Solution could be add PDF as a public file in your ERPNext account, or on service like Dropbox. In the Item Description, add link of that file.

Hi @shahid_khan021

Frappe doesn’t have specific method at js side to convert html to pdf, this functionality can be achieve from the py side. You can refer below files to generate the pdf file

You need to write the whitelist method in your custom app and call the above method, for example

Call the above whitelist method from js side, refer below code
