About
The Apache PDFBox® library is an open-source Java tool for working with PDF documents. This project allows the creation of new PDF documents, manipulation of existing documents and the ability to extract content from documents. Apache PDFBox also includes several command-line utilities. Apache PDFBox is published under the Apache License v2.0. Extract Unicode text from PDF files. Split a single PDF into many files or merge multiple PDF files. Extract data from PDF forms or fill a PDF form. Validate PDF files against the PDF/A-1b standard. Print a PDF file using the standard Java printing API. Create a PDF from scratch, with embedded fonts and images. Save PDFs as image files, such as PNG or JPEG and digitally sign PDF files. See also the export control information related to the encryption features included in Apache PDFBox.

About
PDFik turns URLs or raw HTML into pixel-accurate PDFs through an asynchronous API: submit a job, get a job ID instantly, and receive an HMAC-signed webhook when the PDF is ready — or poll and download. Rendering runs on sandboxed headless Chromium, so modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages come out the way a browser shows them.
Billing has two published meters — rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes — and downloads never count against your data. A free test mode exercises the whole pipeline (statuses, webhooks, downloads) without spending quota. Files up to 150 MB on every plan; generated documents are deleted within 24 hours.
Typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java, a public OpenAPI 3.1 specification, and an open-source CLI with a wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode for legacy scripts. Free plan: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB monthly, no credit card required; paid plans from $29/month. 99.9% uptime SLA.
