Convert a form into PDF with the input fields

I have managed to convert my HTML document into PDF using the jsPDF library by MrRio. the problem is my content is a form. The pdf file shows the field names but I am unable to get their input.
<div id="editor">
<form id="content" class="text-center border border-light p-5" action="" method="POST">
<!-- Full Name -->
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Full Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputFullName" placeholder="Full Name" required>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Adress -->
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Adress</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputAdress" placeholder="Adress" required>
</div>
</div>
<!-- E-mail -->
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email" required>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Password -->
<div class="form-group row">
<label class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password" required>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Here is the javascript code:
$(function () {
var specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function (element,renderer) {
return true;
}
};
$('#cmd').click(function () {
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.fromHTML(
$('#content').html(), 15, 15,
{ 'width': 170, 'elementHandlers': specialElementHandlers },
function(){ doc.save('sample-file.pdf'); }
);
});
I need to get the form with the user input.
I have tried the HTML to canvas and then to pdf and then I tried this. Apparently, there are limitations to the implementation of this method as it doesn't support many elements or classes. If anyone could provide insights or useful help.

You can do that by querying the values introduced by the user either by using jquery or pure javascript.
This is a snippet of the solution:
<button id="cmd" class="btn btn-info my-4 btn-block" type="submit" onclick=" $(function () {
var doc = new jsPDF()
doc.text('Full Name: \t\t\t'+document.querySelector(`#inputFullName`).value, 10, 10)
doc.text('Adresse: \t\t\t'+document.querySelector(`#inputAdress`).value, 10, 20)
//here do the same for the rest of your inputs
doc.save('a4.pdf')
});">Send</button>
<button class="btn btn-info my-4 btn-block" type="reset">Reset</button>

JQuery: need to hide div if input file is empty

I need to hide a div for aditional coments if the input file is empty.
I don't mind if it's done with Jquery or plain Javascript.
I've used JQuery, I know that it's been called correctly because my alert pops up, but my function does not hide the div with ID: #instrucciones-adicionales and all its contents.
HTML:
<script>
alert( "Animation complete." );
$(function () {
$("input:file").change(function () {
var fileName = $(this).val();
if (filename != "") {
$("#instrucciones-adicionales").hide();
} //show the button
});
});
</script>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="Ka5bun8eHCmm5pReR7M9JCOxP8YxVq1sBfi79yqnXFEFWEksDE8WSDfgiYxf2KDb">
<div class="form-group">
<div id="div_id_imagenes" class="form-group">
<label for="id_imagenes" class="col-form-label requiredField">
Imagenes<span class="asteriskField">*</span>
</label>
<div class="">
<input type="file" name="imagenes" class="clearablefileinput" required id="id_imagenes">
</div>
</div>
<div id="instrucciones-adicionales">
<p class="bold-font"> Instrucciones adicionales (opcional):</p>
<div id="div_id_instrucciones" class="form-group">
<label for="id_instrucciones" class="col-form-label requiredField">
Instrucciones<span class="asteriskField">*</span>
</label>
<div class="">
<textarea name="instrucciones" cols="40" rows="10" class="textarea form-control" required id="id_instrucciones">

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-naranja text-white btn-block">Continuar
</button>

You had a typo (variables are case sensitive - fileName !== filename).
I added the show part:
alert( "Animation complete." );
$(function () {
$("input:file").change(function () {
var fileName = $(this).val();
if (fileName != "") {
$("#instrucciones-adicionales").hide();
} else {
$("#instrucciones-adicionales").show();
}
});
});

Form validation with multiple highlighted fields

I have a registration form that I would like to have multiple field validation. What I mean by this is if more than one field is not filled in it will be highlighted red. I have some code already written but instead of highlighting the field not filled in, it's highlighting all of them. I realise it is quite long winded but I'm fairly new to this. My JS code is as follows:
`function formCheck() {
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn2").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn3").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn4").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn5").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn6").value;
var val = document.getElementById("fillMeIn7").value;
if (val == "") {
alert("Please fill in the missing fields");
document.getElementById("fillMeIn").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn2").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn3").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn4").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn5").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn6").style.borderColor = "red";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn7").style.borderColor = "red";
return false;
}
else {
document.getElementById("fillMeIn").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn2").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn3").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn4").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn5").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn6").style.borderColor = "green";
document.getElementById("fillMeIn7").style.borderColor = "green";
}
}`
My HTML is as follows:
'<form id="mbrForm" onsubmit="return formCheck();" action="thanks.html" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-4 vertical-gap">

Thanks!

