I am using jspdf and html2canvas combination to save html page as pdf. A pdf copy of current page is saved the moment you click a button. The problem is, if you zoom in the page, and then click the button, the saved pdf contains incomplete portion of the current page. Most of the part not visible on page due to zooming, gets cut off in the saved pdf page. What is the solution? Below is the js code being invoked upon click of save button-

var pdf = new jsPDF('l', 'pt', 'a4');
var source = $('#someId')[0];
var options = {
   background  : '#eee'
};

pdf.addHTML(source, options, function(){
pdf.save('abcd.pdf');
});

EDIT

Taking idea from Saurabh's approach, I tried quite a similar thing, but without writing code for any extra div element. Before saving to pdf I made the screen size of a fixed width, and after printing I brought back the width back to default normal. It is working fine for, if it fails, we can always fix the height of the screen too, so that it appears fine in generated pdf despite zooming. Below is the code used by me:-

var pdf = new jsPDF('l', 'pt', 'a4');
var source = $('#someId')[0];
var options = {
   background  : '#eee'
};
var width = source.clientWidth;
source.style.width = '1700px';
pdf.addHTML(source, options,                 
function(){
pdf.save('abcd.pdf');
source.style.width = width+'px';
});

Here is how I managed to get the full page pdf while the page is zoomed in using jsPDF's new .html() method. First, I force the page zoom level back to 100% before converting it to pdf. It's important to reset the scale in html2canvas option after that, otherwise it'll returns a blank page.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.5.3/jspdf.debug.js"

    crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/dist/html2canvas.min.js"></script>
<!-- html2canvas 1.0.0-alpha.11 or higher version is needed -->
<script>
    function download() {
        // Bring the page zoom level back to 100%
        const scale = window.innerWidth / window.outerWidth;
        if (scale != 1) {
           document.body.style.zoom = scale;            
        }

        let pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
        pdf.html(document.getElementById('idName'), {
            html2canvas: {
                scale: 1 // default is window.devicePixelRatio
            },
            callback: function () {
                // pdf.save('test.pdf');
                window.open(pdf.output('bloburl')); // to debug
            }
        });
    }
</script>

Update: A better way is to adjust the html2canvas.scale according to the scale factor.

function download() {
    let pWidth = pdf.internal.pageSize.width; // 595.28 is the width of a4
    let srcWidth = document.getElementById('idName').scrollWidth;
    let margin = 18; // narrow margin - 1.27 cm (36);
    let scale = (pWidth - margin * 2) / srcWidth;
    let pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
    pdf.html(document.getElementById('idName'), {
        x: margin,
        y: margin,
        html2canvas: {
            scale: scale,
        },
        callback: function () {
            window.open(pdf.output('bloburl'));
        }
    });
}

I was going through the same problem, To do this what I did is I made a copy of printing div and while clicking print button I attached div copy to my dom with margin-top:500px

After I got its image then I hide this copy of the div, and set margin-top:0px

I hope this will work for you.
