使用jsPDF在PDF模板上呈现动态数据

Question

Newbie here. I'm making an app that retrieves data from an API, makes some charts from these data (probably using d3.js) and then renders these charts and some dynamic text on a PDF template, generating a PDF doc that can then be downloaded by the user.

I'm wondering if jsPDF can be used to fill in dynamic data on a pre-existing PDF template. Most of the PDF document is static, and it's just a few dynamic charts that need to be added in, depending on what the user inputs.

Answer 1

All of what you ask can easily be done using XSL FO to generate the PDF, scraping the SVG from the application. Most XSL FO processors would also support stamping in the charts onto static PDFs or even generating the content of the pages dynamically.