You could have the ids in an Array, iterate through its values, and execute the repeatable code in a function that groups all the logic inside.
example :
["fillMeIn1", "fillMeIn2", "fillMeIn3", "fillMeIn4"].each(function(id){
// do things with id
})

Why not use the html "required" property instead?
If you want to do this with JS, you should give each variable a different name. In the code you posted you are continuously overwriting the same variable, and then, it evaluates val (which ended up being assigned to the (fill me7 value) to "", and if true, setting all the borders to red.
Set different variables, push the input values into an array when submit is triggered and loop through them if variables[i]==0, set getElementId(switch case[i] or another array with the name of the inputs[i]).bordercolor to red.
AGAIN, this sound VERY INEFFICIENT and I am not sure at all it would work. My guess is that it would take A LOT of time, and probably get timed out (except you are using some asych/try-catch kind of JS).
I would simply go for an HTML required property and then override the "required" property in CSS to make it look as you intend to. Simpler, easy and clean.

The main issue in your code is that you override the variable val each time you wrote var val = ....
Keeping your own your logic, you could write something like that.
var formModule = (function () {
var $fields = [
document.getElementById('fillMeIn'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn2'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn3'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn4'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn5'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn6'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn7')
];
function markInvalid($field) {
$field.style.borderColor = 'red';
}
function markValid($field) {
$field.style.borderColor = 'green';
}
return {
check: function () {
var isValid = true;
$fields.forEach(function ($f) {
if ($f.value === '') {
if (isValid) alert('Please fill in the missing fields');
isValid = false;
markInvalid($f);
}
else markValid($f);
});
return isValid;
}
};
})();
There are some extra concepts in this example which may be useful:
Working with the DOM is really slow, that's why you should
put your elements in a variable once for all and not everytime you
click on the submit button.
In my example i wrap the code with var formModule = (function () {...})();.
It's called module pattern. The goal is to prevent variables to leak in the rest of the application.
A better solution could be this one using the 'power' of html form validation:
HTML:
<form id="mbrForm" action="thanks.html" method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-4 vertical-gap">
FIRST NAME:
<input id="fillMeIn" type="text" required class="form-control" placeholder="First Name">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 vertical-gap">

<input id="fillMeIn2" type="text" required class="form-control" placeholder="Last Name">

</form>
JS:
var formModule = (function () {
var $form = document.getElementById('mbrForm');
var $btn = document.getElementById('btnSubmit');
var $fields = [
document.getElementById('fillMeIn'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn2'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn3'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn4'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn5'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn6'),
document.getElementById('fillMeIn7')
];
checkValidation();
$form.addEventListener('change', checkValidation);
$form.addEventListener('keyup', checkValidation);
$fields.forEach(function ($f) {
$f.addEventListener('change', function () {
markInput($f, $f.checkValidity());
});
});
function checkValidation() {
$btn.disabled = !$form.checkValidity();
}
function markInput($field, isValid) {
$field.style.borderColor = isValid ? 'green' : 'red';
}
})();
In this example, the button gets disabled until the form is valid and inputs are validated whenever they are changed.
I added required attribute in HTML inputs so they can be handled by native javascript function checkValidity(). Note that in this case inputs email and number are also correctly checked. You could also use attribute pattern to get a more powerfull validation:
<input type="text" pattern="-?[0-9]*(\.[0-9]+)?">
Hope it helps.

How to make a second submit button?

