Generate PDF Invoices with HTML2PDFAPI

Why Use an API for Invoice Generation?

How It Works

1. 1

   Create Your Invoice Template

   Design your invoice using HTML and CSS. Use your existing styles or start from scratch.

2. 2

   Inject Dynamic Data

   Use your template engine (Handlebars, EJS, etc.) to insert customer details, line items, and totals.

3. 3

   Call the API

   Send the rendered HTML to HTML2PDFAPI and receive a pixel-perfect PDF.

4. 4

   Deliver to Customer

   Email the invoice, provide a download link, or store it in your S3 bucket.

Code Example: Generate an Invoice

// Node.js - Generate Invoice PDF
const response = await fetch('https://html2pdfapi.com/render', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    html: invoiceHtml,
    format: 'pdf',
    options: {
      format: 'A4',
      margin: { top: '20mm', bottom: '20mm', left: '15mm', right: '15mm' },
      printBackground: true
    }
  })
});

const pdfBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
