ForYourIT : Hey there, hope you doing great. Can somebody assit me with this? Is it an npm package that is not public or something and can’t be used?

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : it looks like the package you’re trying to install has a dependency on puppeteer, which doesn’t currently work in the Pipedream environment.

Are you trying to generate a PDF? If you tell me more about your use case I may be able to suggest a workaround

ForYourIT : Thank you , yes just taking a look if we can create a pdf from html with node

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : Most of the packages for this require a browser to run and so suffer from the same issue you hit. Internally, we use Browserless for this - they host Puppeteer and expose services like this via API. It’s a paid service, but relatively cheap.

The Pipedream Browserless action to generate a PDF is actually not working at the moment, but we’ll address that ASAP. Are you comfortable working with those API docs for now?

Let me know if that helps.

ForYourIT : Cool thank you! I will take a look at it

I ran into this issue when trying to install the pdffiller package. Fortunately I found an alternative that installs successfully: pdf-lib lets me add data to fillable pdfs in Pipedream!
