Hallo, try it this way:
-
install it:
npm install pdfmake --save -
import stuff
import pdfFonts from 'pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts.js';
import pdfMake from 'pdfmake/build/pdfmake';
pdfMake.vfs = pdfFonts.pdfMake.vfs; // FIX font reference
…
- use it
foraTemer() {
var dd = {
content: [
'First paragraph',
'Another paragraph, this time a little bit longer to make sure, this line will be divided into at least two lines'
]
}
console.log("gerandddoooo");
var pdf = pdfMake.createPdf(dd);
pdf.getBase64(function (output) {
console.log(output)
});
}
\o/
I tested only on android device.
How is that ? you convert the file to base64. and after that what did you do
you can save the PDF to a file and then show it to the user.
beware when opening a PDF in android, you need to copy or move the PDF file to
cordova.file.externalApplicationStorageDirectory, otherwise you will face permission issues.
@dimascrocco I’ve just used pdfmake plugin in my application as you mentioned, i’m generating pdf successfully.
But the issue is when i use this plugin, my app startup time is increased by 6-7 seconds. I tried even adding pdfmake plugin in ionic blank application, it also takes 6-7 seconds to load app.
Please visit below issue:
Please help me out of this issue asap. Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the late response…
The pdfmake library has 955K (minified version), if you do not lazy load it, your boot will need an extra time to load all this code.
