How to wrap a word in jsPDF?

Question

I downloaded jspdf 1.2.60 to create a pdf file containing text from my html table. One of the columns contains entries entered by the user, so it can be very large, as a result of which the text is executed on the page.

When cleaning, I found this one however

var splitTitle = doc.splitTextToSize(reportTitle, 180); 

no longer available in api. (I looked into the jspdf.js file).

How can i solve this?

Any idea is welcome.

Answer 1

Below is the code that will be useful for your problem. It will work perfectly for your requirement.

  var lMargin=15; //left margin in mm var rMargin=15; //right margin in mm var pdfInMM=210; // width of A4 in mm function getPDF() { var doc = new jsPDF("p","mm","a4"); var paragraph="Apple iPhone 7 is officially upon us. After a week of pre-orders, the latest in the iPhone lineup officially launches today.\n\nEager Apple fans will be lining up out the door at Apple and carrier stores around the country to grab up the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, while Android owners look on bemusedly.\n\nDuring the Apple Event last week, the tech giant revealed a number of big, positive changes coming to the iPhone 7. It thinner. The camera is better. And, perhaps best of all, the iPhone 7 is finally water resistant.\n\nStill, while there may be plenty to like about the new iPhone, there plenty more that left us disappointed. Enough, at least, to make smartphone shoppers consider waiting until 2017, when Apple is reportedly going to let loose on all cylinders with an all-glass chassis design."; var lines =doc.splitTextToSize(paragraph, (pdfInMM-lMargin-rMargin)); doc.text(lMargin,20,lines); doc.save('Generated.pdf'); }

For splitTextToSize :

As you said doc.splitTextToSize(text,size) not in jspdf 1.2.60 api.

Reason . It doc.splitTextToSize(text,size) present in jspdf 1.2.60 lib, but not in jspdf.js . It is present in jspdf.debug.js and in its smaller vesion jspdf.min.js . This is the reason you do not find splitTextToSize in your jspdf.js . You searched for it in the wrong file. You can replace jspdf.js with jspdf.debug.js and your code will work jspdf.debug.js fine.

jspdf.debug.js and jspdf.min.js are present in the \jsPDF-master\dist location in the zip api file.

Note I have provided you the code to split a long paragraph into several lines. Here I divided the line after 180 mm (210 mm-15 mm-15 mm), if the text goes beyond 180 mm, then the text will go on a new line. You can change the parameters according to your use.

Below is a screenshot for your link, which contains the definition of the splitTextToSize function in jspdf.debug.js .

Let me know if you need any help. Happy coding ...!

It just works without any flaws. Evidence:

 function createPdf() { var doc = new jsPDF('p','in','letter') var loremipsum = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus id eros turpis. Vivamus tempor urna vitae sapien mollis molestie. Vestibulum in lectus non enim bibendum laoreet at at libero. Etiam malesuada erat sed sem blandit in varius orci porttitor. Sed at sapien urna. Fusce augue ipsum, molestie et adipiscing at, varius quis enim. Morbi sed magna est, vel vestibulum urna. Sed tempor ipsum vel mi pretium at elementum urna tempor. Nulla faucibus consectetur felis, elementum venenatis mi mollis gravida. Aliquam mi ante, accumsan eu tempus vitae, viverra quis justo.\n\nProin feugiat augue in augue rhoncus eu cursus tellus laoreet. Pellentesque eu sapien at diam porttitor venenatis nec vitae velit. Donec ultrices volutpat lectus eget vehicula. Nam eu erat mi, in pulvinar eros. Mauris viverra porta orci, et vehicula lectus sagittis id. Nullam at magna vitae nunc fringilla posuere. Duis volutpat malesuada ornare. Nulla in eros metus. Vivamus a posuere libero.' // This line works. Try generating PDF. lines = doc.splitTextToSize(loremipsum, 7.5) doc.text(0.5, 0.5, lines) doc.save('Test.pdf') } 

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>PDF Test</title> </head> <body> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.2.60/jspdf.min.js"></script> <button onclick="createPdf()">Create PDF</button> </body> </html> 

You can also see the same results in the latest version 1.2.61. So it’s clear that something else is causing the error .

EDIT : here I used in , so here it wraps up if the text goes beyond 7.5in . If you use another device, handle it properly or may cause problems.
