  Currently this isn't a feature that is built into the library, but it is something I'm keen to add. I'm not sure yet when I'll get a chance to add it, but it is something that should be available in a future version.

  Thank you allan,

  i have tried to insert custom events in buttons.html5.js like this:

  $( document ).trigger( "dtb_createPdfStart" );
  var pdf = window.pdfMake.createPdf( doc );
  $( document ).trigger( "dtb_createPdfEnd" );
  

  However the result is not satisfying. The triggers fire at the very end of the creation process.

  As a workaround in the meantime i have found a hint(https://github.com/bpampuch/pdfmake/issues/280) to speed up the creation of larger PDFs by editing the pdfmake.js:

  function flow(stream) {
    var state = stream._readableState;
    debug('flow', state.flowing);
    if (state.flowing) {
      do {
        var chunk = stream.read(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER); // grab MAX_SAFE_INTEGER bytes
      } while (null !== chunk && state.flowing);
    }
  }
  

  Hope this helps.
