Save pdf directly to file using jspdf

问题:

My script is a Firefox addon so has access to sensitive code like access to filesystem etc.
I display a Panel populated with html content, I could easily send input to the addon code using postMessage
When I run the code below a pdf is generated and a download prompt is shown so i can select directory to place file, but I'd like to save the file using javascript directly to a file in background without the download prompt showing.
Something like: doc.saveToFile("/path/to/file") // custom method in my addon code
Would this be possible using the jsPDF object?

<html>      <head>         <script type='text/javascript' src='jspdf.source.js'></script>     </head>      <body>         Hey         <script>         var doc = new jsPDF();         doc.text(20, 20, 'Hello bob');         doc.save('test.pdf');         </script>      </body> </html>

This should work on your Firefox add-on code:

const { OS } = require("resource://gre/modules/osfile.jsm");  var pathToFile = OS.Path.join("path", "to", "file.pdf");  var doc = new jsPDF(); doc.text(20, 20, 'Hello bob');  var ab = doc.output('arraybuffer'); var u8 = new Uint8Array(ab);  OS.File.writeAtomic(pathToFile, u8).then(    function()    {        alert('File written!');    },    function(e)    {        alert('Error ' + e);    } ); 

If you aren't using the Add-On SDK, but rather a normal extension, replace the first line with:

const { OS } = Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/osfile.jsm", {});

But why you don't wanna use your add-on? I think that you don't be able to access the filesystem or things like that, with jsPDF or pdf.js (http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/, which is a mozilla project), you will be able to print something that is being displayed on the window, but not sure if you can access some local files.
