Building True Vector PDF Export in the Browser with fabric.js
YFT Design Pro has developed a client-side PDF export pipeline using Fabric.js and Vue 3 that allows for true vector PDF generation in the browser. This system overcomes limitations of traditional bitmap-based PDF exports, providing features like text-to-path conversion and CMYK output. The article details the architecture and engineering challenges faced during the development of this export functionality.
- ▪Most browser-based design editors export PDFs as bitmaps, which are unsuitable for print-ready outputs.
- ▪YFT Design Pro's pipeline supports vector PDF exports with features like multi-page documents and asynchronous export.
- ▪The export process is divided into raster and vector paths, allowing users to choose based on their needs.
