mpdf ignoring javascript
javascript, mpdf, php
Solution
`mpdf` supports basic javascript.
PDF readers understands basic javascript functions.
like `print();` you can add it using `SetJS()` function of mpdf library.
include("MPDF54/mpdf.php");
$mpdf=new mPDF('c','A4','','' , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0);
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage');
$mpdf->list_indent_first_level = 0; // 1 or 0 - whether to indent the first level of a list
$mpdf->WriteHTML($_SESSION[forms]);
$mpdf->SetJS('print();') //JS code with <script></script> tags.
$mpdf->Output();
Problem
I have a question here.. I have used buffering to get the pdf files using mpdf.. but I got a little confused here.. I have some javascript on the page that I was buffering.. but the generated content from javascript is not getting converted into pdf.. let me get this straight.. lets say I have this element ``` <div id='text'></div> ``` and on my page i have a javascript code to add text to that div.. and the results is... [open page via browser] ``` <div id='text'>TEXT I ADDED USING JAVASCRIPT</div> ``` but when i convert it to pdf... ``` <div id='text'></div> (I DIDNT GET THAT TEXT) ``` This is the script that is used.. template.php ``` ob_start(); // content of page (included inline javascript code) $yourfile = ob_get_content(); $_SESSION[forms] = $yourfile; echo $yourfile; ``` convert.php ``` session_start(); include("MPDF54/mpdf.php"); $mpdf=new mPDF('c','A4','','' , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0); $mpdf->SetDisplayMode('fullpage'); $mpdf->list_indent_first_level = 0; // 1 or 0 - whether to indent the first level of a list $mpdf->WriteHTML($_SESSION[forms]); $mpdf->Output(); ``` Anybody can help me with this???
