**Generate PDF files from HTML documents.**

_Simply ```POST``` an HTML document to a web service and receive an ```application/pdf``` document in response._

### Implementation

* The [Serverless](https://www.serverless.com/) framework creates a web service using [AWS API Gateway](https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/) and [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/).

* The web service uses [Puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) and [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/) to render an HTML document as a PDF file.

### Documentation

Complete documentation for installation and operation can be found [here](https://barchart.github.io/aws-lambda-pdf-generator/#/).

### Technical Notes

**ARM Architecture (2023/08/31, v3.0.0)**

> It would be nice to use ARM architecture for AWS Lambda functions (and use Apple silicon locally). However, the [`@sparticuz/chromium`](https://github.com/Sparticuz/chromium) project has not yet added support. See the comments [here](https://github.com/Sparticuz/chromium#running-locally--headlessheadful-mode).
