GrabzIt can be used to capture web pages and HTML. The data in web pages as well as the metadata about web pages!!
To do this we created a Screenshot Tool and Capture API that can convert any URL or HTML snippet into a image, rendered HTML, DOCX or PDF document. Services were also provided to convert online videos into animated GIF’s and to extract and convert HTML tables from web pages into a useful data format. To make this functionality even easier to use we created a series of plugins that can be easily added to blogs and websites with little or no coding knowledge.
Our Screenshot Tool can also be used for Web Archiving and to verify what a web page looked at a particular point in time using a time stamp server and file signatures.
Next, GrabzIt’s Web Scraper was created to make it possible to extract data and files from the web pages and PDF documents and transform it into a easy to use format such as a CSV or Database Export. The Web Scraper follow links in the web page like a normal user, however it uses multiple browser instances and IP addresses to speed up the web scraping process.
As our Web Scraper is integrated with our capture technology it can be used to crawl a website and convert every visited web page into a PDF or image for example. Additionally an API was added to the Web Scraper to allow it to be controlled by third party applications and to enable the integration of scrape results directly into an app.
Finally, we have made it possible to analyse the performance of websites and monitor this performance over time.
Only DocRaptor's HTML-to-PDF API has these advanced styling and layout capabilities:
Instead of a separate HTML file, DocRaptor headers and footers are part of your document HTML. And easily show (or hide) different headers and footers for different pages.
DocRaptor lets you control the style, sizing, headers, and layouts of individual pages in your document. You can even style left and right pages differently, or the first and last pages.
DocRaptor lets you make PDFs with advanced CSS layout tools, including flexbox. You won't need to radically adjust your website to get a great PDF.
Create more accessible PDFs by using PDF profiles PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-3a, or PDF/UA-1. Tagged PDFs optimize the reading experience for assistive technology such as screen readers.
Our rendering engine was built specifically for making PDFs and we fully support CSS3 Paged Media. This allows much greater control over page breaks, especially when dealing with tables and images.
Add crop marks, specify PDF bookmarks, or create standards-compliant documents.
We back our API with a 99.999% uptime guarantee. If you need reliability, DocRaptor is the service you can trust. We also have no limits on document input or output size.

I've been using it for a while. It's great to create contracts.
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.
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.
Based on our record, DocRaptor seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 4 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
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].

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: over 1 year ago
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.
