  You can implement a globaly scoped script that will add to every template additional data from a global setting.

  const jsreport = require('jsreport-proxy') async function beforeRender (req, res) { const dataItem = await jsreport.documentStore.collection('data').findOne({ name: 'data-global'}) req.data.global = JSON.parse(dataItem.dataJson) }

  Thank you, it is some sort of bug in puppeteer/chrome. We will update puppeteer with the next jsreport release.

  At this moment you can also just add the latest puppeteer dep to the app package.json, run npm i, restart jsreport and it should work.

  { "name": "jsreport-server", "main": "server.js", "scripts": { "start": "node server", "jsreport": "jsreport" }, "jsreport": { "entryPoint": "server.js" }, "dependencies": { "jsreport": "^4.2.0", "puppeteer": "21.10.0" } }

  Does the same work in playground?

  If that is the case, you may need to install additional fonts

  apt-get install -y libfontconfig fonts-dejavu-core fonts-dejavu-extra fonts-droid-fallback fonts-tlwg-garuda fonts-tlwg-kinnari fonts-tlwg-laksaman fonts-tlwg-loma fonts-tlwg-mono fonts-tlwg-norasi fonts-tlwg-purisa fonts-tlwg-sawasdee fonts-tlwg-typewriter fonts-tlwg-typist fonts-tlwg-typo fonts-tlwg-umpush fonts-tlwg-waree

  I'm afraid chrome has no such "magical" option.

  Although you may try to search in puppeteer repo for some CSS tricks that could help
  https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues

  For example, here I see a CSS trick for font issues in word.

  I'm unaware of any css solution that could work for this case. The thead would repeat the element on the top of every page for you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to position it as you want.

  I'm afraid you will need to stick with the pdf utils merge. To optimize rendering, you can render the chart just once and merge it to all pages using jsreport script
  https://playground.jsreport.net/w/anon/1RyVSTCV

  Maybe you can use it as a "component" and append/prepend such template to other templates again using pdf utils and scripts.

  This is the case when the bottleneck is chrome. This means configuring jsreport itself won't help. But you can try to configure chrome in jsreport.config.json.

  Try new headless mode

  "chrome": { "launchOptions": { "headless": "new" } }

  Try disabling the gpu (or try to use a server with GPU card)

  "chrome": { "launchOptions": { "args": ["--disable-gpu"] } }

  Disable accessibility tag generation

  <html> <body aria-hidden="true"> ... </body> </html>

  How do we use the MongoDB connection string in server.js?

  See the documentation
  https://github.com/jsreport/jsreport/tree/master/packages/jsreport-mongodb-store
  The mongodb connection string is passed like this

  require('jsreport')({ "store": { "provider": "mongodb" }, "extensions": { "mongodb-store": { "uri": "mongodb://db1.example.net,db2.example.net:2500/?replicaSet=test" } } })

  If we add certain configurations directly in server.js then do we need to remove the respective configurations from jsreport.config.json?

  See the documentation
  https://jsreport.net/learn/configuration#configuration-sources

  The options passed in the server.js has the highest priority

  Just wanted to say thanks @admin, moving to Mongo brought down the folder cloning from upwards of 2 mins down to 11secs! UI and API seems much snappier as well.

  (Note: Am using MongoDB Atlas Serverless, seems to work fine so far.)

  One thing I found was that using a US database from the UK for development was crazy slow, presumably my internet connection or latency or something, but when I connected from the Docker image hosted in the same region, it was all good.

  Next up, migrating the rendered reports. :)

  True, but we allow our customer to create custom reports using internal APIs, which will be displayed in UI. So storing initial data will be tricky. That's why I was hoping that somehow jsreports saves the returned data of script and use different recipe.
  But I will use above solution for now. Thanks.

  After having investigated my jsreport.config.json it revelead that the option

  "extensions": { "chrome-pdf": { "launchOptions": { "args": [ "--no-sandbox", "--ignore-certificate-errors" ] } } }

  in fact any "launchOptions" (even empty) lead to the described error.
  With version 3.12 this was not the case.

  How about pdf utils solution like this one?
  https://playground.jsreport.net/w/anon/~OElsZM9

  If the table appears at the dynamic position, you can use hidden marks to merge the Continuation text at the right pages.
