7 years ago I had the same issue, almost a year later but I assume more people will come here and hope to find a solution. This is how I made it working:
1) download this repo
2) instead of the normal npm install do:
npm install ./node-pdflib-master
Also make sure to copy the ".dylib" files to the right location (/usr/lib on Linux, /usr/local/lib on MacOS)

npm install pdflib
