PDF Generator API

iText DITO vs PDF Generator API

iText DITO’s pricing is typically quote-based and tailored to enterprise needs, often involving licensing for the iText DITO Manager (for template design and management) and the iText DITO SDK (for document generation, available as a Java SDK or Docker container). Pricing factors include the number of SDK instances, anticipated document volume, support levels, and specific deployment requirements (like on-premises). They offer a free 30-day online trial to evaluate the software.

It lacks the ability to design templates with multiple pages and hide/show pages when/as needed. It is comprised of three parts: an intuitive front-end WYSIWYG template designer, a PDF production SDK/API developed on the esteemed iText 7 SDK, and the new iText DITO Manager to make template creation and resource management easier.

Pricing

No pricing plans are shown for a Cloud option so you would need to ask for a custom plan. This is especially limiting for companies with a smaller number of documents.

Conlusion

It seems the PDF customization and generation tools market is quite abundant and there are many companies battling it out for the attention of customers. However, we also see that PDF Generator API has some features that are unmatched by any of the other platforms. Among other features, we are the only ones that offer our clients support video calls and last, but not least – we are by far the most cost competitive platform among the whole bunch.
