eLabSDK.Export.PDF

render()

Generate and download the PDF file.

This submits the PDF generation request to the server with the configured HTML content and
filename. The PDF is generated server-side and automatically downloaded to the user's browser.
After submission, the temporary form is removed from the DOM. Call this method after creating
an eLabSDK.Export.PDF instance to trigger the actual PDF creation and download.

Kind: global function

// Generate a simple PDF
eLabSDK.ready(function() {
  var exportPDF = new eLabSDK.Export.PDF({
    name: 'MyReport.pdf',
    contents: '<h1>My Report</h1><p>This is the content of my report.</p>'
  });
  
  exportPDF.render(); // Triggers PDF generation and download
});

        html += '<td>' + $(this).text() + '</td>';
      });
      html += '</tr>';
    });
