Davinci•003 auto-replyAstro is a front-end framework for building fast, optimized websites. However, it doesn't have built-in support for generating PDFs during the build process. You would need to use a Node.js library like Puppeteer or pdf-lib to generate PDFs.
Here's a basic example of how you might use Puppeteer to generate a PDF:
1. First, install Puppeteer in your project:
``
This script will generate a PDF of the webpage at 'https://example.com' and save it as 'example.pdf'. You can run this script as part of your build process.
Please note that generating PDFs can be a resource-intensive process, and it may significantly increase your build times. It's generally recommended to generate PDFs on-demand (when a user requests them) rather than during the build process, if possible.
Generating PDFs during Astro’s build process
In my resume builder project, I want to create PDFs from Astro’s output both during builds and when certain files are updated. Puppeteer worked for listening to a port, but I’m interested in using pdfjs. How can I hook this into Astro’s build and dev processes?
