Creating your first document
The easiest way to get started is to drop the CDN hosted library into your page:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.5/jspdf.debug.js"></script>
or can always get latest version via unpkg
<script src="https://unpkg.com/jspdf@latest/dist/jspdf.min.js"></script>
NPM
npm i jspdf --save
Bower
bower install jspdf --save
Then you're ready to start making your document:
// Default export is a4 paper, portrait, using milimeters for units
var doc = new jsPDF()
doc.text('Hello world!', 10, 10)
doc.save('a4.pdf')
If you want to change the paper size, orientation, or units, you can do:
// Landscape export, 2×4 inches
var doc = new jsPDF({
orientation: 'landscape',
unit: 'in',
format: [4, 2]
})
doc.text('Hello world!', 1, 1)
doc.save('two-by-four.pdf')
Great! Now give us a Star :)

Build the library with npm run build
. This will fetch all dependencies and then compile the dist

and go to localhost:8000
