Show HN: ThePDFApi, a Chrome Based PDF Generation API Hosted on AWS Hello HN! It kept surprising me how much of a hassle it is to generate a PDF with decent HTML5 rendering from my SaaS apps. I tried several free libs and APIs but ended up with botched rendering a lot of times. So I set out to simplify this chore by creating an AWS hosted HTML to PDF conversion API that's based on Chrome. This API will allow a dev to just send the HTML to our API and get a PDF in response without having to worry about running and managing Chrome somewhere in their infra. I just finished the first version of my landing page and hosted pdf generation API ( https://thePdfApi.com ) and would love to have some feedback on the following points: - is it clear upon viewing the landing page what the product is about? - are there any questions that you have that are not answered on the page? I'm thinking about adding an FAQ once the first questions pop up. - would this product provide value to you if your startup needed to generate PDFs? If not, what would you use instead? Thanks for helping a fellow hacker out. https://thePdfApi.com May 29, 2018 at 07:21PM
