wkhtmltopdf - 将AJAX创建的SVG转换为PDF

Question

I am working on an application that converts HTML and SVG charts, generated with d3.js, to PDF. The charts are rendered through AJAX calls after the page loads.

I am working with wkhtmltopdf 0.9.6 which seems to do a great job converting static HTML5 to PDF, but I am having problems converting the SVG charts.

When rendering a simple multi series line chart, most of the chart area is not rendered. Even after disabling animations. Using the --redirect-delay doesn't help even when set to 8000.

What's interesting is that most that parts of the chart are rendered, like the legend and axis. Just not the content.

Anyone else encountered this or a similar problem?

Thank you.

Answer 1

add last page this script:

function sleep(milliSeconds) {
    var startTime = new Date().getTime(); // get the current time
    while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + milliSeconds); // hog cpu
}

sleep(5000);

And: --redirect-delay -> 5000

Use library d3.js no compress other js.
