Add client-side PDF export to a web app using jspdf + html2canvas-pro. Use when the user asks to download, save, or export the current page, a report, a slide deck, a chart, or any DOM element as a PDF. Covers single-element snapshots and multi-page documents with TOC bookmarks. No server, no Puppeteer at runtime - all browser-side.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Add client-side PDF export

Wire a "Download PDF" feature into a React/TypeScript web app. The output is generated entirely in the browser - the user clicks a button, the SPA rasterizes the relevant DOM nodes, and `jspdf` assembles the PDF and triggers a download.

## When to trigger this skill

- "Add a download PDF button..."
- "Let users export this report / slide / dashboard / chart as a PDF"
- "Save the current page as PDF"
- "Print this to a file"
- "We need PDF export"
- Any time a developer asks for browser-native PDF generation (no server, no Puppeteer)

Do **not** use this skill if the user wants:

- Server-rendered PDFs (use Puppeteer / Playwright on a server)
- Vector PDFs from data structures (use `pdfkit` or `pdfmake`)
- "Print this page" with `window.print()` (that's a one-liner; just suggest it)

## Step 1: Clarify the scope

Before writing code, ask the user 2 short questions if any of these are unclear:

1. **Single element or multi-page?**
   - One DOM element (a report, a card, a chart) -> Pattern A
   - A sequence of slides / pages / sections -> Pattern B

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add d-padmanabhan/agent-engineering-handbook/pdf-export@sha256:5c9fd079afb2c587

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260523.a0d8894, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
