let jspdf = document.createElement("script");
 
jspdf.onload = function () {
 
    let pdf = new jsPDF();
    let elements = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
    for (let i in elements) {
        let img = elements[i];
        console.log("add img ", img);
        if (!/^blob:/.test(img.src)) {
            console.log("invalid src");
            continue;
        }
        let can = document.createElement('canvas');
        let con = can.getContext("2d");
        can.width = img.width;
        can.height = img.height;
        con.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
        let imgData = can.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1.0);
        pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 0, 0);
        pdf.addPage();
    }
 
    pdf.save("download.pdf");
};

document.body.appendChild(jspdf); 

@kmiharu09 - of all the methods I tried, the following was the one that worked. Just use the below chrome extension and set the time delay for screenshot for every page to 1000ms, to provide sufficient time for the page to load completely. Good luck!

this one worked for me

but i had to clear cookies and cache and use firefox. I also zoomed to 120% on pdf. It worked. The pdf was almost 1600 pages.

Thanks for sharing.

It is awesome solution!
While i was using this script I noticed that pdf provided is low resolution,I come up with new script to save high quality
images of each page

(function() {
   let elements = document.getElementsByTagName("img");

   for (let i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
       let img = elements[i];
       console.log("Processing img ", img);

       // Create a canvas to draw the image
       let can = document.createElement('canvas');
       let con = can.getContext("2d");
       can.width = img.width;
       can.height = img.height;
       con.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
       let imgData = can.toDataURL("image/png");

       // Create a download link
       let link = document.createElement('a');
       link.href = imgData;
       link.download = `image_${i + 1}.png`;
       document.body.appendChild(link);
       link.click();
       document.body.removeChild(link);

       console.log(`Image ${i + 1} downloaded`);
   }
})();

let trustedURL;
if (window.trustedTypes && trustedTypes.createPolicy) {
const policy = trustedTypes.createPolicy('myPolicy', {
createScriptURL: (input) => {
return input;
}
});
trustedURL = policy.createScriptURL('https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js');
} else {
trustedURL = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jspdf/1.3.2/jspdf.min.js';
}

// Load the jsPDF library using the trusted URL.
let jspdf = document.createElement("script");
jspdf.onload = function () {
// Generate a PDF from images with "blob:" sources.
let pdf = new jsPDF();
let elements = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
for (let i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
let img = elements[i];
if (!/^blob:/.test(img.src)) {
continue;
}
let canvasElement = document.createElement('canvas');
let con = canvasElement.getContext("2d");
canvasElement.width = img.width;
canvasElement.height = img.height;
con.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
let imgData = canvasElement.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 1.0);
pdf.addImage(imgData, 'JPEG', 0, 0);
if (i !== elements.length - 1) {
pdf.addPage();
}
}

// Download the generated PDF.
pdf.save("download.pdf");

};
jspdf.src = trustedURL;
document.body.appendChild(jspdf);

This actually works!

Its missing pages why?

Скрипт прикольный, но если в PDF присутствуют ссылки, то они не доступны!
