What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

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
