Answer 1

I couldn't get wkhtmltopdf to work on my end converting raw html to PDF, but I did find a simple microservice that was able to do it with a couple minutes work on bantam.io.

Here's how it works:

bantam
 .run('@images/html', {
   html: `
   
TEST
   

   
   `,
   imageType: 'pdf',
 })
 .then(pdfUrl => {
    // pdf is temporarily hosted on AWS S3 via a secure link at `pdfUrl`
});

They also have options for taking in a URL rather than raw HTML and you can produce images as well as PDFs. Here are the docs: https://bantam.io/functions/@images/html?link=docs&subLink=0
