The API is simple. GET or POST to an endpoint with a URL or data blob, pass a few parameters at the same time, and have a neatly and true-to-form PDF come back as a response in a few seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It wasn't immediately clear that there was a sandbox option (watermarked PDFs for testing) so I ended up burning through some of my monthly allotment during initial development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to integrate with any stack and also gives the nice option of storing on S3 for a couple of days.
Good documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Haven't come across anything that we don't like so far. It's not complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
pdfshift works very good with my css and it has a decent amount of requests free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly there is nothing I dislike so far. Maybe that it is not completly free but I didn't find a better / cheaper one so it is the best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The simple and intuitive usage. You'll register and get directly an api key. The api is straight forward and good documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing special. Probably I would say the pricing is too high, - but this depends on the viewport I guess. For a big company its a no-brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I tried so many converters and after some mails back and forth, PDFShift does exactly, what i need. The support is super friendly and very quick, so it didn't take long to integrate PDFShift into my existing workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing i noticed when discovering PDFShift a few months ago is, that they include a meta comment that says "Created by PDFShift" (or similar). While this might be okay in most cases, there should be an option (paid?) to remove this information. Not every company (especially those, which are located in the EU) don't want to disclose, that they are using an external service to create their documents (e.g. invoices or other documents, including sensitive informations).

The integration was simple and support was quick to respond to any concerns we had during the initial setup.
It's also great that they offer a sandbox version that we can use in our test environments without getting charged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be great if there was an easy to access dashboard that kept track of usage as well as recently created PDFs. It's not necessary, but it would be nice to ensure all of the recent documents created by PDFShift look correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The API is super easy to use and there is good documentation. I was able to create PDFs in minutes. There are several methods for creating a PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found anything that I really dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Responsive service, good product that succeeds to convert web pages that other converters I checked didn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not being able to send invoices to a different email than account's email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up was super easy. Use the api key and the PHP curl snippet provided on their website, and it worked right away. The dev mode enabled to test for free very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing I have found yet to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation seems pretty straight-forward and the API makes sense overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can’t use it offline. This is a bit of an inherent limitation on any API, but some of our developers are offline when they code. It’s not a huge drawback. I wish I had the chance to evaluate it more. Perhaps some more demonstrated use cases and walkthroughs could help. For example, more on handling images (logos), digital signing, generating from HTML with Bootstrap.
