Package
I used html-pdf
Easy to use and allows not only to save pdf as file, but also pipe pdf content to a WriteStream (so I could stream it directly to Google Storage to save there my reports).
Using css + images
It takes css into account. The only problem I faced - it ignored my images. The solution I found was to replace url in src
attrribute value by base64, e.g.
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBOR...kSuQmCC">
You can do it with your code or to use one of online converters, e.g. https://www.base64-image.de/
Compile valid html code from html fragment + css
html
document (I just appiled .html() method on jQuery selector).css

<html>
<head>
<style>

</style>
</head>
<body id=direct-sellers-bill>
