PDF Bot
Generate PDFs through a Node.js queue API with PDF Bot, which supports a CLI, S3 storage, and webhooks.
About PDF Bot
PDF Bot is a Node.js microservice that you install on your own server to generate PDFs with headless Chrome. Your application sends it a URL through the API or CLI, and it places the job in a queue. When a PDF is ready, the file location is sent back to your application by webhook. S3 storage is supported for saving the files. It suits developers whose application creates documents such as invoices.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
