You can use jsreport-core package for this

var jsreport = require('jsreport-core')()

jsreport.init().then(function () {     
   return jsreport.render({ 
       template: { 
           content: '<h1>Hello {{:foo}}</h1>', 
           engine: 'jsrender', 
           recipe: 'phantom-pdf'
        }, 
        data: { 
            foo: "world"
        }
    }).then(function(resp) {
     //prints pdf with headline Hello world
     console.log(resp.content.toString())
   });
}).catch(function(e) {
  console.log(e)
})

This just simply wraps javascript templating engines and html to pdf converters. However it adds also many features on top of it like visual designer which you can use.

I've used the combination of html-pdf and handlebars for that.
I generate an HTML report with handlebars and I let the html-pdf module generate a nice PDF from that.
