   Great app - resolves the limitations of other doc/merge apps

   We wanted an app that would allow for custom branding and layout, the font of our choice, and merge fields across our main SF objects. Previously we used DocGen, which led to a morass of configuration to put fields in exactly the place they needed to be for the tables, as well as a bunch of SOQL queries to manage conditional logic. The VF doc generator can't accommodate the fonts we use in our branding. And so DocRaptor has been the perfect solution.

   Our developer built the contracts, and we went live within weeks with complete branding, flexibility in the data merges (we were able to remove a ton of bad config) and it's easy to manage.

   👍 Pros:    Flexible|Great customer support|Super fast

   The best HTML to PDF solution

   I have been using DocRaptor for 6 years, both for my professionnal and personnal projects. After trying several free and/or open source HTML to PDF solutions, I was happy to find this service. It's the most efficient solution, which generates the most accurate PDF documents.

   Since it's a SaaS service, there is nothing to install, no library dependencies nor experimental software that you're not sure it will be supported in the future.

   There is a lot of options and CSS rules to dig in if you want to get PDF files that exactly matches what you want. But the other solutions I tried didn't have these options, and the result was not good enough.

   🏁 Competitors: pdfmatrix.com, SelectPdf, pdflayer, Api2Pdf, PDFCrowd

   👍 Pros:    Simple api|No dependencies|Best pdf result|A lot of options to help you create the pdf you need|Good customer support

   👎 Cons:    A lot of css rules to learn if you want to get the perfect pdf of your dreams... but at least these rules exist!

• Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs

  It sounds like this is as advanced as DocRaptor[1]. They have what I consider to be the best PDF generation API, giving complete control over the documents you need to create. The pricing is similar. If you'd rather do it for free weasyprint[2] is the best open source alternative. Another more affordable option you might want to consider is Urlbox[3].

• How do you generate PDF reports from HTML?

  We built the DocRaptor API to let developers have affordable access to the commercial Prince PDF engine. We have Node code examples throughout the documentation. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the best online HTML to PDF converter?

  I'd argue our service, DocRaptor, is the best because it's the only one powered by the Prince PDF engine. Unlike open-source, browser-based conversion engines, Prince was custom-built just for converting HTML into PDFs and offers a lot of unique functionality for making more complex PDFs.

• Is it possible to render a RazorPage (inc. CSS) to a PDF file and download via WebAPI?

  I work for https://docraptor.com, which is an HTML to PDF API. We have a C# agent. Source: about 3 years ago

• How often you do this ? Heard/saw a bad idea/product/business plan and thought it wouldn't work but still encouraged/reacted positively to the people behind it? This is in person (not online).

  I do this all the time. I know it's not the best thing to do. I don't know why, but I feel too ashamed to tell someone I know that the idea is not good enough. Or to even point out that it needs some improvements to become profitable. The funniest thing is that I've studied business and management. Now, I work in one company as a project manager and coordinator. I still have no idea how I've got this job. But my... Source: over 2 years ago

• Apply new job, or apply internally to a position which manager encouraged me to apply?

  If I were you, I would apply for a permanent internal role. As for me, it is better to stay in your current job and try to build a career there. I see that you like it there, and your teammates must be okay. But it is just my opinion. Perhaps, I’m too afraid to try something new. Besides, it took me a while to find something suitable for me. But, after my long attempts, I found my dream job, where my colleagues... Source: over 2 years ago

• I've already asked my boss for a raise/performance bonus due to my extra work, and he's giving me more. What the f*ck do I do?

  As far as I’ve got it, the company you are currently working for has some financial troubles. Shit happens, but this might be temporary. Perhaps they are not making any profit or even went into debt. That’s why they’ve started all job cuts, and they might simply not have money to give you a raise. Well, there are two possible scenarios, either they will shut down soon, and you will have to look for a new job... Source: over 2 years ago

• Serious question, starting a new e-scooter rental business. Meeting with the director of transportation this week, what are some topics that should be discussed that may have not been thought about?

  I absolutely agree that Reddit is not the best place to ask for a piece of advice. Still, some people can share some brilliant ideas here. You are not forced to strictly follow all recommendations written here. But, at least you can find out what people think about your product or business idea. In my opinion, the first question that needs to be raised on the table is about safety. You need to find out what kind... Source: over 2 years ago
