Elements that are placed in page regions are shared between pages with the exception of CSS generated content such as running headers. Shadows are attached as an XObject image with…

We indeed price starting at $0.005 per document, but have slightly updated the pricing following the good input we received yesterday from the community - hence the slight discrepa…

We support the size[1] property and the widows and orphans[2] spec for both your needs :) [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@page/size [2]: https://developer.mo…

We actually take HTML as an input to our API converter. The React tooling is mostly to ease the barrier with most frontend codebases, as well as leverage the existing ecosystem of …

Really like your approach! We tried to keep things tied to code as much as possible rather than dealing with complex interfaces between changing inputs and outputs. Most legal and …

There are many reasons behind it, to name a few: files are self-contained(*) and easily portable, can guarantee some security features, the format is easily extended, and the ecosy…

You are right in the sense we do not provide a local library. We considered the option but would have brought a lot of challenges to accommodate the various runtimes and device cap…

Yes, Onedoc generates tagged PDFs as long as you add a `title` property to the API call to make the PDF UA/1 compliant.

We bill per document, so the number of pages wouldn't impact the pricing. A 5 pages invoice would come at 1 cent per page. However, it seems that each and every company has differe…

While this may sound a bit counterintuitive (maybe?) we actually pivoted to this field based on YC input and discussions they have had with their previous companies. The multitude …

It is similar to pspdfkit. We add an abstraction layer over the HTML and assets hosting to make it easier to use without having to think too hard about security and serving assets.…

This brings its own set of challenges. Headers and footers are strictly limited in terms of features, you cannot add footnotes, the notion of page spreads is harder to implement. T…

We are currently experimenting with this approach. A good thing about paged.js is that we would be able to provide hot-reload and live preview of files without actually converting …

We actually experimented with Gotenberg! Ultimately it is a layer on top of Chromium for conversion and we were dissatisfied with the results. I am curious so as to how are you han…

We actually provide helpers to do that in our React library https://react.onedoclabs.com/components/shell#pagebreak CSS actually implements the break-before property to control thi…

Yes, we use an API layer on top of PrinceXML with additional polyfills to support modern features. This is a meh solution but it allowed us to iterate quickly and get to work with …

Makes total sense. There is no real requirement to use Tailwind to create the PDFs, we just have grown accustomed to Tailwind :) If you don't use the tag, the browser defaults are …

We quite agree on this - but getting a new alternative out will require a significant critical mass before it can be of any interest. While PDF has its challenges, it remains a lig…

The pricing does go down for larger volumes and is something we still have to narrow down to the exact place that makes sense to companies and is also viable. - We do not force PDF…

We use a dedicated HTML to PDF engine (such as PrinceXML) rather than building on top of a browser. Main issue with browser-backed implementations is that PDFs are often of subpar …

There is both commonalities and differences! Both approaches rely on web technology to provide the layout and are flexible in terms of frameworks and integrations. Where things dif…

It definitely is! Typesetting quality was the main reason we chose not to go down the Puppeteer/headless browser route but rather use a completely separate engine where typography …

This is a good point, and we are still trying to figure out how to price things fairly. Depending on the type of PDF, whether it is a simple receipt or a large multi-pages report, …
