I'm trying to apply some changes on jsPDF library to be able to justify text.
I'm having trouble to find the right value for Tw (word spacing).
In jspdf.js (L:1413) I have added this code:
if (align) {
...
else if (align === 'justify') {
left = x;
}
else {
throw new Error('Unrecognized alignment option, use "center" or "right".');
}
prevX = x;
text = '(' + da[0];
let pdfPageWidth = this.internal.pageSize.width;
let wordSpacing;
if( align === 'justify' ) {
let fontSize = this.internal.getFontSize();
let nWords = da[0].trim().split(/\s+/).length;
let textWidth = this.getStringUnitWidth(da[0].replace(/\s+/g, '')) / this.internal.scaleFactor;
wordSpacing = (Math.max(0, (pdfPageWidth - textWidth) / Math.max(1, nWords - 1));
wordSpacing += ' Tw\n';
text = wordSpacing + text;
}
...
}
The idea was to extract the space width by doing (pageWidth - textWidth) / numberOfWords -1. I can't get the correct word space.
Output example
BT
/F1 16 Tf
18.4 TL
0 g
28.35 756.85 Td
19.00357142857142 Tw

Is there an encoding problem?
Thanks for your help.
After many tries I have found the working code solution :D. It works also with array of text as param.
} else if (align === 'justify') {
left = x;
}
else {
throw new Error(
'Unrecognized alignment option, use "center" or "right".'
);
}
prevX = x;
text = '(' + da[0];
var pdfPageWidth = this.internal.pageSize.width;
var wordSpacing;
var fontSize = this.internal.getFontSize();
if( align === 'justify' ) {
var nWords = da[0].trim().split(/\s+/).length;
var textWidth = this.getStringUnitWidth(da[0]) * fontSize / k;
wordSpacing = (Math.max(0, ((pdfPageWidth - x - marginRight) - textWidth) / Math.max(1, nWords - 1))) * k;
// Do not justify if wordSpacing is too high
wordSpacing = ( wordSpacing > 50 ? 0 : wordSpacing ) + ' Tw\n';
text = wordSpacing + text;
}
for (var i = 1, len = da.length; i < len; i++) {
var delta = maxLineLength - lineWidths[i];
if (align === "center") delta /= 2;
if (align === "justify") { // TODO: improve code duplication
delta = 0;
var nWords = da[i].trim().split(/\s+/).length;
var textWidth = this.getStringUnitWidth(da[i]) * fontSize / k;
wordSpacing = (Math.max(0, ((pdfPageWidth - x - marginRight) - textWidth) / Math.max(1, nWords - 1))) * k;
// Do not justify if wordSpacing is too high
wordSpacing = ( wordSpacing > 50 ? 0 : wordSpacing ) + ' Tw\n';
text += ") Tj\n" + ((left - prevX) + delta) + " -" + leading + " Td\n" + wordSpacing + "(" + da[i];
} else {
// T* = x-offset leading Td ( text )
text += ") Tj\n" + ((left - prevX) + delta) + " -" + leading + " Td (" + da[i];
}
prevX = left + delta;
}
} else {
text = ' 0 Tw\n (' + da.join(") Tj\nT* (");
}
Here is my PR
