I'm having the same problem.

[muhzak]

Same here.

I'm facing the same issue

[ckohtz]

@piyush-kacha @muhzak I got around this by not using serverless-plugin-chrome at all. I don't think it's being maintained anymore. Not sure what you're doing, but I ended up using @sparticuz/chromium with puppeteer to create my PDF generator.

HI,

Can you share sample for this? sparticuz/chromium also not working

Here is a working example using node 18.

Ours runs as a serverless lambda function that we pass values to (ie. the url) and it will save the PDF to an S3 bucket. It includes caching the PDF and a bunch of other features including saving the file locally for testing.

I stripped out everything but the saving locally part to make it less confusing and easier to get running. Just make sure you have a temp directory where you run this, be sure to install the dependencies, and it should work.

//.env
IS_OFFLINE = true

require("dotenv").config();
const chromium = require("@sparticuz/chromium");
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");

// If you're running this as a lambda function, use puppeteer-core
const puppeteer =
  process.env.IS_OFFLINE === "true"
    ? require("puppeteer")
    : require("puppeteer-core");

const pdfGenerator = async () => {
  const url = "http://news.google.com";

  const executablePath =
    process.env.IS_OFFLINE === "true"
      ? undefined
      : await chromium.executablePath();

  chromium.setGraphiceMode = false;
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: ["--font-render-hinting=none", ...chromium.args],
    defaultViewport: chromium.defaultViewport,
    executablePath: executablePath,
    headless: chromium.headless,
    ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: "load" });

  const pdfBuffer = await page.pdf({
    printBackground: true,
    preferCSSPageSize: true,
    margin: {
      top: "0px",
      right: "0px",
      bottom: "0px",
      left: "0px",
    },
    waitUntil: "networkidle0",
  });

  const filePath = path.join("./temp", "myFile.pdf");
  fs.writeFileSync(filePath, pdfBuffer);

  console.log("Stored locally at " + filePath);
  process.exit();
};

pdfGenerator();
