Flutter Quill to PDF

This package allow us create PDF's using Deltas from Quill.

Some options that can be configured:

• DeltaAttributesOptions (this attributes will be applied to whole delta)
• We can use custom fonts. Using onRequestFont functions in PDFConverter we can detect the font family detected, and use a custom implementation to return a Font valid to pdf package.
• CustomWidget, which helps you create custom PDF widgets using the Paragraph implementation from flutter_quill_delta_easy_parser.
• Optional front matter and back matter
• We can set a default directionality for the PDF widgets using textDirection from PDFConverter
• Page format using PDFPageFormat class
• PDFWidgetBuilder functions in PDFConverter that let us customize the detected style, and create a custom pdf widget implementation
• ThemeData optional theme data that let us changes the theme for to pdf document

By default, the delta is processed by a local implementation that uses DeltaAttributesOptions to apply custom attributes (if it is not null), making it easier to add an attribute to the entire delta. If you want to create your own implementation or simply use a default delta, use PDFConverter(...params).createDocument(shouldProcessDeltas: false).

Add dependencies

dependencies:
  flutter_quill_to_pdf: <lastest_version>

Import package

import 'package:flutter_quill_to_pdf/flutter_quill_to_pdf.dart':

Personalize the settings of the page (height, width and margins)

We can use two types differents constructors of the same PDFPageFormat class

The common, with all set params:

final PDFPageFormat pageFormat = PDFPageFormat(
   width: ..., //max width of the page
   height: ..., //max height of the page,
   marginTop: ...,
   marginBottom: ...,
   marginLeft: ...,
   marginRight: ...,
);

The factory to marginize all PDFPageFormat

final PDFPageFormat pageFormat = PDFPageFormat.all(
   width: ..., //max width of the page
   height: ..., //max height of the page,
   margin: ..., //will set the property to the others margins
);

Using PDFConverter to create finally our document

PDFConverter pdfConverter = PDFConverter(
    backMatterDelta: null,
    frontMatterDelta: null,
    textDirection: Directionality.of(context), // set a default Direction to your pdf widgets
    document: _quillController.document.toDelta(),
    pageFormat: pageFormat,
    fallbacks: [...your global fonts],
    onRequestBoldFont: (String fontFamily) async {
       ...your local font implementation
    },
    onRequestBoldItalicFont: (String fontFamily) async {
       ...your local font implementation
    },
    onRequestFallbackFont: (String fontFamily) async {
       ...your local font implementation
    },
    onRequestItalicFont: (String fontFamily) async {
       ...your local font implementation
    },
    onRequestFont: (String fontFamily) async {
       ...your local font implementation
    },
);

To create it, we have three options:

createDocument returns the PDF document associated

final pw.Document? document = await pdfConverter.createDocument();

createDocumentFile makes the same of the before one, write in the selected file path

// [isWeb] is used to know how save automatically the PDF generated
await pdfConverter.createDocumentFile(path: filepath, isWeb: kIsWeb,...other optional params);

generateWidget returns a Widget that gives to you full control of the PDF

import 'package:flutter_quill_to_pdf/flutter_quill_to_pdf.dart';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:pdf/pdf.dart';

// Generate a widget from the PDF converter
final pw.Widget? pwWidget = await pdfConverter.generateWidget(
    maxWidth: pwWidgetWidth,
    maxHeight: pwWidgetHeight,
);

// Create a new PDF document with specific settings
final pw.Document document = pw.Document(
    compress: true,
    verbose: true,
    pageMode: PdfPageMode.outlines,
    version: PdfVersion.pdf_1_5,
);

// Create A4 page without margins
final PdfPageFormat pdfPageFormat = PdfPageFormat(
    PDFPageFormat.a4.width, PDFPageFormat.a4.height,
    marginAll: 0);

// Add a page to the document with custom layout
document.addPage(
    pw.Page(
    pageFormat: pdfPageFormat,
    build: (pw.Context context) {
        return pw.Stack(children: [
        // Create a full-page blue background
        pw.Expanded(
            child: pw.Rectangle(
            fillColor: PdfColor.fromHex("#5AACFE"),
            ),
        ),
        // Position the editor content in the top-left corner
        pw.Positioned(
            top: PdfPageFormat.a4.marginTop,
            left: PdfPageFormat.a4.marginLeft,
            child: pwWidget!),
        // Position a copy of the editor content in the bottom-right corner
        pw.Positioned(
            bottom: PdfPageFormat.a4.marginBottom,
            right: PdfPageFormat.a4.marginRight,
            child: pwWidget!),
        ]);
    },
    ),
);
// Save the document to a file
await file.writeAsBytes(await document.save());
