Canvas2PDF

Canvas2PDF exports your HTML canvas as PDF using JavaScript. Note that this library generates actual PDF drawing calls to create a PDF with vector graphics, unlike some alternate libraries which rasterize your canvas and place it as an image in your PDF.

Usage

import PdfContext from "/src/canvas2pdf";
import blobStream from "blob-stream";
import { saveAs } from "file-saver";

// Create a new PDF canvas context.
const ctx = new PdfContext(blobStream());

// draw your canvas like you would normally
ctx.fillStyle = "yellow";
ctx.fillRect(100, 100, 100, 100);
// more canvas drawing, etc...

// convert your PDF to a Blob and save to file
ctx.stream.on("finish", function () {
  const blob = ctx.stream.toBlob("application/pdf");
  saveAs(blob, "example.pdf", true);
});
ctx.end();

Notes

  • Calling fill and then stroke consecutively only executes fill
  • Some canvas 2d context methods are not implemented yet (e.g. arcTo)
