How can I make PDF files in a Unity WebGL build?



.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I am in the process of making a Unity WebGL App and I would like the user to be able to download a status report which pulls-in info from the app.
So far I have tested SharpPDF with which i am able to generate a pdf in the editor and standalone builds but not in the webGL build.



Any ideas
Thanks

            I'll add that the reason why most of the c# pdf generators you'll find online won't work is because they take a dependency on either GDI or WPF, which are both windows specific.
