# 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.
- 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.

Support: email help desk, in-dashboard chat, and full documentation at docs.pdfik.net with quickstarts and error-code references. A public status page tracks uptime, and paid plans carry a 99.5% SLA.

Pricing: the Free plan includes 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month (card verified, never charged). 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.
