Using `@react-pdf/renderer` v3.0.1 with React 18

Introduction

When I tried to use the @react-pdf/renderer package (version 3.0.1) with a React 18 app, two problems arose. In this article, I'll describe those problems and tell you how I solved them.

Update: Here's a video demonstration of the problems and solution described in this article: https://youtu.be/YZP5r7Uy_bU

Problem 1: Dependency Conflict

WinHttpRequest Wrapper

Usage and information: https://redd.it/mcjj4s

AutoHotkey v2.0

[WinHttpRequest.ahk]

	Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

	; Hides the 'Upgrade your plan' button in Office 2021/2024 AND Microsoft 365.
	; Sets three Office feature switches to false; Office ignores the ones that don't apply to your license.
	; No admin rights needed (current user only). Close and reopen Office apps after importing.
	; To undo: import Restore_Upgrade_Your_Plan_ALL.reg

	[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\ExperimentConfigs\ExternalFeatureOverrides\word]
	"Microsoft.Office.Licensing.ShowPerpetualUpgrade"="false"
	"Microsoft.Office.Licensing.EnablePerpetualUpgrade"="false"

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	case $1 in
	-h\|--help\|'') echo "usage: ${0##*/} <old> <new>"; exit;;
	esac

	export new=$2

	#requires openssl@3 from Homebrew

	[[ -x $_openssl ]] \|\| { echo "missing openssl, try \`brew install openssl\`"; exit 1; }
