A Node.js microservice that generates PDFs from URLs using headless Chrome, with a queue API, CLI, S3 storage, and webhook notifications. Failed jobs and webhook pings are retried on a configurable decaying schedule.
Use cases
- generate pdf from url
- convert html invoices to pdf
- self-hosted pdf generation api
- queue pdf rendering jobs with webhooks
- store generated pdfs on s3
- headless chrome pdf service
When to choose
- you need a dedicated PDF-generation microservice driven by URLs
- you want queued, retried PDF jobs with webhook callbacks
- you want S3 storage integration out of the box
When to avoid
- you need client-side PDF generation in the browser
- you need PDFs from raw HTML strings without hosting a service
- you need a maintained library rather than a self-hosted service
