            How to generate a PDF with eCharts content in NodeJS API
            Asked 2021-Jun-10 at 13:53

            I have a NodeJS API and I need to create an endpoint which creates a richly-featured dynamic PDF report and saves it to an S3 bucket. I've been working with PDFKit (https://pdfkit.org/) and have most of what I need from there, but I've come up across a stumbling block because the latest design I've been given includes a donut chart generated with eCharts and I can't figure out how to include this using PDFKit. It needs to be generated dynamically for each call. There is no visible HTML page which displays the report, this must all be achieved within the NodeJS API.

            Are there any pre-existing solutions I'm overlooking that would make this possible?

            NB I have some flexibility so it doesn't have to be specifically an eCharts solution, as long as I can include a stacked donut chart with labels.

            Thanks.

            You never close the file you're writing to, or explicitly flush it. Since it's a small text snippet, and buffering is enabled by default, it doesn't get written to disk until after your process terminates. You don't see an error because the file does get created immediately as it's opened though. The issue is not one of timing as you seem to suppose.

            There are any number of solutions to this problem. The simplest and most correct is to close the file as soon as you're finished writing to it. This is how you open a file idiomatically in python:

            When I make a GetDocument call (specifically {{vx}}/accounts/{{accountid}}/envelopes/{{envelopeId}}/documents/combined, for example), the response headers have Content-Type: application/pdf and Content-Dispostion: file; filename=file.pdf, and the body of the response is the binary of the PDF file itself.

            Answered 2021-Apr-28 at 17:09

            pdfkit was not loaded properly in the lambda function. I solved this by following this advice for adding external dependencies to a lambda function in CDK.

            Basically, create a separate folder for your lambda in your CDK set up with a seperate node modules folder. On deploy, all of this will be packed together to have the dependencies available.

            After that, pdfkit works as expected.

            PDF Printing Transparent Backgrounds
            Asked 2021-Apr-13 at 14:10

            My app does PDF creation. As part of it, I have successfully allowed the user to add an image, and the image is cropped to a circle and added. When you view the subsequently created PDF on the screen, or on a computer screen, it looks great. But when you print it off, it prints part of that transparent background off, as seen in the images versus how it looks on screen.

            Setting the PDFKit-save-pdf header will cause PDFKit to write the generated .pdf to the file indicated by the value of the header. Will cause the .pdf to be saved to path/to/saved.pdf in addition to being sent back to the client. If the path is not writable/non-existent the write will fail silently. The PDFKit-save-pdf header is never sent back to the client.
