Jspdf: [Draft] Release Notes for jsPDF 1.4.0

[Uzlopak]

The jsPDF-Developer-Team proudly presents jsPDF 1.4.0

The three main aspects of this release were UTF-8-support, increased NodeJS/AngularJS/WebPack-support and stabilizing jsPDF by fixing bugs.

jsPDF supports finally UTF-8 by having the ability to use custom fonts. We want to thank here especially to contributor @sphilee, who programmed the TTFFont.js library file, which is the core of this great feature. Because of the specialties of the arabic-writing-system we have a separate plugin for that writing system.

In the light of the increased amount of reported issues by nodeJS/angularJS/WebPack-users we focused in this build on increased compatibility with nodeJS and other third-party-software. We hope that those changes will solve the reported issues to your sufficiency.

A lot of bugfixes were applied to the core and the addimage.js-plugin.

• Now API.text is supporting rotation, multiline, right, center and justify alignment to a satisfying level.
• addimage.js now recognizes images by the magic headers. The PNG-Engine now supports Interlace-mode and CMYK.
• acroform.js got refactored and works now in Internet Explorer 11, too
• and many many small bugfixes here and there

@arasabbasi your utf-8 basic example does not work.
Pulled the latest changes and basic.html does not work. Also created a test app with all plugins/libs included and still couldn't get it to work.

To All

Please... it is not released yet and you are already committing issues. On the one hand it is good to have some feedback before we release some bugged version. But on the other hand it has to be more than "doesnt" work.
Please open separate issues so that i can handle them properly

Thanks.

Hi, I am new to this and was wondering if and where I can get version 1,4,0 with custom font support.

For some reason I can only use jsPDF when I include it with:

or

which are versions 1.3.5 that with no custom font support as far as I know.

Downloading it on a dist folder and including it soesnt work for me, thats why I cant use the custom-fonts plugin.

Any news on the release?

Thanks

Hello,
sorry for the delay. I was very busy with getting a job, getting divorced (WiP), doing some political stuff and defending my freedom of speech. It was very busy. ;).

But yeah, lets see.
