my problem is as follows; I have a web application created with NodeJS that shows a form where users add data that will include a PDF document created with PDFKit, by clicking on the submit button the form is created and the document remains on the side from the server, the code is as follows:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
router.post('/pagar',function(req,res){
var nombre = req.body.nombre;
var apellidoPaterno = req.body.apellidoPaterno;
var apellidoMaterno = req.body.apellidoMaterno;
var fs = require('fs');
var PDFDocument = require('pdfkit');
var pdf = new PDFDocument({
//size: 'LEGAL',
layout: 'landscape',
size: [210, 210],
margin: 5,
info: {
Title: 'Recibo de agua potable',
Author: 'Comite de agua potable 2018',
}
});
// Write stuff into PDF
pdf.moveDown()
.fillColor('black')
.fontSize(7)
.text('EJEMPLO DE DOCUMENTO PDF', {
align: 'center',
indent: 2,
height: 2,
ellipsis: true
});
pdf.moveDown()
.fillColor('black')
.fontSize(7)
.text('NOMBRE DE PERSONAS DESDE FORMULARIO', {
align: 'center',
indent: 2,
height: 2,
ellipsis: true
});
pdf.moveDown()
.fillColor('black')
.fontSize(8)
.text('NOMBRE: '+nombre+' '+ apellidoPaterno +' '+ apellidoMaterno , {
align: 'left',
indent: 2,
height: 2,
ellipsis: true
});
// Stream contents to a file
pdf.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(nombre+"_"+apellidoPaterno+"_"+apellidoMaterno+'.pdf')).on('finish', function () {
console.log('Archivo creado satisfactoriamente ....');
});
pdf.end();
});
module.exports = router;However, I would like the PDF document to be sent to the client so that it can be printed since when entering the web application (from a client machine) and adding the data to the form it is created but on the server side.
I wish I could help.
