I’m trying to get a report generated into a PDF. I’m using the combo of: meteorhacks:picker, classcraft:meteor-wkhtmltopdf, and meteorhacks:ssr.
I’m a massive noob at Node. So i’m pretty sure this is my lack of understanding but I just can’t find any information to help me with this particular idea. So please be easy on the critique, like I said I KNOW I DONT KNOW much here…
import wkhtmltopdf from 'wkhtmltopdf';
import fs from 'fs';
import Xvfb from 'xvfb';
const xvfb = new Xvfb();
Picker.route('/reports/all.posts/pdf/:_id', function (params, req, res, next) {
// For testing I'm just hardcoding the postId
let post = Postings.findOne({_id: 'WapgrumfH5ogkoztq'});
// the possts are not denormalized well so I run one more query
// to pull the business information associated with the post
let business = Businesses.findOne(post.company);
// honesty not sure why i have to do this, it just seemed to get me passed
// wkhtmltopdf not finding X server
xvfb.startSync();
// Use ssr to create the subsPdf template
SSR.compileTemplate('subsPdf',Assets.getText('reports/allSubmissions.html'));
// Use ssr to render the template with some simple data
let html = SSR.render('subsPdf', {title: post.title, business: business.name});
// just one option for the pdf
let options = { pageSize: 'letter' };
// Not sure this is even how I get the PDF but it's what I have
return wkhtmltopdf(html, options).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('report.pdf'));
});
The code has my notes in it. Here’s the error I get:

Not even sure why all that is being outputted. Any assistance here would be appreciated. I’m over my head but with a few tips I think I can swim.
