In this video we cover how to generate PDFs with a Node server and how to send them back to the client. The pdf generator we build will create these PDF on the server and stream it back to the client via a REST endpoint. We use the pdfkit Node.js library to build the PDF on the server. Technically speaking this library could also be used on the frontend to generate a PDF with client-side Javascript.
