PDF conversion of a simple AngularJS application #74

Open mah01 opened 9 years ago

mah01 commented 9 years ago

Hey,

I am trying to convert a simple AngularJS application to PDF. However, I do not see angular generated content inside the converted pdf. Am I missing something obvious?

I am attaching the html screen how it should look like. "Right after body" is the <p> tag inside the index.html right after <body> and "right before body end" is the same, but just before </body>. All other text is "generated" by angular in the template.

Rendered html when I see it in the browser:

Generated PDF (for some reason I am not able to attach it here): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3585277/generated_file.pdf

html: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3585277/dist.zip

How are you getting the HTML and passing it to html-pdf?

I think you would need to render the HTML on the client (or maybe PhantomJS), then pass that rendered HTML back to the server, to be passed to html-pdf. I would recommend getting the rendered HTML by doing something like "document.documentElement.outerHTML". This ensures you get the HTML as you see it in your browser, after all AngularJS code has run.
