code:-

let content = fs.readFileSync(process.env.PWD + '/public/html/itc.html');

            let compiled = template(content);
            let todayDate = moment().format('DD-MMM-YYYY');

            let itcPDFCompiled = compiled({
                headername: headerName                   
            });
            let options = {
                format: 'A4',
                "header": { "height": "5mm" },
                "footer": {
                    "height": "8mm",
                    "contents": {
                        default: '<span style="color: #444;float:right;padding:0px 10px;font-size:10px;">' + todayDate + '</span>',
                    }
                }
 };

var requestSync = Meteor.wrapAsync(function (itcPDFCompiled, options, callback) {

  pdf.create(itcPDFCompiled, options).toFile(path + file_name + '.pdf', function (err, res) {
        if (err)
             callback(err);
        else
             callback(null);
     });

});

requestSync(itcPDFCompiled, options);

Did you re-run `meteor npm install` again after the Sierra update? Maybe some changes require the package to be build against the updated environment — Jankapunkt, Jan 18 '18 at 08:03

Same happened to me after upgrading to Mac OS High Sierra. npm install -g phantomjs followed by npm rebuild worked.

This error can be thrown when an underlying library is missing in the system. In my case (mac os x) the missing library was sshpass
