Documentation

PDF Server renders predefined HTML templates to PDF using a headless browser (Chromium/Firefox) driven over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. You author templates, test them with the built-in tester UI, and ship your own image built on the PDF Server base image.

New here? Start with the Quickstart, then author your first template.
