I am using Docker base image mhart/alpine-node. PDF creation fails with below exception

Error: spawn ./node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/bin/phantomjs ENOENT

Seems like you need to install phantonjs

sudo apt-get install phantomjs

@Prasundas99 i found multiple issue whan i install phantomjs manually.

Text is not rendering
Table size increased a lot

It is working as expected in my windows 10 OS.

I had used the previous version I worked perfectly fine. Maybe something has broken with the update

That is almost certainly FONT_CONFIG path and the related libraries. Take a look at this post, which hopefully covers the topic for you: https://github.com/marcbachmann/node-html-pdf/issues/547

The pdf generator packages are deprecated and don't work on aws lambdas, just this new package I found.
