html-pdf npm library gives weird output on Linux Server?

vinodgupta2006 commented 5 years ago

I am generating PDF from HTML and that worked fine on my local machine, which has Windows as OS. But now I deploy my application on a Linux server where it gives weird output:

const htmlPdf = require('html-pdf')
try{
    let html = `<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /></head><body><div>Managed APs</div><br /><table><th>AP Serial</th><th>AP Name</th><th>AP Model</th><th>Mac Address</th><th>IP</th><th>Connect Status</th><th>Cluster</th><tr><td>1010212112</td><td >AP_Test</td><td>RJ147</td><td>1.23.2.2</td><td>1.23.12.4</td><td>Connected</td><td>Dummy Cluster</td></tr></table></body></html>`

    htmlPdf.create(html).toBuffer(function(err, buffer){
        if(err){
            return res.json({
                success: false,
                message: dbErrorMessage
            });
        } else{
            const pdfData = buffer.toString('base64')
            return res.json({
                success: true,
                data: pdfData
            });
      }
    });
}
catch(e){
    return res.json({
        success: false,
        message: e 
    });
}

I have also posted query on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53866694/html-pdf-npm-library-gives-weird-output-on-linux-server

@ganeshpaiya I was faced the same issue, If you update the phantomjs in your server then you may not get this issue.along with that in your server update the below packages too. It was works fine to me now. sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 sudo apt-get install libfontconfig

For alpine it in Dockerfile was works fine

RUN apk add --no-cache curl && \ cd /tmp && curl -Ls https://github.com/dustinblackman/phantomized/releases/download/2.1.1/dockerized-phantomjs.tar.gz | tar xz && \ cp -R lib lib64 / && \ cp -R usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib && \ cp -R usr/share /usr/share && \ cp -R etc/fonts /etc && \ curl -k -Ls https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 | tar -jxf - &&\ cp phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs && \ rm -fR phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64 && \ apk del curl

RUN npm rebuild phantomjs-prebuilt
