Normally, if you wanted to programmatically create PDFs, you would have to use a server side client, such as PDFLib, FPDF, TCPDF, DomPDF.
Here is an HTML5 client-side solution to creating PDFs called jsPDF.
It comes with a number of features, including:
- Add images.
- Add different font faces and change font sizes.
- Convert HTML to PDF.
- Add multiple pages.
- Draw shapes.
- Convert page layout from portrait to landscape.
- Split strings to fit text on the page.
Browser Support
Because this uses a Javascript library, it is compatible with all major browsers, including IE6+, Firefox 3+, Chrome 3+, Safari 3+ and Opera.
