Puppeteer: Failed to parse parameter value:
A PDF dimension string cannot be parsed as a number.
A PDF dimension string cannot be parsed as a number.
Error message
Failed to parse parameter value:
How this error happens
A PDF dimension string must contain a number with a supported unit. wide cannot be converted into a page width.
The snippets use an open Puppeteer page named page.
await page.pdf({
width: "wide",
height: "297mm",
});
How to fix
Supply a numeric dimension, optionally followed by px, in, cm or mm.
await page.pdf({
width: "210mm",
height: "297mm",
});
Things to keep in mind
A CSS expression such as calc(100% - 20px) is not a PDF dimension. Calculate the size before calling pdf.
