[BUG] - PDF generation issue in Mozilla Firefox

[al1abb]

Description

Note

These issues also arise in the deployed version of the app

Issues:

1. Direct Download: After generating a PDF, the file is downloaded directly without proper user interaction.

2. Empty PDF iframe: The PDF iframe appears to be empty, causing difficulties in rendering or displaying the generated PDF.

3. Opening in New Tab: Opening the PDF in a new tab does not work as expected; it may not load or display correctly.

4. Quantity Input Error: The quantity input field can accept non-numeric values even though it is specified as type=number.

5. Signature Drawing: The signature drawing on canvas feels slower and lags behind the mouse (this issue comes from shadcn dialog element).

Expected Behavior:

• PDF should not be downloaded right after generation. Iframe content should be visible.
• PDF should be shown in a new tab when opened in a new tab.
• Quantity and some other numeric input fields should only accept numbers.
• Signature drawing should be smooth with no lag

Environment:

• Browser: Mozilla Firefox 118.0.2
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home

Any pupeteer alternatives that can fix this natively?

I have used the following in the past

https://github.com/diegomura/react-pdf

It has a declarative way to generate PDF within the browser itself..

I know about it. Tried using it in the past, but had issues configuring it with next.js.
Then I decided to use puppeteer instead

Oh okie.. then can https://github.com/foliojs/pdfkit be directly used?
