small hint: easy-pdf-merge an pdf-merge have some "system-tools-dependencies" I prefer pdf-lib, a plain js tool where you can use Buffers and Typescript support

My Typescript:

import {PDFDocument} from 'pdf-lib'
...

const options: PDFOptions = {
    format: 'A4',
    displayHeaderFooter: true,
    footerTemplate: footerTemplate,
    margin: {
        top: '20mm',
        bottom: '20mm',
    },
}
const page1: Buffer = await page.pdf({
    ...options,
    headerTemplate: '
',
    pageRanges: '1',
})
const page2: Buffer = await page.pdf({
    ...options,
    headerTemplate: headerTemplate,
    pageRanges: '2-',
})

const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.create()

const coverDoc = await PDFDocument.load(page1)
const [coverPage] = await pdfDoc.copyPages(coverDoc, [0])
pdfDoc.addPage(coverPage)

const mainDoc = await PDFDocument.load(page2)
for (let i = 0; i < mainDoc.getPageCount(); i++) {
    const [aMainPage] = await pdfDoc.copyPages(mainDoc, [i])
    pdfDoc.addPage(aMainPage)
}

const pdfBytes = await pdfDoc.save()

// Buffer for https response in my case
return Buffer.from(pdfBytes)
