# PDFik

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/564855/PDFik

> PDFik is built for developers and small engineering teams who need to generate PDFs from their own software — invoices, receipts, reports, statements, tickets — without running and patching a rendering stack themselves. If you have ever maintained a wkhtmltopdf build or a fleet of headless Chromium instances just to turn a page into a PDF, PDFik is the managed alternative.

How it works: send a public URL or raw HTML to the API, get a job ID back, and receive a signed webhook the moment the PDF is ready (polling endpoints are available too). Rendering runs on sandboxed headless Chromium, so modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages come out pixel-accurate.

Why teams choose it:

- Predictable, transparent billing. Every plan meters two things separately — rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes — and downloads never count against your quota. Every limit is published on the pricing page; there is no hidden credit math.
- Built-in e-invoicing. If your customers are in Germany or France, send your EN 16931 invoice XML and get back a Factur-X / ZUGFeRD hybrid PDF/A-3 with the XML embedded — checked against the official schema before any quota is spent, and validated with veraPDF and Mustangproject.
- Reliable delivery. Webhooks are HMAC-signed and included on every plan, including Free. Failed deliveries are retried automatically and parked in a dead-letter queue rather than lost.
- Risk-free integration. A free test mode ("test": true) exercises the whole pipeline — statuses, webhooks, signatures — without spending quota, and a no-account sandbox on the homepage lets you try a real render before signing up.
- Large files, short retention. Files up to 150 MB on every plan; generated documents are guaranteed deleted within 24 hours, and per-job credentials are encrypted end to end.
- Ready-made SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java, plus copy-paste curl quickstarts and an open-source CLI with a wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode.

Support: an email help desk on every plan (priority responses on Pro and above), an AI support chat with human escalation on the Business plan, and full documentation at docs.pdfik.net with quickstarts and error-code references. A public status page tracks uptime, and the service carries a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Pricing: the Free plan includes 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month — no credit card required. Paid plans start at $29/month (Starter, 5,000 PDFs / 10 GB), with Pro at $99 and Business at $449, and roughly 20% off on annual billing.
