Pdfkit: How can I separate some content (break line) in my PDF with PDFKit and Express

[ramirezkevin]

Hi,

Im new programming with nodejs and Im tryin to create some PDF Documents from a Browser request.

The thing is I would like to have the three paragraphs in the same PDF separateley with a line break. But it semms my code just add a comma (,) between each paragraph... I have inspected the PDFKit module, and I couldnt find where this coma comes from. Can somebody help me?

pdfdocument.pdf

This is my code:

`
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const PDFDocument = require('pdfkit');

router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('pdf', {
        title: 'Steps',
        text: 'Express'
    });
});
router.post('/', function(req, res) {
var doc = new PDFDocument();

var filename = req.body.filename;

filename = encodeURIComponent(filename) + '.pdf';

res.setHeader('Content-disposition', 'attachment; filename="' + filename + '"');
res.setHeader('Content-type', 'application/pdf');

var content = [req.body.content];

for(i = 0; i < content.length; i++ ) {
    doc.y = 300;
    doc.text(content[i], 50, 50);
}
doc.pipe(res);
doc.end();
});
module.exports = router;

´

and this is the html:

HI, I think you have to add
doc.moveDown() Inside the loop for!

Like this:

for(i = 0; i < content.length; i++ ) {
    doc.y = 300;
    doc.text(content[i], 50, 50);
    doc.moveDown()
}

Hi, thanks for your answer. I try that method but it seems to be IntelliJ can not recognize that method and Im getting the same PDF as before.

Any ideas why? Im using WebStorm 2017.1

[ramirezkevin]

I´ve just resolve why Webstorm couldn´t recognize the mothod moveDown(), pdfkit was not in the file package.json in my project.

I tried again with this method, but I still get my paragraphs separated by a comma. I dont know if it a standard setting... Any suggestions?

Sorry, I can't help you with Webstorm, I don't use it!
