GetStarted

npm i hummus-recipe --save

Coordinate System

In order to make things easier, I use Left-Top as center [0,0] instead of Left-Bottom. You may write and edit the pdf like you write things on papers from the left top corner. It is similar to the Html Canvas

pdfDoc
    .text('start from here', 0, 0)
    .text('next line', 0, 20)
    .text('some other texts', 100, 100)
    ...

Create a new PDF

const HummusRecipe = require('hummus-recipe');
const pdfDoc = new HummusRecipe('new', '/output.pdf',{
    version: 1.6,
    author: 'John Doe',
    title: 'Hummus Recipe',
    subject: 'A brand new PDF'
});

pdfDoc
    .createPage('letter-size')
    .endPage()
    .endPDF();

const HummusRecipe = require('hummus-recipe');
const pdfDoc = new HummusRecipe('new', 'output.pdf');
pdfDoc
    // 1st Page
    .createPage('letter-size')
    .circle('center', 100, 30, { stroke: '#3b7721', fill: '#eee000' })
    .polygon([ [50, 250], [100, 200], [512, 200], [562, 250], [512, 300], [100, 300], [50, 250] ], {
        color: [153, 143, 32],
        stroke: [0, 0, 140],
        fill: [153, 143, 32],
        lineWidth: 5
    })
    .rectangle(240, 400, 50, 50, {
        stroke: '#3b7721',
        fill: '#eee000',
        lineWidth: 6,
        opacity: 0.3
    })
    .moveTo(200, 600)
    .lineTo('center', 650)
    .lineTo(412, 600)
    .text('Welcome to Hummus-Recipe', 'center', 250, {
        color: '066099',
        fontSize: 30,
        bold: true,
        font: 'Helvatica',
        align: 'center center',
        opacity: 0.8,
        rotation: 180
    })
    .text('some text box', 450, 400, {
        color: '066099',
        fontSize: 20,
        font: 'Courier New',
        strikeOut: true,
        highlight: {
            color: [255, 0, 0]
        },
        textBox: {
            width: 150,
            lineHeight: 16,
            padding: [5, 15],
            style: {
                lineWidth: 1,
                stroke: '#00ff00',
                fill: '#ff0000',
                dash: [20, 20],
                opacity: 0.1
            }
        }
    })
    .comment('Feel free to open issues to help us!', 'center', 100)
    .endPage()
    // 2nd page
    .createPage('A4', 90)
    .circle(150, 150, 300)
    .endPage()
    // end and save
    .endPDF(()=>{ /* done! */ });

Modify an existing PDF

const HummusRecipe = require('hummus-recipe');

    .editPage(1)
    .text('Add some texts to an existing pdf file', 150, 300)
    .rectangle(20, 20, 40, 100)
    .comment('Add 1st comment annotaion', 200, 300)
    .image('/path/to/image.jpg', {width: 300, keepAspectRatio: true})
    .endPage()
    // edit 2nd page
    .editPage(2)
    .comment('Add 2nd comment annotaion', 200, 100)
    .endPage()
    // end and save
    .endPDF();

Append PDF

const HummusRecipe = require('hummus-recipe');
const pdfDoc = new HummusRecipe('input.pdf', 'output.pdf');
const longPDF = '/longPDF.pdf';
pdfDoc
    // just page 10
    .appendPage(longPDF, 10)
    // page 4 and page 6
    .appendPage(longPDF, [4, 6])
    // page 1-3 and 6-20
    .appendPage(longPDF, [[1, 3], [6, 20]])
    // all pages
    .appendPage(longPDF)
    .endPDF();

Insert PDF

const HummusRecipe = require('hummus-recipe');
const pdfDoc = new HummusRecipe('input.pdf', 'output.pdf');

pdfDoc
