        { text: 'Heading', fontSize: 25},
        {
          layout: 'lightHorizontalLines', // optional
          table: {
            headerRows: 1,
            widths: [ '*', 'auto', 100, '*' ],

            body: [
              [ 'First', 'Second', 'Third', 'The last one' ],
              [ 'Value 1', 'Value 2', 'Value 3', 'Value 4' ],

    let file_name = 'PDF' + uuid() + '.pdf';
    const pdfDoc = printer.createPdfKitDocument(docDefinition, options);
    pdfDoc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(file_name));
    pdfDoc.end();
