var specialElementHandlers = {
'#editor': function (element, renderer) {
return true;
}
};

<div id=”content”>

<h3>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</h3>

</div>

<div id=”editor”></div>

<button id=”btn”>Generate PDF</button>

‘width’: 170,

‘elementHandlers’: specialElementHandlers

});

doc.save(‘sample-content.pdf’);
