Can't figure out what to do with the base64 encoded data. Found this related thread, and I have tried the same actions, but I get the same result as that user. Any suggestions on how to get the pdf from this base64 encoded format to a downloadable PDF?

Thanks, yes I followed that one.

I will look into it tomorrow. Guess I can use the code sample until the fs.createWriteStream part, because that wont be possible in the browser/client...

Hello

I followed the guide on setting up jsreport as an Azure function, and my template shows as expected on https://jsreporttest-abacus.azurewebsites.net/api/report

Now I try to get it from the client, and I have tried both browser.js and node.js without any luck.
browser.js

     const jsreport = require('jsreport-browser-client-dist')
     jsreport.serverUrl = "https://jsreporttest-abacus.azurewebsites.net";

     var request = {
        template: {
          shortid: 'oizlGafQAt', recipe: 'chrome-pdf'
        },
        data : {
          to: "To",
          from: "From",
          price:"200"
        }
      };

       jsreport.render('_blank', request);

This gives the error in the browser: "Template must contains _id, shortid or content attribute.....(stacktrace)" (I have tried to use content instead of shortid as well, but still the same error)

node.js

      const jsreport = require("jsreport-client")("https://jsreporttest-abacus.azurewebsites.net");

      const res = await jsreport.render({
        template: {
         shortid: 'oizlGafQAt',
          recipe: 'html',
          engine: 'handlebars'
        },
        data : {
          to: "To",
          from: "From",
          price:"200"
        }
      })
     const bodyBuffer = await res.body()
     console.log(bodyBuffer.toString())    

Gives the error in the console: "XML Parsing Error: junk after document element" (but I se in the Network tab that it actually generates the HTML in the response correctly) If I switch to receipe: chrome-pdf it gives : "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed"

What am I doing wrong here?
