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>

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.
