Show HN: FetchPDF – Custom PDF Designer and API
FetchPDF is a template designer and API to generate PDFs from custom templates. (It's also possible to generate from your own HTML or URLs) The template designer can be shared or embedded, bringing PDF customisation and rendering to your own application with a few simple API calls. Placeholders can be added to templates and replaced with your data when generating via the API.
Background: I was working for a platform that delivered certificates and invoices on behalf of other organisations, but used a single template for everyone. Needless to say, organisations wanted control over the designs and information on their PDF outputs. There was a bit of hacking to get by, but no scalable solution. I built FetchPDF to solve this problem.
My current focus is on getting it out there and growing! The main technologies I used are ASP.NET and Mithril.js
