Report PDF Generation Service

This is a request to build a standalone PDF generation microservice that converts structured vehicle report JSON data into a professionally designed, print-ready A4 PDF. The system should be independent from the main application and expose an API endpoint for integration.

It must:
- Use Node.js/TypeScript backend
- Generate PDFs using HTML to PDF rendering (Playwright or Puppeteer)
- Produce fully searchable text-based PDFs (not image-based rendering)
- Support branded, dealer-style report design with structured sections
- Handle complex layouts such as tables, history logs, and risk summaries
- Ensure correct pagination with no overlapping or broken components
- Include SVG-based damage visualization support
- Provide a secure API endpoint for JSON input and PDF output
- Be packaged with Docker and include documentation for deployment and integration
