Using Google Puppeteer to convert HTML template to PDF on server

html-to-pdf-puppeteer

Its has always been a challenge for many developers to generate PDF from html on server side. There are scenarios like where we need to generate a PDF invoice for a customer, save it on server as well as email them the PDF.

I am using a simple HTML invoice template to demonstrate how we can use puppeteer and node js to create a pdf of it on server.

STEPS TO RUN ABOVE CODE

• First clone the repository using git clone command
• Run npm install in the project root directory.
• Wait for dependencies to install, they may take some time depending on your internet speed.
• Run node index.js command in your terminal.

You will see a file name invoice.pdf in you project root folder, that is the converted file from html to pdf.
