Note: Before attempting to overwrite an existing PDF file, it must be free. When we run the code, a PDF file called SampleDocument.pdf is created in the root folder of our project: $ node index.js Of course, we'll want to end() the stream in the end. Once created, we can add contents to it, via the text function. We're using the pipe() function to do this and save the resulting SampleDocument.pdf into our root directory. If you're not familiar with how streams work, check out our Introduction to Node.js Streams. We'll be piping that stream into a writeable stream to save the file. PdfDoc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream( 'SampleDocument.pdf')) įirst, we import the required modules, after which, we instantiate the PDFDocument. We'll pipe the contents of our PDF file into a fs's writeable stream to save it. To create a PDF document, we will need to import the fs (file system) module as well. To use the module in the project, we'll import it via require(): const PDFDocument = require( 'pdfkit') Then, let's install pdfkit: $ npm install pdfkit
Let's create a project directory, cd into it and initialize the Node project with default settings: $ mkdir pdfkit-project $ cd pdfkit-project $ npm init -y PDFKit is a JavaScript PDF generation library for Node.js that provides an easy way to create multi-page, printable PDF documents.
PDFKIT BARCODE HOW TO
In this article, we will discuss how to generate PDF files in NodeJS using the NPM package pdfkit. In dynamic web applications, you might need to export data into a document and PDF is usually a popular option.
The PDF format is one of the most common document formats for transferring information.
