HTML to PDF

Convert HTML to PDF. Also supports HTML templates.

Input

The Zapier action doesn’t expose every PDF.co API parameter as a field. To pass a parameter that isn’t shown, put it under std_params in the Custom Profiles field (see Custom Profiles below). For example, to add a repeating header and footer to every page:

{ "std_params": { "header": "<div>My Header</div>", "footer": "<div>My Footer</div>" } }

This works for any standard parameter listed in the API Reference. See Standard Parameters for details.
