PDF CREATOR API DOCUMENTATION

PdfCreator allows you to create your pdf files with an easier interface using the pdf-kit package. Unlike the current pdfkit structure, it performs automatic drawing with Document Definitions (dd) prepared over json.

Install

npm i auto-pdf-creator

Example use

const pf = new PDFCreator(exJson.documentOptions)

pf.load({ content: exJson.content }).then(() =>{
  pf.export('base64').then((base64) => {
    console.log(base64)
  }).catch(error => console.log(error))
})

{
  "documentOptions":{}, // The object containing the page general settings
  "content":[] // The object containing the components to be drawn
