 var element = document.getElementById('canvas_div_pdf');
html2pdf(element);
</script>

You can also pass the custom options to the html2pdf library as shown below. It will add custom margin to the pdf document and also pass the filename and also pass the html2canvas and jspdf library.

html2pdf(element, {
  margin:       10,
  filename:     'myfile.pdf',
  image:        { type: 'jpeg', quality: 0.98 },
  html2canvas:  { scale: 2, logging: true, dpi: 192, letterRendering: true },
  jsPDF:        { unit: 'mm', format: 'a4', orientation: 'portrait' }
});
