I Built a PDF API That Doesn't Use Chrome Most PDF generation APIs spin up a headless browser (Puppeteer, Playwright) to render HTML into a PDF. It works, but it's slow, expensive, and unpredictable. So I built DocForge – a PDF generation API that uses PDFKit directly for deterministic, fast output. How It Works POST /api/generate { "template": "invoice", "data": { "invoice_number": "INV-001", "from": { "name": "Acme Corp" }, "to": { "name": "Client Corp" }, "items": [...], "total": 49.99 } } → Returns a PDF in ~3 seconds Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Why Not Chrome?…
