使用jquery在单击链接时应创建当前格式的PDF

Question

I want to save my current page in PDF format on clicking a link.

My html code

<a id="pdf" href="javascript:void(0)">
          Download PDF
</a>

I tried this code but it is not working

require_once('dompdf_config.inc.php'); //on including this i get a blank page

script in same page

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#pdf").click(function(){
var html = $("body").html();
$.post( "d1.php",{ data: html});
});
});
</script>

d1.php contains

<?php
$html = $_POST['data'];
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("myCV.pdf");
?>

please help me in fixing it.Suggest me if there is any better solution.

Thanks in advance

The file inclusion..

require_once('dompdf_config.inc.php');

...actually belongs at the top of d1.php. Also, in d1.php, you have the line:

$html = urldecode($_POST['html']);

However, you don't have any form fields named "html" so I'm not sure how you're getting that data to post to that file. And, you have a hidden form field with the id of "#hidden_form", but you seem to be intending to call the submit() function on the form, which has no id attribute. You should add an id attribute to the form with the value of "hidden_form" (no #) if you wish to call the function this way.

This doesn't seem to be the most efficient way to do what you're wanting, but I believe if you start with these things, you'll be getting closer to where you want to be. Once those are done, if you still have problems, turn on the error reporting as mentioned above.
