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.
