This solution is quite different from all the others I have on the blog. It's a JavaScript solution .
Working in the REACT environment , whose main language is JavaScript, I was looking for a solution to make PDF documents and I saw and tried PDFMake and I was surprised by these features:
- Simple to understand how it works and quick to execute.
- It doesn't have a design tool, but it does have a testing solution, which is very useful for designing and testing the report you want to generate.
- It scales perfectly (it doesn't scale like the HTML to PDF solution), so you can define formal documents such as delivery notes, invoices, official documents, etc.
- You can configure PDF characteristics and page size
- You can define headers and footers, allowing you to print page numbers. In tables, it automatically manages the ending of one page and the heading of the next.
- It has more features, but the ones above seemed to me to be the most relevant.
Objetive
