WebApp PDF creation?
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2019 10:47 am
Hi all,
I'm only just now testing with HTML5 for a client (so a bit of a newbie to this side of LC) with the aim of porting their existing LC projects over to become WebApps (Win/Mac Desktop only). What would be the way to output PDFs from a series of cards generated in LC?
Currently, the desktop app gathers all the data to produce a report or proposal document over a series of cards which are added one by one to a pdf using the pdf library. But I understand that this library has not been converted for Emsripten usage.
So, perhaps there is a method using JS or similar that someone can give hints to outputting either a series of cards or snapshots or canvas areas for print via the print() js to the native Windows/Mac print dialogue for PDF creation. (??)
Thanks in advance
