Page.createPDFStream() method

Generates a PDF of the page with the print CSS media type.

Signature

class Page {
  abstract createPDFStream(
    options?: PDFOptions,
  ): Promise<ReadableStream<Uint8Array>>;
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	PDFOptions	(Optional) options for generating the PDF.

Returns:

Promise<ReadableStream<Uint8Array>>

Remarks

To generate a PDF with the screen media type, call `page.emulateMediaType('screen')` before calling page.pdf(). Note that this disables @media print stylesheets, which may cause layout issues on pages that rely on print styles for pagination. Call `page.emulateMediaType(null)` to restore the default print media type.

By default, page.pdf() generates a pdf with modified colors for printing. Use the `-webkit-print-color-adjust` property to force rendering of exact colors.
