Originally I was able to pipe to NextApiResponses, as Next moves in the direction of working with the new Response, I'm struggling to understand how I can pipe a stream from say React PDF over to the response.

I did try something like the following but I believe it's being read literally by the interpreter, as it starts saying things like <arbitrary characters> is not a constructor
return new Response(stream.read(), {
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/pdf",
    },
    status: 200,
});
A stream is normally made in React PDF via
const stream: ReadableStream = await ReactPDF.renderToStream(
    <JSX />
);

There was also a ReactPDF.renderToBuffer() option but unsure how to utilise the returned Buffer either
