[SOLVED] Custom PDF with PDFmake.js not based on any page in Designer

Hi at all,

I would like to have button creating PDFs not based on any page in Designer.

As far as I can see, the PDF API doesn´t give me this option.

I tried calling the PDFMake-version from PHPrunner with no success.

Downloading the standard PDFMake version and integrating it via the footer file worked:

In the footer file I have:

<?php
echo "
<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8' src='include/pdfmake/pdfmake.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8' src='include/pdfmake/vfs_fonts.js'></script>
...

And then a custom Button generating a nice PDF with headers and footers.

var dd = {
  // a string or { width: number, height: number }
  pageSize: 'A4',

  // by default we use portrait, you can change it to landscape if you wish
  pageOrientation: 'portrait',

  // [left, top, right, bottom] or [horizontal, vertical] or just a number for equal margins
  pageMargins: [ 57, 156, 57, 100 ],
  
    defaultStyle: {
    fontSize: 12,
    alignment: 'left',
    lineHeight: 1.2
  },
  
   header: 
   { text: 'Company', alignment: 'center', margin: [57,14,0,0]  },

  footer: {
    columns: [
      { stack: ['Company','teststr. 9', '99999 dudelhaus',' ','Deutschland'], width: 'auto', alignment: 'left', margin: [57,0,0,0] },
      { stack: ['Web: www.dudelhaus.de','Mail: info@dudelhaus.de', 'Tel.: 0342347324234'],  width: 'auto', alignment: 'left', margin: [0,0,0,0] },
      { stack: ['Bankverbindung','Bank', 'IBAN', 'BIC'],  width: 'auto', alignment: 'left', margin: [0,0,0,0] },      
      { stack: ['Handelsregister','Stadt', 'Registernr', 'Geschäftsführer'],  width: 'auto', alignment: 'left', margin: [0,0,57,0] },
    ],
	 margin: [0, 26, 57, 20],	
    columnGap: 10,
    fontSize: 9
  },

	content: [
		{ text: ' Absenderzeile', fontSize: 8},
		{ stack: ['Anschrift1','Vorname Nachname', 'Strasse', ' ', 'PLZ Ort',' ',' ']},
		{ text: 'Betreff', bold: 'true' },
		{ text: 'Dudelhaus, den 28.2.2020', alignment: 'right' },	
		{ text: ' '},

	]
	
}

pdfMake.createPdf(dd).open();

Since I don´t really like to have two PDFmake-versions in my output, questions are:

- how could I use the built-in PDFmake version for custom PDFs not based on pages?
or
- why doesn´t it work with the built-in version?

If there is no way currently, then this would be a feature wish: Ability to handle custom-coded document descriptions for PDF generation via the PDF API.
