Using JavaScript to create a PDF file of the current web page

Question

I want the user to click a 'View PDF' or 'Download PDF' button on the current web page, which would do nothing but execute JavaScript code that generates a PDF out the current page's look.

I tried jspdf but it did not work out at all, so what are my options?

Possible duplicate of this, this, this, or this.

your other option is to use http://parall.ax/products/jspdf#

but believe me you will end up creating your PDF file in the server side

like itextSharp for C#.NET or VB.NET or what ever is equivalent for PHP
