[LRUG] Best way to generate a PDF

[Mooktakim Ahmed]

Hey,

Recently i have used https://github.com/pdfkit/PDFKit. One good thing about
it is that you can set it up as a middleware which translates HTML into PDF
just by going to the .pdf extension.
It might not be good fit for you. But for me, it was a nice way to quickly
get PDF generation working, without adding too much messy code. Especially
good if you need to convert HTML to PDF.


Regards,
Mooktakim Ahmed
