Cómo generar un archivo PDF en Node.js

In this comprehensive tutorial, we delve into generating PDF files in Node.js using the IronPDF library. We begin by installing the necessary packages and setting up the environment. The tutorial covers importing essential modules, including PDF Generator, PDF Document, and IronPDF Global Config, along with the FS module from Node.js. We demonstrate creating PDFs from HTML strings by converting a simple 'Hello World' HTML tag into a PDF. Next, we explore converting a Wikipedia page URL about PDFs into a PDF document, showcasing IronPDF's ability to capture web pages in detail. The tutorial also covers converting images into a single PDF by filtering JPEGs from a directory and using PDF Generator's image-to-PDF functionality. By running the code in the terminal, we successfully generate and review the PDFs, displaying IronPDF's capabilities to convert various sources into PDF documents. This powerful tool significantly enhances PDF generation possibilities in Node.js applications.
