About
PDF library for creating, editing, displaying and printing Acrobat PDF documents. The PDF API is small, fast, easy to use and integrate into your projects, and is completely written in Java.
The API has been designed so you don't need to know the PDF specification in order to create PDFs. We hide as much of the gory details as possible but still give you almost complete control over the PDF itself. Where possible we re-use standard Java classes - for example the pages are stored in a java.util.List, which can be manipulated any way you like (so moving pages from one document to another is a breeze). This means an API which is smaller and easier to remember.

About
PDFik is an asynchronous API that turns public URLs or raw HTML into pixel-accurate PDFs. Submit a job, receive a job ID, and get an HMAC-signed webhook when the PDF is ready — polling endpoints exist too. Rendering runs on sandboxed headless Chromium, so modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages render correctly.
Key capabilities: signed webhooks with automatic retries and a dead-letter queue on every plan, including Free; two published billing meters (rendered PDFs and generated GB, counted separately — downloads never debit quota); a free test mode ("test": true) that exercises the full pipeline without spending quota; files up to 150 MB on every plan; guaranteed deletion of generated documents within 24 hours; per-job credentials encrypted end to end; official SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java plus a public OpenAPI spec.
Free plan: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month, card verified and never charged. Paid plans from $29/month with a 99.5% SLA.
