"Great SAAS tool for converting HTML to PDF"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDFShift?

I like the fact that you can just send a source URL and include a authentication cookie and then you have a good looking PDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

I have a few issues getting the X-Response-StatusCode header working, and there seem to be some delay with customer support (but I'm still on the free tier so it's totally understandable). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Built for those that don't want to deal with the hassle of PDF generation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PDFShift?

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.

What do you dislike about PDFShift?

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.

"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.

"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).
