What it does

Api2Pdf is a powerful PDF generation API with no rate limits or file size constraints. Generate PDFs from HTML, URLs, images, office documents, and more. Merge PDFs together. Api2Pdf runs on AWS Lambda and provides endpoints for WKHTMLTOPDF, Headless Chrome, LibreOffice, and Merge PDFs.

Simplest and cheapest REST API to generate PDF from HTML, Office Docs, and merge PDFs

The tools you already trust — Headless Chrome, wkhtmltopdf, and LibreOffice — wrapped in one transparent, serverless REST API. Use these starter requests to understand the shape of the API, then jump into the full docs when you are ready. Great for dashboards, invoices, reports, or anything already hosted. Send Office files through LibreOffice without owning the infrastructure. API2PDF exists to make the experience of generating PDFs for application developers not completely miserable. That attitude is part of the brand, not a throwaway joke. Most services hide what they run under the hood. API2PDF does the opposite. Headless Chrome, wkhtmltopdf, LibreOffice, barcode tooling,…from api2pdf.com

    PDF API – Generate, convert, and modify PDF documents2022 · ▲204

    Hi HN, Arek here. We’re super excited to officially launch PSPDFKit API [1]. PSPDFKit API is a collection of HTTP APIs that enable you to convert, generate, and edit documents without running any service on your infrastructure. What differentiates our API from others is that you can chain together multiple “actions” as part of a single API request. For example, you can convert, OCR, watermark, edit, and flatten a document — all in one call. Available actions [2]: - PDF Generator - PDF Converter - Image Converter - OCR - Watermark - Merge - Split - Duplicate - Delete - Flatten Our…

    Hello HN! It kept surprising me how much of a hassle it is to generate a PDF with decent HTML5 rendering from my SaaS apps. I tried several free libs and APIs but ended up with botched rendering a lot of times. So I set out to simplify this chore by creating an AWS hosted HTML to PDF conversion API that's based on Chrome. This API will allow a dev to just send the HTML to our API and get a PDF in response without having to worry about running and managing Chrome somewhere in their infra. I just finished the first version of my landing page and hosted pdf generation API…

    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…
