Client-side
Version 0.3 is under development. Do not use in a production.
Documentation is under development.
To begin in browser with the default configuration, you should include two files:
- pdfmake.min.js,
- vfs_fonts.js - default font definition (it contains Roboto, you can however use custom fonts instead)
<!doctype html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
<meta charset='utf-8'>
<title>my first pdfmake example</title>
<script src='build/pdfmake.min.js'></script>
<script src='build/vfs_fonts.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
...
Library sources
cdnjs
https://cdnjs.com/libraries/pdfmake
npm
npm install pdfmake@0.3.0-beta.1
Files for client-side is available here:
require('pdfmake/build/pdfmake.js');
require('pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts.js');
Using javascript frameworks:
var pdfMake = require('pdfmake/build/pdfmake.js');
require('pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts.js');
or
var pdfMake = require('pdfmake/build/pdfmake.js');
var pdfFonts = require('pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts.js');
pdfMake.addVirtualFileSystem(pdfFonts);
or
import pdfMake from "pdfmake/build/pdfmake";
import "pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts";
or
import pdfMake from "pdfmake/build/pdfmake";
import pdfFonts from "pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts";
pdfMake.addVirtualFileSystem(pdfFonts);
TypeScript:
import * as pdfMake from "pdfmake/build/pdfmake";
import * as pdfFonts from 'pdfmake/build/vfs_fonts';
(<any>pdfMake).addVirtualFileSystem(pdfFonts);
For Ionic and Angular see issue.
If a Cannot read property ‘TYPED_ARRAY_SUPPORT’ of undefined error is thrown, add this to webpack config:
exclude: [ /node_modules/, /pdfmake.js$/ ]
(see issue)
Repository
Copy them directly from the build directory from the repository. Otherwise you can always build it version 0.3.x from sources.
