PDFKitX

Create PDF with PDFKit Node.js package in your Meteor application, server-side and browser-side.

For a server-side only version, with better perfomance and Fibered methods (non-blocking thread, but synchronous) see this package pascoual:pdfkit

Quick Start

• Add this package

meteor add pascoual:pdfkitx

• Example: create a PDF server-side

var doc = new PDFDocument({size: 'A4', margin: 50});
doc.fontSize(12);
doc.text('PDFKit is simple', 10, 30, {align: 'center', width: 200});
doc.write(process.env.PWD + '/PDFKitExampleServerSide.pdf');
// the doc is written on server file system

• Example: create a PDF client-side

var doc = new PDFDocument({size: 'A4', margin: 50});
doc.fontSize(12);
doc.text('PDFKit is simple', 10, 30, {align: 'center', width: 200});
doc.write('PDFKitExampleClientSide.pdf');
// it will download the doc

Contributing

Contributors are very welcome. There are many things you can help with, including adding testing feature, creating examples for the examples folder... Some guidelines below:

• Questions: It's okay to ask a question on Github Issues if you're having trouble since the volume is manageable. Just prefix your Github Issue with 'Question: ' so we can differentiate easily. Also, please make sure you've read through PDFKit documentation and tried a few things before asking. This way you can be very specific in your question. Also, please provide a cloneable Github repository if the issue is complex. For more complex questions sometimes it's hard to get all of the context required to solve a problem by just looking at text.

• New Features & Bugs: You need to ask new features and bugs corrections to PDFKit creator on his GIT: https://github.com/devongovett/pdfkit/

• Answer Questions!: If you can help another user please do!

TODO

1. Add testing
2. Check if PDFKit is blocking node or is fibered
