Creating PDF using Pdfmake - Introduction

Pdfmake follows a declarative approach. You don't need to calculate positions manually like: writeText(text, x, y), moveDown etc..., as you other libraries do.

You just need to create document-definition-object like this:

var docDefinition = { content: 'This is an sample PDF printed with pdfMake' };

You can add more stuffs to the object with multi-level tables, images, lists, paragraphs, margins, styles etc.  After you made the object, you can create the pdf and download it.

// open the PDF in a new window
pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).open();
// print the PDF (not working in this version, will be added back in a couple of days)
// pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).print();
// download the PDF
pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).download();

Pdfmake has following features:

• line-wrapping,
• text-alignments (left, right, centered, justified),
• numbered and bulleted lists,
• tables and columns
  • auto/fixed/star-sized widths,
  • col-spans and row-spans,
  • headers automatically repeated in case of a page-break,
• images and vector graphics,
• convenient styling and style inheritance,
• page headers and footers:
  • static or dynamic content,
  • access to current page number and page count,
• background-layer
• page dimensions and orientations,
• margins,
• custom page breaks,
• font embedding,
• support for complex, multi-level (nested) structures,
• helper methods for opening/printing/downloading the generated PDF.
• setting of PDF metadata (e.g. author, subject)
