Hi @digitalkaoz @moshetanzer 👋

I had recently begun rewriting parts of the module to provide a Nuxt wrapper for PDFKit along with some helpers. The current 1.0.0 alpha releases are not to be used in production yet!

I am still unsure about the future of this approach, or if we will find a better way to generate PDFs inside Nuxt. In #25 I had outlined some next steps for this module, but am still unsure about how much value they will actually bring.

Most of the current server side functionality could be easily added yourself in a project by installing PDFKit and then writing some helper functions. I am still thinking of ways to provide more value, before continuing to push the next release!
