TompisAPIs introduces its powerful HTML to PDF API, designed to provide developers, SaaS owners, and entrepreneurs with a high-fidelity, secure, and incredibly flexible tool for all their document generation needs.

Forget the complexities of server-side rendering or unreliable client-side solutions. Our API streamlines the entire process, allowing you to transform HTML source code or files into pixel-perfect PDFs with ease. This blog post will dive deep into the features, benefits, and myriad use cases of our HTML to PDF API, showing you how it can revolutionize your content management and delivery.

Our HTML to PDF API is engineered for performance and versatility, offering a suite of features that cater to a wide range of applications:

• Flexible Input Options: Whether your HTML content resides in a file or is a raw string, our API handles it seamlessly. You can submit your HTML via a .html or .htm file upload using the html_file parameter, or paste it directly as plain text using the html_text parameter. This dual input method ensures maximum convenience for various workflows.
• High-Fidelity Rendering: Powered by WeasyPrint, our API guarantees top-tier conversion accuracy. This means your PDFs will retain the layout, styling, and visual integrity of your original HTML, ensuring a professional and consistent appearance every time.
• Diverse Output Formats: Beyond just generating a PDF, our API offers flexible response types:
  • Direct PDF Download (response_type: pdf, default): Receive the generated PDF file directly, perfect for immediate downloads.
  • Base64 Encoded PDF (response_type: base64): Get the PDF as a base64 string within a JSON object, ideal for integrating into web applications or databases.
  • ZIP Archive (response_type: zip): Download a ZIP file containing both the generated PDF and the original HTML source, excellent for archiving and auditing purposes.
• Custom Filenames: Easily specify the output PDF filename with the filename parameter, ensuring organized document management.

The applications for a reliable HTML to PDF converter are virtually limitless. Our API empowers businesses to:

• Generate Dynamic Reports and Invoices: Convert real-time HTML reports, financial statements, or automatically generated invoices into professional, print-ready PDFs for clients and internal stakeholders.
• Archive Web Content: Preserve snapshots of web pages, legal documents, or crucial online content for compliance, historical records, or offline access. This is especially useful for news agencies, legal firms, and research institutions.
• Automate Email Archiving: Transform HTML-formatted emails into standardized PDF archives, making them easily searchable and shareable without relying on email clients.
• Create Downloadable Resources: Convert blog posts, articles, e-books, or product documentation from HTML into attractive PDF files that users can download and read offline.
• Streamline User-Generated Content: Allow users to download their profiles, created content, or form submissions as formatted PDFs directly from your application.
• Enhance Educational Platforms: Convert online course materials or interactive lessons into printable PDF handouts for students.

By automating these processes, you save valuable development time, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistent document quality.

Integrating our HTML to PDF API into your existing applications is straightforward, requiring a simple POST request to our dedicated endpoint: /api/pdf-toolkit/html2pdf/. We provide clear documentation and example requests, including how to use multipart/form-data for file uploads or application/x-www-form-urlencoded for direct HTML text. This developer-friendly approach minimizes your integration effort.

Security and reliability are paramount. Our API includes robust measures to protect your data and ensure stable performance:

• Content Limits: We support HTML content up to 10 MB and file uploads up to 50 MB, accommodating a wide range of document sizes.
• Filename Sanitization: All output filenames are rigorously sanitized to prevent directory traversal attacks.
• XSS/Injection Protection: For your security, our system automatically rejects potentially dangerous HTML tags like <script>, <iframe>, and <embed>, safeguarding against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and other injection vulnerabilities.
• Clear Error Handling: Our API returns precise error codes and messages for common issues such as missing input, invalid HTML structure, oversized content, or timeouts, enabling you to debug and handle failures effectively.
