Could you please try for having an image in pdf ?

As of now, I'm using a different bootstrap than yours. I'll also try by mentioning ur bootstrap for jspdf.js

Image in a pdf works, http://jsbin.com/cicoh/2/edit

in that case, how can we convert normal image to data url programmatically?

check the snippet, JS Bin - Collaborative JavaScript Debugging</title> <link rel="icon" href="h...

This coverts image to data-uri. But execute it in firefox or chrome with --disable-web-security flag as there is an issue with cross domain.

Here is my code

var myImg=new Image();

  myImg.src=arrData['employee'][1]['Image'];

  myImg.crossOrigin ="Anonymous";

   var imgData = this.getBase64Image(myImg);

   var doc = new jsPDF();

   doc.setFontSize(40);

   doc.text(35, 25, "Test Image");

   doc.addImage(myImg, 'JPEG', 15, 40, 180, 160);

   doc.save("sample1.pdf");

I'm receiving the following error at 'addImage' function.

Uncaught Error: getJpegSize could not find the size of the image

Could you please help in pointing out where am I going wrong.

Thank You

If the image is already in the document (i.e. in the html page) then, your code is working perfect. But, it is giving me that error if I'm creating a image in the script.

How about specifying the width & height for the Image.

myImg.style.width= '200px';
myImg.style.height= '200px';
