A JavaScript PDF generation library for Node and the browser.
This project is a fork of pdfkit by @devongovett and continued under the scope of this project since it has react-pdf specific features. Any recongnition should go to him and the original project mantainers.
PDFKit is a PDF document generation library for Node and the browser that makes creating complex, multi-page, printable documents easy. It's written in CoffeeScript, but you can choose to use the API in plain 'ol JavaScript if you like. The API embraces chainability, and includes both low level functions as well as abstractions for higher level functionality. The PDFKit API is designed to be simple, so generating complex documents is often as simple as a few function calls.
Check out some of the documentation and examples to see for yourself! You can also read the guide as a self-generated PDF with example output displayed inline. If you'd like to see how it was generated, check out the README in the docs folder.
You can also try out an interactive in-browser demo of PDFKit here.
Installation uses the npm package manager. Just type the following command after installing npm.
npm install @react-pdf/pdfkit
For complete API documentation and more examples, see the PDFKit website.
