Stripped out a lot of the extraneous structure from the superb jsPDF library. This particular distribution isn't as compatible w/ IE 6-9, and has a default template to produce a 2-column document.

Like a resume, for instance :)

How To Use

This PDF generator was designed to allow HTML+CSS formatted text to render to a PDF. To support multiple columns, the transformation follows this pipeline:

HTML+CSS -> canvas(PNG) -> PDF

Since it becomes an image that is scaled, it will squash if it has too much content. If you're curious why multiple columns requires such a roundabout pipeline, send me an email :)

Just replace the content in index.html and resume.css with your own resume stuff.

In general, the goal was to type-set a PDF output with CSS rules. Without spending more effort on the project than a 1-page resume demanded. Hope this is helpful for some!

Default included fonts are Garamond, Gill Sans, and Font Awesome.
