Description
A PDF library to create, edit, display, and print Acrobat PDF documents. The PDF API is small and fast. It is easy to integrate into your projects and is written entirely 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.
The Viewer Extension allows PDFs to be parsed and converted to bitmaps for display, to be saved as a bitmap image (e.g TIFF) or for printing. Although Java 5 theoretically supports printing PDFs out of the box, results are often poor and support for features like annotations, encrypted documents etc. is incomplete. Our PDF library fills this gap, giving consistent results for all PDFs.
Description
PDFik is an async job API that renders URLs or raw HTML to PDF on sandboxed headless Chromium. POST a page, get a job ID back in milliseconds, and a signed webhook (HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body) fires when the file is ready — polling and direct download endpoints exist too. Failed webhook deliveries are retried with back-off and then dead-lettered rather than dropped.
The tooling is developer-first: typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java; a public OpenAPI 3.1 spec you can feed to any generator; and an open-source, statically-linked CLI whose wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode accepts wkhtmltopdf's own flags — each one mapped, accepted with a warning, or refused with a reason, never silently ignored. A free test mode runs the entire pipeline without touching quota, so CI can verify signatures and download flows for free.
