# pdfmake Declarative Client & Server Document Generation

Generates PDFs with pdfmake: defining document structures (docDefinition), headers and footers with dynamic page numbers, tables with column widths and border styling, styling hierarchies, and downloading/streaming PDFs.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- generate invoice pdf pdfmake
- pdfmake table styling
- multi-page pdf page numbers

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Define document definition: const docDefinition = { content: [...], styles: { header: { fontSize: 18, bold: true } } }.
2. Define tables: { table: { headerRows: 1, widths: ['*', 'auto', 100], body: [...] } }.
3. Client generation: pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).download('invoice.pdf').
4. Server streaming: const pdfDoc = printer.createPdfKitDocument(docDefinition); pdfDoc.pipe(res); pdfDoc.end().

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
