@ismasan rad!
Hi,
I need to generate PDF instead of the image file. When i tried with 'PDF' to renderBase64, it doesn't work. Thanks.

Yup. Built the 1.6 branch and that works.
page.open(url, function (status) {
console.log(page.renderBase64('PNG'))
phantom.exit();
});
So now I in a node server I can spawn this as a child process, listen to it's 'data' event, encode it back to binary and pipe it to the HTTP response. Obviously sending caching headers and caching on Cloudfront, Varnish, etc.
Voila!
