Developers and anyone requiring a JavaScript PDF generation library for Node and the browser
About PDFKit
PDFKit is a PDF document generation library for Node and the browser that makes creating complex, multi-page, printable documents easy. The API embraces chainability, and includes both low-level functions as well as abstractions for higher-level functionality. The PDFKit API is designed to be simple, so generating complex documents is often as simple as a few function calls. Access privileges (printing, copying, modifying, annotating, form filling, content accessibility, document assembly). Accessibility support (marked content, logical structure, Tagged PDF, PDF/UA). Supports JPEG and PNG files (including indexed PNGs, and PNGs with transparency). In addition to PDFKit, you'll need somewhere to stream the output to. Note that in order to Browserify a project using PDFKit, you need to install the brfs module with npm, which is used to load built-in font data into the package.
