Production-grade PDF APIs that eliminate debugging hell and production failures. Generate documents in milliseconds, extract text with 99.8% OCR accuracy, process files at any scale with 99.9% uptime SLA.
Start Your Free 30-Day TrialYour HTML to PDF conversion works perfectly in development, then mysteriously fails in production with broken layouts. Text extraction returns garbled characters. Performance grinds to a halt under load. Meanwhile, your CEO is asking when the feature will be ready and your credibility is on the line.
The real cost of DIY PDF infrastructure isn't the code. It's the 40+ hours of debugging, the production failures, the angry customers, and the engineering time that should go toward your actual product.
Your HTML to PDF conversion works perfectly in development, then fails mysteriously in production. Customers see broken layouts while you scramble to debug CSS that worked yesterday.
Extracting text from PDFs returns garbled characters, missing content, or completely fails. Tables turn into gibberish. OCR accuracy is inconsistent and document structure gets lost. That 10% failure rate means angry support calls.
CSS that renders perfectly in browsers becomes garbage in your PDFs. Missing fonts, broken responsive layouts, and images that won't load. Every client has a different edge case.
You've tried Puppeteer, wkhtmltopdf, PDFKit, and others. None provide reliable results for your specific use case. Each one breaks in a different, unpredictable way.
Processing large batches of PDF files takes hours instead of minutes. Your servers crash from memory issues and users abandon slow operations. What worked for 100 documents fails at 1,000.
"Free" PDF libraries cost you in infrastructure for rendering servers, ongoing maintenance, debugging time, and the opportunity cost of features you didn't ship.
Three months debugging PDF libraries. Two production incidents. Switched to PDF Technologies and shipped in one afternoon.
I spent 2 weeks trying to get consistent PDF layouts. The CEO kept asking when the feature would be ready. PDF Technologies gave us pixel-perfect rendering that just works.
The text extraction worked on 90% of PDFs. But that 10% failure rate meant angry customers calling support. Now we're at 99.8% accuracy. Support tickets dropped 95%.
Popular PDF libraries like Puppeteer, wkhtmltopdf, and PDFKit seem free. But here's what they actually cost you:
First-time setup and debugging until it "works" in your specific environment. At $100/hour, that's $4,000 in developer time.
Handling edge cases, production failures, and library updates. That's another $200-500 monthly in developer time.
Dedicated servers for PDF rendering, increased memory requirements, processing overhead. Easily $200-800/month.
Features you didn't ship because your team was debugging PDFs. Revenue you didn't generate. Customers you lost.
Production incidents. Broken customer documents. Support tickets. Lost trust with your boss/clients.
Less than the cost of 5 hours of debugging. Zero infrastructure. Zero maintenance. Zero production incidents.
While other solutions rely on fragile browser automation or outdated rendering engines,
we built purpose-designed PDF infrastructure optimized for production workloads.
Battle-tested on millions of documents monthly:
Eliminates the Chrome/Puppeteer overhead that causes 80% of production failures. Our engine is built specifically for PDF generation, not browser automation.
Pre-loads and caches 1,000+ popular fonts to prevent the "missing font" disasters that plague DIY solutions. Your fonts just work.
Processes text extraction 10x faster than single-threaded libraries. 99.8% accuracy even on scanned documents with skew and noise.
We've encountered and handled thousands of edge cases across millions of documents. Your weird PDF probably isn't weird to us.
Handles traffic spikes automatically. Process 100 documents or 100,000 without changing a single line of code. We scale, you don't worry.
99.9% uptime isn't a promise, it's our architecture. Geographically distributed infrastructure with automatic failover. If one region fails, traffic automatically routes to healthy regions in milliseconds.
The result: PDF generation that works the same in production as it did in your tests. Every single time.
Stop fighting PDF libraries. Start shipping features your users actually want.
Most HTML to PDF conversions complete in under one second. Generate a 50-page report in under a second. More complex operations like OCR text extraction take longer but are optimized for accuracy and reliability.
Enterprise-grade infrastructure across multiple regions with automatic failover and 24/7 monitoring. We credit your account if we miss our SLA.
Build once, use everywhere. Store your templates and generate thousands of documents instantly. One customer generated 100K invoices from a single template last month.
From 10 to 10,000 documents without code changes. Our infrastructure automatically scales. You focus on your product, we handle the infrastructure.
Most developers integrate in under 5 minutes with our REST API and SDKs. Live today, not next month. No weeks of debugging and configuration.
SOC 2 Type II compliant. All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Documents deleted within 60 seconds of processing. Never stored, never viewed by humans.

Most developers are generating their first PDF within 5-10 minutes. Our REST API uses standard HTTP requests, and we provide comprehensive documentation with code examples in Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, and Java. No complex setup or dependencies required.
Response times vary by operation. HTML to PDF generation averages under 1 second for typical documents. More complex operations like OCR text extraction take longer to ensure accuracy. We're significantly faster than most self-hosted solutions that can take 3-12 seconds or more for document generation.
Yes, we support all modern CSS features including Flexbox, CSS Grid, custom web fonts, CSS variables, media queries, and responsive designs. Our rendering engine is based on current web standards and matches browser rendering nearly pixel-perfect.
We achieve 99.8% accuracy using a hybrid approach. We first extract native text from PDFs, then use advanced OCR for scanned documents with preprocessing to handle skew correction, noise removal, and image enhancement. We support 180+ languages including complex scripts.
We're SOC 2 Type II compliant with HIPAA options available. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Documents are processed and deleted within 60 seconds, never stored permanently, and never viewed by humans. We can also deploy in your private cloud if required.
Yes! All new users receive 30 days of completely free access with 1,000 API calls included, no credit card required. This gives you plenty of time to thoroughly test our API and integrate it into your application. After the trial, plans start at $79/month.
We send an email alert when you reach 80% of your plan limit. If you exceed your plan, overage is charged at a transparent rate shown in your dashboard. No surprise bills. You can also set hard limits to prevent any overage charges if preferred.
