Server pdfmake font directory in meteor application
I am trying to create and save a pdf file on a server. I used meteorhacks: npm is packaged and pdfmake installed on the server side.
My code is in a subdirectory under the server directory. I am only using an example to make sure I can generate a basic pdf.
var fonts = {
Roboto: {
normal: 'fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf',
bold: 'fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf',
italics: 'fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf',
bolditalics: 'fonts/Roboto-Italic.ttf'
}
};
var PdfPrinter = Meteor.npmRequire('pdfmake/src/printer');
var printer = new PdfPrinter( fonts );
var dd = {
content: [
'First paragraph',
'Another paragraph'
]
};
var pdfDoc = printer.createPdfKitDocument(dd);
pdfDoc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('basics.pdf')).on('finish',function(){
//success
});
pdfDoc.end();
I get
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf'
I'm a bit puzzled as to where my font directory should be.
I tried to debug the pdfmake library and got lost. Placed the font directory in different locations with no luck.
Any ideas?
