How can I open with javascript link data:application/pdf;filename=generated.pdf;base64;DATA in Chrome 71?
Link from console opened successfully, but not from code – unfortunately.
The snippet does not work for security reason. Only for code demonstration.
I read some similar questions, but did not find an answer.
var button = document.getElementById("button");button.addEventListener("click", generate, false);function generate() { var doc = new jsPDF({ orientation: "l", unit: "mm" }); doc.text('ACT', 130, 20); var string = doc.output('datauristring'); console.log(string); var link = document.createElement('a'); link.href = string; link.setAttribute('target', '_blank');document.body.appendChild(link); link.click(); link.parentNode.removeChild(link);}<script src="https://unpkg.com/jspdf@1.5.3/dist/jspdf.min.js"></script><button id="button">Generate pdf table</button>Advertisement
Answer
Try window.open() instead. The following code worked for me. You will need to modify the window/page size.
let dataSrc = pdf.output("datauristring");let win = window.open("", "myWindow");win.document.write("<html><head><title>jsPDF</title></head><body><embed src=" + dataSrc + "></embed></body></html>");Update:
Didn’t realize that jsPDF comes with a built-in method
pdf.output('dataurlnewwindow');, which uses iframe,The downside of
pdf.output('dataurlnewwindow')is that it opens a new tab/window withdatauristringas the pdf file name and the download button doesn’t work, whilewindow.open(pdf.output('bloburl'))seems fine with the download button.Okay, pdf file can be renamed like this:
pdf.setProperties({ title: "jsPDF sample"});Update 2:
To avoid the page being cut off when a page is zoomed, you can set the html2canvas scale accordingly.
