Why not use the html-pdf npm module which uses phantomJS?

Code example

var fs = require('fs');
var pdf = require('html-pdf');
var html = fs.readFileSync('./test/businesscard.html', 'utf8');
var options = { format: 'Letter' };

pdf.create(html, options).toFile('./businesscard.pdf', function(err, res) {
  if (err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(res); // { filename: '/app/businesscard.pdf' } 
});

can I pass url like this var html = fs.readFileSync('http://localhost:3000/product/generate-invoice', 'utf8'); to generate pdf report?

The characters are becoming cut at the end of each pdf. It's a dynamic pdf. Hot to solve it.
