Notes
This seems to be fixed by base64 encoding the html snippet before transmitting to the electron api, and then adding base64; inside the loadUrl method:
public function printToPDF(string $html, ?array $settings = []): string
{
return $this->client->post('system/print-to-pdf', [
'html' => base64_encode($html),
'settings' => $settings,
])->json('result');
}yield printWindow.loadURL(`data:text/html;base64;charset=UTF-8,${html}`);
