf. Almost kill the browser.
- Support utf-8 format.
- Support row break and table inside table.
- Easy to use.
You can make wise decision based on your requirement.
