Convert any web page to pdf and save it to Server location - Using AJAX javascript and PHP

 Saving PDF file on local machine is easy - but  if you want to save it on server location - then we have two waays .. 


1. Using JavaScript AJAX call ... 

2. Using PHP  package - wkhtmltopdf

=====================1. JavaScript Way -============================

pdfmaker.php or .html 


<div id="kil">
 
    <!--  your can use URL or path for image -->
          <img id="kil2" src="../folder/vasu.png" >
    <p>

        Kilvish is the Biggest villan of the Earth Planet.

    </p>
</div>


<!-- Include the jsPDF library -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/2.4.0/jspdf.umd.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/1.3.2/html2canvas.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>

<script>

window.jsPDF = window.jspdf.jsPDF;
 

// Create a new jsPDF instance
var doc = new jsPDF();

// Get the HTML element you want to capture
var element = document.getElementById('kil');

// Use html2canvas library to capture the screen data
html2canvas(element).then(function(canvas) {

var img2 = document.getElementById('kil2');

    // Convert canvas to base64 image data
  var imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');

  doc.addImage(img2, 'png', 10, 78, 12, 15);


  // Add the image data to the PDF document
  doc.addImage(imgData, 'PNG', 10, 10, 190, 0);

  $.ajax({
  url: 'upload.php',
  method: 'POST',
  data: {
    pdfData: doc.output('datauristring') // Convert the PDF to a data URI string
  },
  success: function(response) {
    console.log('PDF saved successfully!');
  },
  error: function(xhr, status, error) {
    console.error('Error saving k PDF:', error);
  }
});


})




</script>






on  server side code to accept AJAX reqjest with data - and save it on server location - 


upload.php 

<?php
// Get the PDF data from the POST request
$pdfData = $_POST['pdfData'];


file_put_contents('ciss.pdf', base64_decode(explode(',', $pdfData)[1]));


echo 'PDF saved successfully!';

?>

//------------- finish -----------




========== 2. Using PHP  package - wkhtmltopdf =================

To install the wkhtmltopdf library on your server.


Connect to your server: Use SSH or any other preferred method to log in to your server. run following commands -


sudo apt update


sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y libxrender1 libxext6 libfontconfig1 libjpeg-turbo8 libx11-6 fontconfig


sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox_0.12.6-1.bionic_amd64.deb


sudo apt install wkhtmltopdf


wkhtmltopdf --version

create a php file on node server or any server and code like following



<?php

$url = 'https://flowerbet5.com/aaa.php'; // url from which you want to get your content

$savePath = 'aaaaaa.pdf'; // specify path like uploads/demo.pdf


exec("wkhtmltopdf $url $savePath");


if (file_exists($savePath)) {
    echo 'Webpage converted and saved as PDF:
} else {
    echo 'Error converting webpage to PDF.';
}
?>

How to to deploy python app sepratly on same server (previous one ) /root/demo - Deploy Python app on Ubuntu Server using ssh Terminal - by Vasu Birla

hello friends , am Vasu Birla and Today we will deploy Python App.. in previous post we have deployed NODE js app on 0.0.0.0 (your server IP) and acess it using http://0.0.0.0/   Now  If you want to deploy a Python app separately on the same server, in the /root/demo directory, and access it using http://0.0.0.0/demo,  you can use Apache2 and mod_wsgi to host the Python app.   Additionally, you can configure Apache2 to proxy the requests for the   /demo path to your Python app without affecting the Node.js app hosted at the root.   First of all  put your python project folder on root location of server , using putty with cloning git repo or using FTP server and direct paste folder (in previous post we aleady discussed it)   lets suppose your folder name is demo .. location would be  /root/demo   install necessery things to support your python app .  like pip install or django ..etc     as well install in virtual enviorment also ..       -> python3 -m venv venv        -> source v
