Is node the right choice for HTML to PDF conversion?
pdfjs was pretty good when I used it https://github.com/rkusa/pdfjs

Astro JS non-HTML Routes: File & Resource API
We use the pdfjs package here to generate the PDF for us. It just has dummy content in our case. You might generate it from scratch or compose it from other PDFs in your real-world app. See more on pdfjs usage in the docs. The most important part is the output we return in line 12. For a static site, aim to return an object with a body field which is a string. For SSR you can return a Response object instead and even stream HTML. We use binary encoding here which makes sure Astro encodes PDFs including images (for example) correctly — thanks to @altano for tip here.

API-driven dynamic PDF generator.
You could generate html using your own tools like Django or PHP and then use something like chrome-headless-render-pdf to convert your page to pdf. I haven't tried it but I think it would work okay. You probably have to serve the pdfs on a webserver or something because it looks like they are just saved to disk after conversion.
