Introducing: Documentero, a cloud-based documents service that helps you with document automation.
Turn your documents into templates that can generate .docx or .pdf documents using API or shareable forms.
Supports a variety of template features like dynamic fields, formulas, conditional sections & dynamic images Create a template online with our editor or upload it from a computer (.docx) Supports Word (.docx) & PDF output format Best in-market PDF/Word parser under the hood -- create consistent documents Easy to use & set up -- no coding required
Additional features:
Embed a document generation form into your website. Ability to pass HTML formatted fields to document Dedicated plugin for Bubble.io no-code app development platform Integration with OpenAI ChatGPT - Prepare document data using OpenAI prompt ( API Key Required )
This was the only solution that relied on docx document templates so I didn't have to use some online tool-specific editor to redo my templates from scratch. Service is fast and modern. Documentation could be better but support is responsive so no problems here. Connected with my workflow using make.com

TCPDF has full support for rendering an EPS into a PDF. It can be fussy. https://tcpdf.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
Idk what’s the big problem. Maybe it’s just something like https://tcpdf.org ? Using that for years. Source: about 1 year ago
Running a headless browser to render HTML is a resource intensive task. If you only need to generate simple documents, you're better off using a tool that generates PDF directly. In the old days we used FPDF and its successors (TCPDF was the most popular). Both seem to have recent releases. There's also mPDF , that seems to be another child of FPDF. Source: over 1 year ago
You may want to look at a PDF library (Python/PHP/Perl/Java, etc.) You can do all you mention with a lot of flexibility. Tcpdf comes immediately to mind, there is also a Python port. If you want to learn a language, I recommend python. Learning how to make a basic program when it is something that you want, and you know what you want is a great way to learn.

The original site still has it available for download, but most importantly, a ton of examples and documentation, that while I haven't tried the github version, probably works based on the same as the old. Source: about 2 years ago
