A repository to hold various tools to extend functionality of jsPDF, including table design and string measurement.
These tools tend to be functionality I designed for other projects. At some point the intention will be to roll it all into a proper jsPDF plugin. As a hobby-programmer I cannot promise everything will adhere to the standards, but I certainly try to and am happy to hear any suggestions.
It appears the information contained in jsPDF regarding measuring string widths is based on data provided in Adobe documentation. Unfortunately, the character widths provided in this documentation do not appear to match what jsPDF actually outputs in each situation, which is why the measurements may not be 100% accurate. I have attempted to correct this by recording the values actually outputted by a jsPDF document. One day if I learn enough JavaScript I will try and integrate this into the main library, but no planned ETA on that :).
This library requires jsPDF. Details for usage can be found at their repository.
- Include the JavaScript files in your webpage
<script src="jspdf.min.js"></script>
<script src="jspdf-tb.js"></script>- Any of the functions can be accessed by calling them from a jsPDF object
var doc = new jsPDF(); // Creates a jsPDF object
// Measure the length of a text string
pdf.getStringWidth("This is a test string", "helvetica", "normal", 12); // 35.289067 mmThis library attempts to follow the airbnb style guide, with the following exceptions:
- Indents are done with 4 spaces, rather than 2 (personal preference for readability)
- Strings are enclosed in double quotes (single quotes are used more often in strings and would require excessive escaping)
