When hosting, platforms have difficulty detecting where the prince binary is located (it completely breaks if it's not installed). node-prince should fix this automatically as it installs prince on its own but I haven't yet gotten a response from its maintainer. For more details on this, see rse/node-prince#52

The readme needs to emphasise on the fact that this repo isn't to be used "as is" but rather it provides a codebase that is ready-to-go for any designs you want to make.

Discussion on this found at SvelteKit's server in this thread.

When running SSR for the API, an exec is run to generate the dist/tailwind.css file. Even though it is "awaited" it doesn't wait for it and tries to read the file but it doesn't exist till then.

Ideally, I want that this file is generated through some way other than using exec.

The resume preset needs some metadata options as it's a document that'll most benefit from them. This can additionally be made generic for all current and future presets

In the event that someone wants the raw HTML instead of the generated PDF, provide them with it.

Currently, since we provide 2 methods to generate PDFs, there exists 2 functions for SSR as they've required slightly different inputs.

Albeit, majority of it can be put into a function that both codes use.

SSR for API: src/routes/pdf/+server.ts
SSR for CLI: src/lib/ssr.ts

A nice side-by-side view for the code + PDF output would be very appealing.

Currently, in the question-paper design, the page count is required in the data file. This value can easily get outdated on future updates of a data or even misconfigured initially.

A solution to this might be to generate the PDF without a count and then update the count, generating the PDF again. This is incredibly inefficient since generating a PDF is an expensive operation.

Looking for a different solution to this problem.
