You should set the height to auto and then once image generated set the height to your preferred height. So you can capture the whole content.

Add this document.getElementById("content").style.height="auto"; line after getting the offsetWidth and offsetHeight.

And add this document.getElementById("content").style.height="100px"; line after the html2canvas finished.

$(document).ready(function() {
     $('#print').click(function() {
     var currentPosition = document.getElementById("content").scrollTop;
      var w = document.getElementById("content").offsetWidth;
      var h = document.getElementById("content").offsetHeight;
     document.getElementById("content").style.height="auto";

      html2canvas(document.getElementById("content"), {

        dpi: 300, // Set to 300 DPI
        scale: 3, // Adjusts your resolution
        onrendered: function(canvas) {
          var img = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1);
          var doc = new jsPDF('L', 'px', [w, h]);
          doc.addImage(img, 'JPEG', 0, 0, w, h);
          doc.addPage();
          doc.save('sample-file.pdf');
        }
      });
     document.getElementById("content").style.height="100px";
     document.getElementById("content").scrollTop = currentPosition;
    });

});

If it doesnt download on above snippet, you can test it here

Update 1

Add p tag on each page jsfiddle

The context.scale(horizontalRescale,verticalRescale) mand will shrink every following drawing by your specified horizontalRescale & verticalRescale percentages.

Make horizontalRescale and verticalRescale same value

var downscaleFactor= 0.70;

context.scale( downscaleFactor, downscaleFactor );

This code will shrink node to 70% of original Size.

I hope this will answer your question
