Angular 12 Convert HTML into PDF working Functionality

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. Today in this blog post, I am going to tell you, Angular 12 Convert HTML into PDF working Functionality.

Guy’s Angular 12 came . if you are new then you must check below two links:

1. Angular12 Basic Tutorials
2. Angular Free Templates

Friends now I proceed onwards and here is the working code snippet and please use carefully this to avoid the mistakes:

1. Firstly friends we need fresh angular 12 setup and for this we need to run below commands but if you already have angular 12 setup then you can avoid below commands.

Secondly we should also have latest node version installed on our system:

npm install -g @angular/cli 

ng new htmltopdf //Create new Angular Project

cd htmltopdf // Go inside the Angular Project Folder

ng serve --open // Run and Open the Angular Project

http://localhost:4200/ // Working Angular Project Url

2. Now friends, here we need to run below commands into our project terminal to install pdfmake, bootstrap(good looks) modules into our angular application:

npm install --save pdfmake

npm install html-to-pdfmake

npm install jspdf --save

npm i --save bootstrap

ng serve --o //will run the angular project

3. Now friends, here we need to add below  into our angular.json file:

"styles": [
           ...
           "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
          
         ],

4. Now friends we just need to add below code into src/app/app.component.ts file:

import { Component, ViewChild, ElementRef  } from '@angular/core';

import jsPDF from 'jspdf';
import pdfMake from 'pdfmake/build/pdfmake';
import pdfFonts from 'pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts';
pdfMake.vfs = pdfFonts.pdfMake.vfs;
import htmlToPdfmake from 'html-to-pdfmake';

...
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild('pdfTable') pdfTable: ElementRef;
  ...
  //PDF genrate button click function
  public downloadAsPDF() {
    const doc = new jsPDF();
    //get table html
    const pdfTable = this.pdfTable.nativeElement;

    //html to pdf format
    var html = htmlToPdfmake(pdfTable.innerHTML);
   
    const documentDefinition = { content: html };

    pdfMake.createPdf(documentDefinition).open();

    

  
  }

  
  
  
}

5. Now friends we just need to add below code into src/app/app.component.html file:

<div id="pdfTable" #pdfTable>
        <h2>HTML To PDF</h2>
                  
        <table class="table table-bordered">
          <thead>
            <tr>
              <th>Firstname</th>
              <th>Lastname</th>
              <th>Website</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <td>Ajay</td>
              <td>Malhotra</td>
              <td>Therichpost.com</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>Ajay</td>
              <td>Malhotra</td>
              <td>Therichpost.com</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>Ajay</td>
              <td>Malhotra</td>
              <td>Therichpost.com</td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>
      </div>
      
      <button class="btn btn-primary" (click)="downloadAsPDF()">Export To PDF</button>
