Error when converting HTML string to PDF

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to generate a PDF from a simple HTML string:

doc.html('<html>Hello <b>world</b></html>', {
	callback: function (doc) {
		doc.save();
	},
	x: 10,
	y: 10
});

But I got the following error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to execute 'createNodeIterator' on 'Document': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.

I’m using following libraries:

jspdf 2.3.1
html2canvas 0.4.1
dompurify 2.3.0

@bendsito Did you ever resolve this issue for yourself? I’m seeing the same error.

Unfortunately I didn’t. There seems to be some compatibility issues with the Salesforce framework (which I was using).

@bendsito I’m trying to do the same thing on Salesforce and getting the same error. Did you find a workaround?

I didn’t…

It doesn’t seem possible to use this functionality on Salesforce, according to this recent post: https://salesforcecodex.com/salesforce/generate-pdf-using-jspdf-in-lightning-web-component/amp/
