PDF tool: PDFKit.js

www.npmjs.com/package/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.

You can also try out an interactive in-browser demo of PDFKit here.

Check out pdfkit.org for a full tutorial to see for yourself what PDFKit can do.
