text based pdf #47

Closed Redhaus closed 4 years ago

Redhaus commented 4 years ago

Hello sir,

Quick question on your library Does this pdf generator have the ability to keep the text as text or does it turn everything into an image. I have mostly text-based content I need to generate PDF's from, but I need the PDF's to be searchable after download

Any insight you can offer would be much appreciated.

Hey @Redhaus, Unfortunately html2pdf.js renders all content into an image, then places that image into a PDF. keeping the text as text is not possible yet.

No worries, I totally understand. Not your fault. On another note, if you need this functionality in any of your projects. Where text stays text. I found this project that allows HTML to be converted directly to pdf using WebKit print functionality. It looks promising, but I have to dig into it deeper. I hope it helps.
