It seems you are trying to pull from a private npm repo https://registry.npmjs.org/nexxdeli-app , check you npm configuration as cordova use npm command to grap the plugin.

@cesarvr , sorry, but I didn't clearly understand what you meant. can you kindly elaborate?

[biranchi2018]

Even i am also facing the same issue. There is no solution yet.

ionic -v 3.19.0

cordova -v 7.1.0

node -v v8.9.3

npm -v 5.5.1

[cesarvr]

I have tested the plugin by fresh installing the following: node 8.9.3 npm 5.5.1 cordova 8.0.0

And I not able to reproduce this problem.

can you try the following this steps ?

cordova create test   # create a test cordova project. 
git clone https://github.com/cesarvr/pdf-generator  # clone the plugin source code 

cd test/ # enter to the cordova created project
cordova plugin add ../pdf-generator # install the plugin, using the source code 

If everything is fine , you can try this example.

if everything works, then is some problem with your npm or cordova.

Cheers.
