HTML2PDF with Nodemailer

Question

Trying to send a generated PDF from eKoopman's HTML2PDF.js to send as an email attachment-- but can't get the resulting PDF to display. Have tried a lot of the solutions on Stack Overflow and elsewhere, but many tend to be outdated.

HTML2PDF:

html2pdf().set(opt).from(iac).toPdf().output('datauristring')
    .then(function(pdf) {
        emailDoc(pdf)
    })

Attempts at the relevant parts of the mail options from emailDoc():

attachments: [{
   filename: 'Name.pdf',
   content: Buffer.from(pdf).toString('base64')
}]

attachments: [{
   filename: 'Name.pdf',
   content: Buffer.from(pdf).toString('base64'),
   contentType: 'application/pdf'
}]

attachments: [{
   filename: 'Name.pdf',
   content: new Buffer(pdf, 'base64'),
   contentType: 'application/pdf'
}]

attachments: [{
   filename: 'Name.pdf',
   content: pdf,
   encoding: 'base64'
}]

Doesn't necessarily have to be the base64 method, just any combination that will make this work!

You may try to save your pdf first, then upload it using path description like,

  attachments: [{
    filename: 'file.pdf',
    path: '/path/to/file',
    contentType: 'application/pdf'
  }],

Hope it helps!
