PDF Creation

The Docutain SDK for Capacitor comes with the ability to create searchable PDF documents either from a scanned document with Docutain's Scanner SDK or imported file.

Initialization​

Initialize the Docutain Capacitor SDK as described here.

Create a PDF​

import { DocutainSDK } from '@docutain/capacitor-plugin-docutain-sdk'

//...
//scan or import file
//...

const destinationPath "TestPDF.PDF";
const pdfFile = await DocutainSDK.writePDF(destinationPath,true,"A4");
if(pdfFile != null)
{
    //do something with the generated pdf file
} 
else
{
    //error occured
    const error = await DocutainSDK.getLastError();
}
tip

You can specify to overwrite an existing file and the PDF page format by providing the appropriate value

//writePDF(filePath: string, overWrite: boolean, PDF_PageFormat: PDFPageFormat): Promise<string>;

const pdfFile = await DocutainSDK.writePDF(destinationPath,true,"A4");
