How can i fix the helvetica error in NextJS with pdfkit-Table

Question

With the code can you tell me How can i fix the helvetica error in NextJS with pdfkit-Table

Answer 1

It typically occurs when PDFKit (used by pdfkit-table) can't find the standard Helvetica font in your Next.js environment. Here's how to fix it:

Solution 1: Register Helvetica Font Explicitly

import PDFDocument from 'pdfkit-table';

import fs from 'fs';

const doc = new PDFDocument();

doc.registerFont('Helvetica', 'node_modules/pdfkit/js/data/Helvetica.afm');

doc.font('Helvetica');

Solution 2: Use a Different Built-in Font

const doc = new PDFDocument();

doc.font('Courier');
