## Overview

### Key benefits of PDFik

\- No rendering infrastructure to run: replace self-hosted wkhtmltopdf builds or Puppeteer/Chromium fleets with one API call. PDFik operates the browsers, the queue and the scaling; your application only submits jobs and receives results.

- European e-invoicing built in: send your EN 16931 invoice XML and receive a Factur-X / ZUGFeRD hybrid PDF/A-3 with the XML embedded as factur-x.xml — all five profiles, MINIMUM through EXTENDED. The XML is checked against the official XSD before any quota is spent, and output is validated with veraPDF and Mustangproject. The same option attaches your XML to a URL or HTML render, so an existing invoice template keeps working unchanged.

- Predictable costs: two separate published meters — rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes — with downloads never counted. Every limit for every plan is on the pricing page; there is no hidden credit math, and the Free plan starts with no credit card.

- Reliable callbacks: webhooks are HMAC-signed on every plan, including Free. Failed deliveries are retried automatically with a growing backoff and then parked in a dead-letter queue, so a lost callback is visible on PDFik's side rather than silent on yours. Secret rotation with an overlap window (Pro and above) lets receivers verify signatures without downtime.

- Zero-risk integration: a free test mode ("test": true) exercises the whole pipeline — statuses, webhooks, signatures, downloads — without spending quota, ideal for CI and staging environments. A no-account sandbox on the homepage performs a real render before you sign up.

- Large documents on every plan: files up to 150 MB, including the Free tier — invoices, statements, reports and archived pages that break smaller ceilings elsewhere.

- Privacy by design: generated documents are guaranteed deleted within 24 hours; per-job credentials for authenticated rendering are AES-256-GCM encrypted end to end and attached only to same-origin requests.

- Security throughout: Chromium runs with its sandbox enabled in one isolated browser context per job; SSRF protection blocks private networks, cloud metadata endpoints and file:// URLs at request and render time; API keys are hashed at rest and support IP allowlists; optional TOTP two-factor authentication protects the dashboard.

- Faster time to first PDF: official typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript (npm), Python (PyPI) and Java (Maven Central), a public OpenAPI specification, copy-paste curl quickstarts, and an open-source CLI with a wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode for legacy scripts.

- Operational transparency: a public status page with live probes, documented rate limits and stable RFC 7807 error codes, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Polling endpoints exist for environments that cannot receive callbacks. Output is downloaded from a controlled link; generated files are guaranteed deleted within 24 hours.\n\nRENDERING\nSandboxed headless Chromium driven by Playwright, one isolated browser context per job (no shared state between jobs, downloads and popups disabled). Modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages render pixel-accurate. Authenticated rendering (basic/bearer credentials for URLs behind auth) is available on Pro and above; credentials are attached only to same-origin requests and encrypted end to end while in transit through the queue.\n\nE-INVOICING\nPOST /einvoice-to-pdf accepts UN/CEFACT Cross-Industry Invoice XML (EN 16931) and returns a PDF/A-3 hybrid with the XML embedded as factur-x.xml — all five Factur-X / ZUGFeRD profiles, MINIMUM through EXTENDED. The XML is validated against the official XSD before any quota is spent, and output is validated with veraPDF (PDF/A-3b) and Mustangproject. The same einvoice option attaches your XML to a URL or HTML render, so an existing invoice template keeps working unchanged.\n\nDELIVERY\nWebhooks are HMAC-signed and available on every plan, including Free. Failed deliveries are retried automatically with a growing backoff and then parked in a dead-letter queue — never lost silently. Secret rotation with an overlap window (Pro and above) lets receivers verify signatures without downtime.\n\nBILLING &amp; LIMITS\nTwo published meters per plan: rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes, counted separately. Downloads never debit quota. Files up to 150 MB on every plan. Rate limits and concurrency ceilings are documented per plan; the API answers with RFC 7807 problem details and stable error codes.\n\nTEST MODE\nPass \"test\": true to run the full pipeline — statuses, webhooks, signatures, downloads — without spending quota. A no-account sandbox on the homepage performs a real render before you sign up.\n\nSECURITY\nPer-job browser isolation with Chromium's sandbox enabled; SSRF protection blocks private networks, cloud metadata endpoints and file:// URLs at request and render time; API keys are hashed at rest and support IP allowlists; per-job credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted; TLS everywhere; optional TOTP two-factor authentication on the dashboard; a public status page with live probes.\n\nINTEGRATION\nOfficial typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript (npm), Python (PyPI) and Java (Maven Central), a public OpenAPI specification for the generation endpoints, copy-paste curl quickstarts, and an open-source CLI with a wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode.\n\nPLANS\nFree: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month — no credit card required. Starter $29/mo (5,000 PDFs / 10 GB), Pro $99/mo (50,000 / 50 GB), Business $449/mo (500,000 / 300 GB, volume add-on $0.55/GB).
