Phantom wont initialize / load angularjs controller methods

I need help generating a PDF file from an html page powered by an angularjs controller. pdf will be generated using the phantom module. im able to display and bind data correctly as soon as i go to a specific url, but when i call phantom to render the page it doesnt load / initialize / call controller methods, i tried different methods like doing ng-init from div or function call from controller once loading is done or even with

$scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function(){
  //code here...
})

      

        
        
        
      

    

phantom code:

function DoThePDF(){
    phantom.create(function(ph){
        ph.createPage(function(page) {
            page.set("paperSize", { format: "A4", orientation: 'portrait', margin: '1cm' });
            page.open(address, function(status) {
                if(status !== 'success'){
                    console.log('unable to open webpage');
                }
                else{
                    setTimeout(function() {
                        page.render("reports.pdf");
                        console.log("page rendered");
                        ph.exit();
                    }, 5000);
                }
            })
        })
    });
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

when calling page.open (address, function (status) {...} I can see that the page has been opened, but angular events / methods do not get initialized / called, so when the page is rendered is an empty html template, data I added delays but still doesn't help.
