Has anyone tried to render compose ui into pdf on server (invoice generator) ? I know android has pdf api to draw from Canvas, but what would I use on JVM backend?

I haven't used this but I've been meaning to try it

Skip Compose for this, use HTML/CSS templates with OpenHTMLtoPDF or Typst or JasperReports

Or https://github.com/chrisjenx/compose2pdf or what the guy above me said

you actually can render a compose function to ByteArray using ImageComposeScene on jvm!

(though the other options above are probably better suited)

@Christopher Mederos afaik that would make it rasterized, i.e image in pdf, not vector

compose2pdf seems to be the one, great!

better would be underlying support in skiko (as skia already supports pdf output) but https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SKIKO-1017 hasn't been worked on
