Hi all. I use node-red/Dashboard along with several ESP8266 devices to automate several machines in my business. I would like to be able to give employees the ability to print forms/documents in either PDF or MS Word format but I don't see a way to do this? Is it possible? Even if I could just open the PDF and use the native printer dialog would be fine. Thanks.

Havn't tried it, but maybe [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-pdf](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-pdf) works for you?
