Unlock Seamless Conversions: Transform Your HTML into Professional PDFs with Our Powerful API

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, converting dynamic web content into static, printable documents is a common and critical requirement for businesses, developers, and entrepreneurs alike. Whether it's generating invoices, reports, e-books, or archived web pages, the need for high-quality, professional PDF conversions from HTML is paramount.

Enter TompisAPIs's HTML to PDF API – a robust, developer-friendly solution designed to seamlessly transform your HTML source code or files into stunning, print-ready PDFs. Say goodbye to manual formatting headaches and inconsistent outputs. Our API empowers you to automate PDF generation with precision and ease, ensuring your documents look exactly as intended.

Our HTML to PDF API stands out with its exceptional rendering capabilities and versatile output formats. Built upon high-fidelity rendering technology like WeasyPrint, it ensures that your HTML, including CSS styling and complex layouts, is accurately translated into a pixel-perfect PDF document. This means your visual design integrity is maintained from web to print.

Core Functionality:

• Direct HTML Input: Easily paste your HTML code directly into the html_text parameter. Ideal for dynamic content generated on the fly.
• File Upload Support: Prefer to work with files? Simply upload an .html or .htm file using the html_file parameter. The API intelligently processes your uploaded content.
• Flexible Response Types: We offer multiple ways to receive your converted PDF, allowing you to choose the best fit for your application:
  • pdf (Default): Receive the PDF file directly as a download, perfect for immediate user access.
  • base64: Get the PDF content encoded as a base64 string within a JSON response, ideal for embedding or further programmatic handling.
  • zip: Receive a convenient ZIP archive containing both the generated PDF and your original HTML source file, excellent for archiving and verification.

Beyond basic conversion, our HTML to PDF API offers powerful parameters that give you granular control over the output. You can customize various aspects of the generated PDF to meet your specific requirements, enhancing both utility and user experience.

Powerful Parameters Include:

• filename: Define the name of your output PDF file. This parameter allows you to assign a descriptive and user-friendly name, such as "invoice_2023.pdf" or "report_Q4.pdf". By default, the API names the file output.pdf, but custom naming adds a professional touch.
• response_type: As mentioned, this crucial parameter (accepting "pdf", "base64", or "zip") dictates how the converted PDF is delivered. Whether you need a direct download for a user, a base64 string for embedding into a web application, or a complete archive for record-keeping, our API has you covered.

The API prioritizes intelligent processing: if you provide both html_file and html_text, the uploaded file will take precedence, ensuring clarity and avoiding conflicts.

The applications of a reliable HTML to PDF API are vast and impactful across various industries and digital products. Here's how our API can empower your operations:

• Automated Report Generation: Convert dynamic HTML reports from your dashboards or databases into presentable PDF documents for stakeholders, clients, or internal review.
• Invoice and Receipt Creation: Instantly generate professional, branded PDF invoices and receipts from your e-commerce platform or billing system.
• Digital Archiving: Preserve web pages, articles, or rich-text content as uneditable PDFs for legal compliance, knowledge management, or offline access.
• User-Generated Content Conversion: Allow users to download their profiles, customized documents, or rich-text editor outputs as PDFs directly from your application.
• Email Template Conversion: Transform HTML email templates into PDF versions for easy sharing, printing, or record-keeping.