I have a classic form that submits data to a controller. Nothing special until here.
The thing is I want a second button, let's say "Save and Exit" that I want to also submit and redirect to home page.
How could I do that? I guess this includes a little javascript for checking?
I just can't wrap my head around it. Thank you!
<form method="POST" action="link/here" id="main_form" class="form-horizontal">

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Salveaza</button>
</div>
<div class="pull-left">
Inapoi
</div>
</div>
<!-- /.box-body -->
</form>

your current button :
<button type="submit" name="check" value="0" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
add a new one:
<button type="submit" name="check" value="1" class="btn btn-success">Save and Exit</button>
then in your save.php do:
if($_POST['check'] == 0){
//redirect to page
}
else{
//redirect to home
}

Give each button a name and a value. In your controller (client-side JS is the wrong tool for this), test the name and then redirect based on that.
For example:
<button name="action" value="save">Save</button>
<button name="action" value="save_and_go_home">Save & Go Home</button>
And then (to use expressjs as an example):
app.post('/here', function (req, res) {
// Do everything else you want to do with the data
// Then
var action = req.body.action;
if (action === "save_and_go_home") {
res.redirect("/");
} else {
res.send('Whatever you were sending before')
}
});

How to check validation on fields , selected values can not be same?

I have to check validation on two fields with ng-change. The selected values cannot be same so i have implemented below logic but this function is not even being called. Its been hours and i cannot figure out what i am doing wrong. Please check if logic is being implemented correctly.
So far tried code....
main.html
<div class="panel-body">
<form name="addAttesForm" id="addAttesForm" novalidate k-validate-on-blur="false">
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="roleType" class="col-md-4">Role Type:</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<select
kendo-drop-down-list
data-text-field="'text'"
data-value-field="'id'" name="roleType"
k-option-label="'Select'"
k-data-source="roleTypeDataSource"
ng-model="attestorDTO.riskAssessmentRoleTypeKey"
id="roleType">
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="attestorWorker" class="col-md-4">Attestor:</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="attestorWorker" required
ng-model="attestorDTO.attestorWorker" name="attestorWorker"
ng-change="validateProxy('attestorWorker','proxyWorker')"
ng-model-options="{updateOn: 'blur'}"
ng-click="openAttestorSearch()" readonly="readonly"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="proxyWorker" class="col-md-4">Proxy :</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="proxyWorker" required
ng-model="attestorDTO.proxyWorker" name="proxyWorker"
ng-model-options="{updateOn: 'blur'}"
ng-click="openProxySearch()" ng-disabled="!attestorDTO.attestorWorker" ng-change="validateProxy('attestorWorker','proxyWorker')" readonly="readonly"/>
<p class="text-danger" ng-show="addAttesForm.proxyWorker.$error.dateRange">Attestor and Proxy can not be same</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<button class="btn btn-primary pull-right" type="button" ng-disabled="addAttesForm.$invalid" ng-click="saveAttestor()">Add attestor</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
main.js
$scope.validateProxy = function(startField, endField) {
console.log("calling validation...");
var isValid = ($scope.attestorDTO[startField]) <= ($scope.attestorDTO[endField]);
$scope.addAttesForm[endField].$setValidity('dateRange',isValid);
$scope.addAttesForm.$setValidity('dateRange',isValid);
};

Remove the readonly attribute. ng-change will not fire on the readonly input elements and the model should be changed via the UI not by the javascript code.
Try like this:
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="attestorWorker" required
ng-model="attestorDTO.attestorWorker" name="attestorWorker"
ng-change="validateProxy('attestorWorker','proxyWorker')"
ng-model-options="{updateOn: 'blur'}"
ng-click="openAttestorSearch()" />
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="proxyWorker" required
ng-model="attestorDTO.proxyWorker" name="proxyWorker"
ng-model-options="{updateOn: 'blur'}"
ng-click="openProxySearch()" ng-disabled="!attestorDTO.attestorWorker" ng-change="validateProxy('attestorWorker','proxyWorker')" />
