- Image embedding (e.g., logos in Base64 format)
- Customizable PDF format (e.g., margins, page size)
- Browser automation for accurate HTML rendering
Requirements
- Node.js
- npm
- Handlebars
- A browser (Google Chrome for Selenium or Puppeteer)

generatePdffunction.

name: "John Doe",

{ description: "Item 2", price: "$20" }
]
};
