Convert HTML Page To PDF in ASP.NET MVC

HTML To PDF With CSS, SVG, Chart Using Jquery

Introduction

In this blog, I explain how to make PDF of any HTML page with CSS and SVG (like all chart give the SVG object), I use in this jspdf.debug.js, html2canvas.min.js, and canvg.min.js in this blog, so its combinations of the all three js and make a perfect PDF file.

Step 1: Create a HTML page

Create a new HTML page, Define the HTML body to contain the two-division tags, displaying different information on the screen.

<html>
<head>
<style>
#customers {
  font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  border-collapse: collapse;
  width: 100%;
}

#customers td, #customers th {
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  padding: 8px;
}

#customers tr:nth-child(even){background-color: #f2f2f2;}

#customers tr:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

#customers th {
  padding-top: 12px;
  padding-bottom: 12px;
  text-align: left;
  background-color: #4CAF50;
  color: white;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
  <input type="button" id="btnDownload" value="download" /> Please click on this button to get chart with html content on pdf
  <div class="white-back row" style="padding: 1.5rem;" id="tvgMainCnt">
    <div id="top-content">
      <div>
        <div>
          <img src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1198/1*n-Q2XBz6CFC1MgMpdab4xQ.jpeg" style="height: 100px;" />
        </div>
        </div>
      <div style="margin-top: 1rem;">
        <p style="color:green">
          Dear members,
        </p>
      </div>
      <div>
        Added some fake text: Please ignore this is test text, Please ignore this is test text, Please ignore this is test text.
      </div>
      <br />
       <table id="customers" class="table table-striped" width="100%">
       
        <thead width="100%" width="100%">
            <tr class='warning' >
           <th>No.</th>
                <th>Country</th>
                <th>Population</th>
                <th>Date</th>
                <th>Age</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td>1</td>
                <td>Chinna</td>
                <td>1,363,480,000 000 000</td>
                <td>March 24, 2014</td>
                <td>19.1</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>2</td>
                <td>India</td>
                <td>1,241,900,000</td>
                <td>March 24, 2014</td>
                <td>17.4</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>3</td>
                <td>United States</td>
                <td>317,746,000</td>
                <td>March 24, 2014</td>
                <td>4.44</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>4</td>
                <td>Indonesia</td>
                <td>249,866,000</td>
                <td>July 1, 2013</td>
                <td>3.49</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td>5</td>
                <td>Brazil</td>
                <td>201,032,714</td>
                <td>July 1, 2013</td>
                <td>2.81</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
      <div style="margin-top: 1rem;">
        <p>
          Download of chart with html content should work on all browser but not working in Microsoft edge.
        </p>
      </div>
    </div>

    <div id="testchart"></div>
     </div>
    <div id="bottom-content">
      <p>Thanks for looking into this issue, struggling to fix this for last 2 days.
      UPDATE: Finally able to fix it. Cheers!!</p>
      <p>this demo develop by Bhavdip Talaviya</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>
Step 2: Copy all CDN link into your HTML page

now you need to copy all CDN (js) link into your HTML page, Here in the sample code, we have used the CDN URLs.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Required to convert named colors to RGB -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/canvg/1.4/rgbcolor.min.js"></script>

<!-- Optional if you want blur -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/stackblur-canvas@^1/dist/stackblur.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/canvg/dist/browser/canvg.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highcharts/5.0.7/highcharts.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.2.61/jspdf.debug.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/0.4.1/html2canvas.min.js"></script>

paste above code below the closing body tag (</body>).

Step 3: Make jquery to generate the PDF file
Now you need to Make jquery logic for the generate the PDF file so you can add logic for the download button and make jquery in this same page in the script tag.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    Highcharts.chart('testchart', {

        title: {
            text: 'Solar Employment Growth by Sector, 2010-2016'
        },

        subtitle: {
            text: 'Source: thesolarfoundation.com'
        },

        yAxis: {
            title: {
                text: 'Number of Employees'
            }
        },
        legend: {
            layout: 'vertical',
            align: 'right',
            verticalAlign: 'middle'
        },

        plotOptions: {
            series: {
                label: {
                    connectorAllowed: false
                },
                pointStart: 2010
            }
        },

        series: [{
            name: 'Installation',
            data: [43934, 52503, 57177, 69658, 97031, 119931, 137133, 154175]
        }, {
            name: 'Manufacturing',
            data: [24916, 24064, 29742, 29851, 32490, 30282, 38121, 40434]
        }, {
            name: 'Sales & Distribution',
            data: [11744, 17722, 16005, 19771, 20185, 24377, 32147, 39387]
        }, {
            name: 'Project Development',
            data: [null, null, 7988, 12169, 15112, 22452, 34400, 34227]
        }, {
            name: 'Other',
            data: [12908, 5948, 8105, 11248, 8989, 11816, 18274, 18111]
        }],

        responsive: {
            rules: [{
                condition: {
                    maxWidth: 500
                },
                chartOptions: {
                    legend: {
                        layout: 'horizontal',
                        align: 'center',
                        verticalAlign: 'bottom'
                    }
                }
            }]
        }

    });
});
$("#btnDownload").click(function(){
  var doc = new jsPDF('portrait', 'pt', 'a4', true);
    var elementHandler = {
        '#ignorePDF': function(element, renderer) {
            return true;
        }
    };

    var source = document.getElementById("top-content");
    doc.fromHTML(source, 15, 15, {
        'width': 560,
        'elementHandlers': elementHandler
    });

    var svg = document.querySelector('svg');
    var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    var canvasIE = document.createElement('canvas');
    var context = canvas.getContext('2d');




    var data = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(svg);
    canvg(canvas, data);
    var svgBlob = new Blob([data], {
        type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8'
    });

    var url = canvas.toDataURL(svgBlob);//DOMURL.createObjectURL(svgBlob);

    var img = new Image();
    img.onload = function() {
        context.canvas.width = $('#testchart').find('svg').width();;
        context.canvas.height = $('#testchart').find('svg').height();;
        context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        // freeing up the memory as image is drawn to canvas
        //DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);

        var dataUrl;
        if (isIEBrowser()) { // Check of IE browser 
            var svg = $('#testchart').highcharts().container.innerHTML;
            canvg(canvasIE, svg);
            dataUrl = canvasIE.toDataURL('image/JPEG');
        } else {
            dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
        }
        doc.addImage(dataUrl, 'JPEG', 20, 365, 560, 350); // 365 is top 

        var bottomContent = document.getElementById("bottom-content");
        doc.fromHTML(bottomContent, 15, 750, {   //700 is bottom content top  if you increate this then you should increase above 365
            'width': 560,
            'elementHandlers': elementHandler
        });

        setTimeout(function() {
            doc.save('HTML-To-PDF-Dvlpby-Bhavdip.pdf');
        }, 2000);
    };
    img.src = url;
});
function isIEBrowser() {
    var ieBrowser;
    var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
    var msie = ua.indexOf("MSIE ");

    if (msie > 0 || !!navigator.userAgent.match(/Trident.*rv\:11\./)) // Internet Explorer
    {
        ieBrowser = true;
    } else //Other browser
    {
        console.log('Other Browser');
        ieBrowser = false;
    }

    return ieBrowser;
};
</script>

you can set height and width based on your HTML page so now I put hight, width based on my HTML page.
