for pages more than 70 the plugin is not generating pdf also the css footer properties are getting tampered.

html2pdf.js creates one single html canvas with all of the content and then converts that to a pdf. The problem is that browsers have a limit on how big a canvas can be, so for large documents the pdf ends up just being blank.

html3pdf, which is a fork of this library and shouldn't require any changes to your code, solves this by rendering each page on its own canvas (although this is much slower).

I tried to import it but it didn't work. It always says html2pdf is not defined.
