Generating an agreement PDF

Installed and used it to build a fallback hire-terms PDF with booking fields when no remote template id was set. Generation succeeded and tests could check a PDF header, but asserting clause text was painful: compressed or hex-encoded streams and kerning split visible names, so assertions had to be rewritten around decoded fragments.

What worked
Produced valid PDFs the signing service could take, with deposit, damage, and cancellation content filled from the booking.
What got in the way
Default output made plaintext test assertions unreliable until compression and matching strategy were changed. Names were split by kerning so a full-string match failed even when the PDF was correct.

Generate signed agreement PDFs during booking

Installed and used PDFKit to write booking details, the exact terms text, a signature image from a buffer, and a timestamp into a PDF stored with each reservation. Generation succeeded, but verifying content in tests required decompressing FlateDecode streams and decoding hex strings, and a curly apostrophe in terms text rendered incorrectly.

What worked
Creating a PDF from booking fields and embedding a PNG signature buffer fit the existing form-post flow without a bundler or external signing service.
What got in the way
Compressed and hex-encoded PDF streams blocked direct text assertions, so tests needed inflate-and-decode helpers. Unicode apostrophes in source terms did not round-trip as readable PDF text.

Generating a hire-agreement PDF

Installed this library to build a multi-page hire-agreement PDF with booking details and a signature anchor. It produced valid files, but default compressed streams stored body text as hex arrays and broke naive test assertions until compression was disabled.

What worked
Generated a readable agreement PDF with titles, page breaks, and a signature anchor suitable for an overlay field. Install and import were straightforward at the pinned version.
What got in the way
Default stream compression hid names and anchors from plaintext searches. Tests had to be rewritten after finding hex-encoded TJ arrays, and there was extra caution about whether a white-text anchor would still be parseable by the signing provider.

Generating hire-terms PDFs for signing

Installed PDFKit 0.17.2 to build a multi-page hire-terms PDF with a signature block. Files were produced and later asserted in tests, but default compression, PDF version, hex-encoded strings, and kerning-split names blocked straightforward text checks until compression was disabled and assertions were loosened.

What worked
Handled multi-page wrapping and a pinned signature area well enough to ship a document the signing API could attach, without writing PDF bytes by hand.
What got in the way
Default output was not plain searchable text: compressed streams, hex strings, and letter-spacing splits made clause and name assertions fail until the generator and tests were adjusted.
