JsReport .NET Core - Generate PDF from url - pdf

Question

Trying to use JsReport to generate a pdf from a url but can't find any documentation or examples in their github repo.
Basically I need to generate the pdf and attach it to an email and I've managed to get data back as a byte[], but I can't seem to figure out how to use an existing View/Action.
This is the action that generates the PDF for viewing...
[MiddlewareFilter(typeof(JsReportPipeline))]
public async Task<IActionResult> Pdf(Guid id)
{
var serviceOrder = await _serviceOrderService.Get(id);
if (serviceOrder == null) return new NotFoundResult();
var model = _mapper.Map<ServiceOrderModel>(serviceOrder);
HttpContext.JsReportFeature().Recipe(Recipe.PhantomPdf);
return View(model);
}
This action should take the pdf view from "Details" and generate a PDF that I can attach. Below I can generate it with static content like "Hello from pdf" but I can't figure out how to use my "Details" view in ASPNET Core.
public async Task<IActionResult> Email(Guid id)
{
var rs = new LocalReporting().UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary()).AsUtility().Create();
var report = await rs.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest()
{
Template = new Template()
{
Recipe = Recipe.PhantomPdf,
Engine = Engine.None,
Content = "Hello from pdf",
}
});
var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
await report.Content.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return new FileStreamResult(memoryStream, "application/pdf") { FileDownloadName = "out.pdf" };
}

Taken From the JsReport Github Dotnet Example,
[MiddlewareFilter(typeof(JsReportPipeline))]
public IActionResult InvoiceDownload()
{
HttpContext.JsReportFeature().Recipe(Recipe.ChromePdf)
.OnAfterRender((r) => HttpContext.Response.Headers["Content-Disposition"] = "attachment; filename=\"myReport.pdf\"");
return View("Invoice", InvoiceModel.Example());
}
If you want to return a file from Asp.net Core Controller Action method then try the following
[MiddlewareFilter(typeof(JsReportPipeline))]
public async Task<IActionResult> Pdf(Guid id)
{
var serviceOrder = await _serviceOrderService.Get(id);
if (serviceOrder == null) return new NotFoundResult();
var model = _mapper.Map<ServiceOrderModel>(serviceOrder);
HttpContext.JsReportFeature().Recipe(Recipe.PhantomPdf).OnAfterRender((r) =>
HttpContext.Response.Headers["Content-Disposition"] = "attachment; filename=\"out.pdf\"");
return View(model);
}
