I am trying to generate pdf from html using JSPDF and html having one complex table, Added image below.
You can see in this Fiddle, What i tried so far.
pdf.fromHTML(
source, // HTML string or DOM elem ref.
margins.left, // x coord
margins.top, { // y coord
'width': margins.width, // max width of content on PDF
'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers
},
function (dispose) {
// dispose: object with X, Y of the last line add to the PDF
// this allow the insertion of new lines after html
pdf.save('Test.pdf');
}, margins);
Problem is, when i try to generate pdf i am getting
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
Is it possible to use JSPDF for this kind of complex table or will it only work for a simple table.
EDIT: Solved this by different way, This is what i did
- I converted HTML Table into Canvas html2canvas.js
- You can get canvas as Base64 image using
canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg") - Once i got Base64 image, Created empty PDF using JSPDF and using addImage feature of JSPDF, i manage to embed Base64 image inside PDF.
If you need charts and images as part of PDF -> charts and images as part of PDF
Credit goes to my brain.

Could you please update the Fiddle so that I can get a clear idea of your solution. Thanks – Raghavendra Shivhare Commented May 13, 2015 at 6:04
- Hi Viswa, I am facing ame issue as I have complex table to display. I am trying your apporach, but in any case i get "TypeError : html2canvas is not a function" error. I have included this js and also it is available in document when i search it in console. Can you suggest something. Thanks in advance! – Coder Commented Apr 18, 2016 at 11:09
- @Bhagyashri are you sure that you are getting html2canvas function in the console and one more thing is that if browser can't find html2canvas it will throw "html2canvas is not defined", But you are getting TypeError. – Viswa Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 11:00
- I am sure that I get the html2canvas in console. and now I have this solved but "onrendered" is not being called. I don't have any error. So i have posted a question. – Coder Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 11:06
- can you please send your updated code facing similar issue – austin Commented Jun 15, 2020 at 12:44

Reset to default 7I was able to fix this by modifying line 6203 of jspdf.debug.js (on version 1.2.61) to this:
while (j < tableRow.cells.length && headers[j] != undefined) {
Which was originally:
while (j < tableRow.cells.length) {
Alternatively, I could make it go away by adding another td to the tr it was processing (it only had one td, which apparently caused the problem).
I'm thinking I'll try to submit it as a bug fix.
- Checkout the pdfmake Playground (It is supposed to work in the browser and is MIT-licensed.)
- Select TABLES in the top menu of the Playground.
- Scroll down the example pdf, there is a section illustrating Colspan-capabilities.
I stepped through the code using the chrome debugger, and it looks like jspdf is is having an issue with colspan in the first row of the table.
It seems like a bug in their library, where you can't use col span in the header or first row of each table.
Remove All the colspan Attribute And Rowspan Attribute From td Tag And Apply blank td then try.
