Anvil PDF API

In plain words

Anvil PDF API provides developers with REST endpoints to fill, generate, and electronically sign PDFs programmatically. It simplifies PDF handling tasks that are traditionally complex in web applications. The tool is designed for developers and makers who need to integrate PDF functionality into their applications without managing the underlying complexity of PDF processing.

  Pdf.js Express – PDF annotation, e-signatures, and form filling2020 · ▲334

  Hi HN, Nick here. We're super excited to officially launch PDF.js Express [1]. PDF.js Express wraps a modern React UI around the PDF.js rendering engine to enable PDF annotation, form filling, and signing inside your web app. We've also made some improvements to PDF.js text search, and taken a different approach to how the viewer uses the PDF.js rendering API, resulting in sharp graphics at any zoom magnification [2].

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
