"The best pdf converter for me"

5/5

What do you like best about PDFShift?

pdfshift works very good with my css and it has a decent amount of requests free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

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.

What problems is PDFShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have to send a bill as an attachment in a mail. This bill has quite complex css (relative width and height, position absolute, tables, @page ect.) and I tried first with tcpdf but almost nothing is supported there so I changed to mPDF which was way better but position: absolute didn't work. I struggled many many hours and tried few others but pdfshift works the best with my css and it has a decent amount of requests free! Very cool thank you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dynamic #PDF generation was never easier"

4/5

What do you like best about PDFShift?

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.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

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.

Recommendations to others considering PDFShift:

Just test it out. You'll get 300 converstions for free every month and can increase this without costs if you are doing some steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PDFShift solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to export user data into a good readable format and send it via e-mail to our customers. We were already able to generate a nice looking webpage (HTML) but we needed a PDF to send it to the customers. So we looked how we can accomplish that. Most packages or services are just not that good.. they don't support css or just very old css tags or they require a desktop environment (instead of a headless server).

PDFShift just worked and it's fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nothing is perfect, but PDFShift tends into the right direction"

5/5

What do you like best about PDFShift?

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.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

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).

"Easy Integration - Does Exactly What We Need"

4/5

What do you like best about PDFShift?

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.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

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.
