How PDF Generator API works?

Don’t worry about the PDF generation layer in your software - we will handle it.

Users can edit and manage document templates

We provide a workspace logic that allows creating a separate workspace for each of your users where they can store and manage document templates. A new workspace is automatically created whenever you make API requests with a new workspace identifier.

Allow your users to edit document templates

You can embed the document template editor into your application to allow your users to modify their own PDF templates. It is possible to display the editor in a new window/tab or in an iframe.

Powerful Expression language

You can write mathematical and logical expressions to manipulate and customize values displayed in components. Use ternary, arithmetic, bitwise and comparison operators, functions to sum, join and iterate arrays.

Share document templates with your users

You can set up default document templates that can be used as base templates by your users. Whenever they modify a default PDF template a new copy is saved to their workspace.

A wide range of smart components

You can use different components like Text, Table and Barcode and define the formatting for number and date values. It is possible to group, filter and sort lists and tables without a need to modify the data set on the software application side.

Merge PDF template and data via API

Powerful Web API to merge templates with data from your software. Just send the template identifier and JSON data to generate PDF.

Data Security, backed by best practises

We are commited to keep your data safe and we follow the best practices known to us to achieve this goal. We do not save the data used for document generation and in order to comply with data securiity standards like GDPR, we enable you to choose the location where your data is being processed. Read more about our security principles here.

Convert HTML to PDF

Leverage our scalable html to pdf conversion functionality in order to focus all your development time on your core functionality. Building a html to pdf converter is not hard but why waste the time? In addition to that, there are a number of solutions available on the market, but not all of them are capable of generating pdf documents at scale. Learn more about our solution here.

    I would recommend PDF Generator API to everyone that needs to print something into PDF. Think about it: if you are creating software that focuses on accounting then you want to focus on accounting. You shouldn't waste time with coding fancy forms that you can easily drag-drop using PDF Generator API.

    We realized early on that developing a PDF creator in-house wouldn't make any sense when there are well-working solutions such as PDF Generator API available on the market.

    PDF Generator API allows our customers to quickly design and print multiple document template types for Invoice PDFs, Picking/Packing Slips, Drop Notes, Address labels and pretty much any other document. Building a similar functionality in-house would have cost a lot of money in terms of resources.
