@Prasundas99 i found multiple issue whan i install phantomjs manually.
* Text is not  rendering

* Table size increased a lot
It is working as expected in my windows 10 OS.

That is almost certainly FONT_CONFIG path and the related libraries. Take a look at this post, which hopefully covers the topic for you: https://github.com/marcbachmann/node-html-pdf/issues/547
