I'm using Google App Script and I want to convert the contents of a div in a pdf file. I'm trying:

function genPdf(html) { var blob = Utilities.newBlob(html, "text/html", "text.html"); var pdf = blob.getAs("application/pdf"); DriveApp.createFile(pdf).setName("text.pdf"); }

The 'html' parameter of the function is passed with a

$('#container').html()

The problem is when I get the html of the div with the Jquery's html() function, it returns me the html without the CSS styles and/or images.

I need to generate a PDF with exactly the same content of the div.

Any suggestions?

    This question isn't very clear, so you'll probably find it gets closed as a duplicate to Generate pdf from HTML in div using Javascript, Download a div in a HTML page as pdf using javascript or something similar. It seems that you want to save a PDF to your Google Drive, with the complete contents of a div from a page served by Google Apps Script's HtmlService. Commented Jul 6, 2015 at 12:39

the inline css will work when html is retrieved from jquery but the html view cannot be same in the pdf also. I had problems with alignment of the tables in pdf format.
