To export an iframe to PDF, you can use a library or tool that supports exporting the content of an iframe to PDF. One option is to use jsPDF, a popular JavaScript library that allows you to generate PDF files on the client side.


Here is a basic example of how you can use jsPDF to export the content of an iframe to PDF:

  1. First, include the jsPDF library in your HTML file:
1
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/2.4.0/jspdf.umd.min.js"></script>


  1. Next, create a function that gets the content of the iframe and generates a PDF file:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
<button onclick="exportToPDF()">Export to PDF</button>

<script>
function exportToPDF() {
    var iframe = document.getElementById('your-iframe-id');
    var iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;

    var pdf = new jsPDF();
    pdf.text(10, 10, iframeDoc.documentElement.innerHTML);
    pdf.save('iframe_content.pdf');
}
</script>


  1. Replace 'your-iframe-id' with the id of your iframe element.
  2. When you click the "Export to PDF" button, it will generate a PDF file containing the content of the iframe.


Note: Keep in mind that some websites may have restrictions on accessing the content of iframes due to security reasons. Make sure you have permission to export the content of the iframe before proceeding.
