Which package do you use to generate PDFs in Meteor?

Here is a little snippet I recently came up with when working with a client.

this.route('generatePDF', {
        path: '/api/generatePDF',
        where: 'server',
        action: function() {
            var webshot = Meteor.npmRequire('webshot');
            var fs      = Npm.require('fs');
            var fut = new Future();
            var fileName = "generated_"+Random.id()+".pdf";
            var url = Meteor.absoluteUrl(<path to a client side route with print css>);

            var options = {
              renderDelay:5000,
                "paperSize": {
                    "format": "Letter", 
                    "orientation": "portrait", 
                    "margin": "1cm"
                }
            };

            webshot(url, fileName, options, function(err) {
              fs.readFile(fileName, function (err,data) {
                if (err) {
                  return console.log(err);
                }

                fs.unlinkSync(fileName);
                fut.return(data);
              });
            });

            this.response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/pdf',"Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename=generated.pdf"});
            this.response.end(fut.wait());
        }
    });

works well in practice for the use case i had (generating nicely formatted certificates) and it was pretty easy to style as desired using print css on the route we wanted to make the pdf from
