Generating a pdf preview of a (large) table defined in a Tiddler

[Ghislain SILLAUME]

Dear all,

I have a large table that I would like to print in A3 with clean page breaks (repeating the headers).

Since it's possible to integrate pdf in TW5, I'm wondering if it will be possible to use a pdf javascript library (I'm considering jsPdf and the plugin jsPdf-Autotable) for generating the pdf.

Do you think it's possible? Using a macro or a plugin? What would be the best approach?

Thank you very much for your help.

It is almost certainly possible. Making a plugin that lets you create pdfs in tiddlywiki has been on my to-do list for a long time now for the resume edition but I doubt I will get to it any time soon. The jsPdf library was the most appropriate library I had looked at but I haven't had a chance to try integrating it with tiddlywiki yet.

All I can say without looking at the library more is that a making a plugin is probably the best approach. Aside from that it depends on the library you use.

Thanks for your answer. So let's give it a try!

I will put updates (and probably other questions) on this list...
