This is a perfect use case for the official PDF Generator API node, which is available directly in n8n.

It has a dedicated action called HTML to PDF designed for this exact challenge. You can simply take your populated HTML template (which you’ve already generated) and pass it to this action, and it will handle the conversion for you.

It’s a robust, scalable solution that is great at processing complex HTML/CSS, including images and visual layouts, ensuring your generated PDF looks just like your HTML.
