How can I make PDF files in a Unity WebGL build?

Question

I am in the process of making a Unity WebGL App and I would like the user to be able to download a status report which pulls-in info from the app. So far I have tested SharpPDF with which i am able to generate a pdf in the editor and standalone builds but not in the webGL build.

Any ideas Thanks

You could make a jslib and use something like pdfkit.

I'll add that the reason why most of the c# pdf generators you'll find online won't work is because they take a dependency on either GDI or WPF, which are both windows specific. – Leo Bartkus Nov 16 '18 at 14:13
