## What it is
dompdf.js is a pure-frontend DOM-to-PDF engine built with Rust, WebAssembly, and TypeScript that renders vector PDFs directly in the browser without jsPDF or a server. It supports pagination for long documents, selectable text, custom font embedding, headers/footers, compression, and encryption.

## Use cases
- convert html to pdf in the browser
- generate multi-page pdf from dom
- export invoices or reports as vector pdf client-side
- make selectable searchable pdf text instead of canvas screenshots
- embed custom fonts and unicode text in generated pdfs
- add headers footers and page numbers to exported pdf
- encrypt or compress pdf generated in frontend

## When to choose
- you need vector, selectable-text PDFs rendered entirely client-side
- you export long paginated documents (hundreds of pages) from the DOM
- you want to avoid canvas-screenshot libraries like html2pdf.js that produce blurry bitmap PDFs
- you need custom fonts, Unicode/CJK text, or PDF encryption without a server

## When to avoid
- you need server-side PDF generation (e.g. Node or headless Chrome rendering)
- you require full CSS layout fidelity for arbitrarily complex pages
- your target environment cannot load WASM or Web Workers
- you need features like form filling or PDF editing rather than generation
