❔ Convert cshtml view to PDF file

Basically title. I had this functionality working already, but its working weirdly slow sometimes... its also probably not the best, because I am geenrating it with Puppeteer, so technically I am opening the html content in the hidden browser, and then downloading it from there. What would be the best free option to do this?

Rendering it with a browser and doing "print to pdf" is probably the easiest, and thats exactly what puppeteer does.

yeah i know, but for some reasong it doesnt work consistently.. sometimes it reneders it instantly, and sometimes loads for like 30sec, or doesnt even render it at all..

Curious. I wrote something very similar using a .NET webapi that could just wrap a puppeteer script to generate PDFs, and unless the page had a lot of funky JS it worked fine
