A good approach is to use a combination of jspdf.js and html2canvas.



<canvas id="canvas" width="480" height="320"></canvas> 
<button id="download">Download Pdf</button>





html2canvas($("#canvas"), { onrendered: function(canvas) {         
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png');
var doc = new jsPDF('p', 'mm');
doc.addImage(imgData, 'PNG', 10, 10);
doc.save('sample-file.pdf');
}
});


jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/p4s5k59s/1222/



Tested in Google Chrome 38, IE11 and Firefox 34.

For Safari you might need to change the image format from PNG to JPEG.

    @Blizzard, that is the perfect example. Simple, actuated by a button, easy to understand. (Why isn't that top of the examples at github for jspdf?) Easily displayed in jsfiddle. Many thanks.
