I had a bug where the font files are not included in the build. I fixed this by explicitly providing these assets to the container. See this commit where I resolved the issue: github.com/phartenfeller/sveltekit-1.0-sqlite-demo-app/commit/15e3c11ec6e198df6269a43d61d8fdbaeaf5b7ea

Thank you... so much

[@RicardoCamisa]

Thank you very much for answering this question of mine. I was thinking about the possibility of creating an API with nodejs. You saved me!

[@naranyala_dev]

Great video ❤. Really helpful

[@luisguillermorodriguezmare70]

Hi! Thanks for the video and great explanation. I'm trying to generate the pdf following the steps mentioned, but the pdf stays loading and doesn't finish. From the logs on the server it seems that the pdf is being generated, but when it tries to consume from the client, stays loading. Do you know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

cant get this to work in production, on vercel, keep getting " ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'src/lib/server/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf'" even though i have them in my directory

Hello, I tried to use with Node Adapter, but in production it fails because of __dirname in a dependency module (fontkit)

[@hartenfellerdev]

Sorry for the late reply but I had a bug all along that I finally noticed and fixed. The font files are not included in the build so I had to explicitly provide them: github.com/phartenfeller/sveltekit-1.0-sqlite-demo-app/commit/15e3c11ec6e198df6269a43d61d8fdbaeaf5b7ea
