html2canvas - Image in PDF cut off: How to make a canvas fit entirely in a PDF page?

Question

When placing the canvas in the PDF using the jspdf library makes the image cut off.

html2canvas(myContainer, {background: 'red'}).then (canvas) ->
  imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 1.0)
  window.open(imgData) # this is just a test that opens the image in a new tab and it displays nicely, the entire image
  pdf = new jsPDF("l", "pt", "b1") # tried a variety of formats but no luck
  pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 0, 0)
  pdf.save('file.pdf') # the generated pdf that contains the image gets trimmed

Does anyone have any ideas how to make the canvas fit?

Answer 1

Try setting the width and height of the image as well (in any case, there is little documentation for addImage it seems):

var pdf = new jsPDF("l", "mm", "a4");
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 1.0);

// due to lack of documentation; try setting w/h based on unit
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 10, 10, 180, 150);  // 180x150 mm @ (10,10)mm
