<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html2canvas/0.4.1/html2canvas.min.js"></script>

In example above I use jspdf.debug.js and html2canvas.min.js to export div container to PDF file. After file is generated I noticed that pdf looks blurry. I'm wondering how I can fix that? Is there a way to make the pdf look like the original html?

@Weft I was able to get this to work with html2canvas. Here is example: `var pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4'); pdf.addHTML($('.pg-section').get(0), function () { pdf.save('Test.pdf'); });` The one problem I have noticed that pdf file looks blurry. Is there a way to clear the quality of the pdf? — espresso_coffee, Dec 21 '18 at 17:03
Maybe try adjusting the scale or width and height options : https://html2canvas.hertzen.com/configuration — Neil VanLandingham, Dec 21 '18 at 18:26

I had the same problem using addHtml. Turns out, addHtml is deprecated according to jsPDF's documentation. I ended up just following the link they provided and using pdf.html(). Here is the code that I used to send the converted pdf as an email attachment. You can just use pdf.save() in your case. P.S. I used html2canvas 1.0.0-alpha.12

function emailHtml() {
    let pdf = new jsPDF('p', 'pt', 'a4');
    pdf.html(document.body, {
        callback: function (pdf) {
            let obj = {};
            obj.pdfContent = pdf.output('datauristring');
            var jsonData = JSON.stringify(obj);
            $.ajax({
                url: '/api/jspdf/html2pdf',
                type: 'POST',
                contentType: 'application/json',
                data: jsonData
            });
        }
    });
}
