This is a JavaScript software development kit that helps to generate PDF formatted documents on client side.
Bytescout PDF Generator SDK for JavaScript, otherwise known as BytescoutPDF.js, provides support for PDF generation. Created documents can use not only text but images, graphics, URLs and HTML formatting. You will not need any Adobe software support or any server side components. With this script, PDF is generated on the client-side right in the browser. Images can be added from canvas or via URL. Alpha channel can be used for image transparency. If you need to draw lines, rectangles, symbols or the tables and logo required for an invoice, the task can be handled as well. Additionally you can rotate images, add and change PDF properties (like title, keywords, author etc.), headers and footers etc.
Using outlines with bookmarks to pages and http links and overall HTML formatting can be handled with the SDK. Choosing a font, font style, size, and alignment are possible. Text could be arranged in columns, if necessary. Drawing of image, color of its lines and text with formatting are other features that are possible. Rotating of text and wrapping of text is also available. 5 different fonts are supported with bold, italic, underline styles and auto wrapping. Document metadata can be set and the output document can be downloaded or sent to browser as a stream. It works with currently popular browsers like the Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iOS Safari, etc. This is a good tool.
