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.';
}
?>
