In order to convert the HTML form data into pdf, the main approach is to use the html2pdf() function from the html2pdf library.
Approach: First, create a form with encryption type as text and add some input fields. After that, we need to use the html2pdf(element) function from the html2pdf library. Provide an onclick() functionality on the Submit button in the form. The html2pdf(element) function takes an input which is the id of the tag or form that needs to be converted to pdf format.
Example: This example shows the use of the above-explained approach.
