Print custom reports from your website in less than 5 minutes!

Online PDF Printer is a service that lets developers integrate custom, dynamic PDF creation and downloading into their web-enabled applications with just a few lines of code.

Have you ever had a client ask you to make a bunch of attractive, printable reports from a database and they want them done tomorrow? They probably also gave you nothing more to go on than what the report should contain and a pencil drawing of how it might lay out.

Wouldn't it have been nice if they could have just emailed you a Word document of exactly what the report is supposed to look like, you plug in some variables and instantly have a button in your application to run the report whenever they need it?

With Online PDF Printer, it's really that simple.

How does it work?

All you have to do is sign up for an API key, upload your document templates and POST data to our server. We handle everything else. A stream of PDF data is passed back to your application and you can save it as a file, prompt the user to download it right then and there or push it into a database.

Show me some examples!

Online PDF Printer lets developers implement on-demand PDF generation into your application in three easy steps:

Every document begins with a Word template. In this example, we've got a standard invoice. Notice the mixture of different fonts, sizes, colors and the logo in the top-right. Online PDF Printer allows you to dynamically import just about any data that you need to print.

If we print-preview the document, you can see what to expect your downloaded PDF to look like. The beauty of our service is that what you see -truly is- what you get.

There are no tricks to learn; when you create your documents in a word processor, all you have to do is type in a variable name wherever you want your data to show up. Whether you're populating static data, unknown amounts of dynamic rows, high-resolution images, radio buttons, checkboxes, whatever you need to print, Online PDF Printer keeps it easy to understand and even easier to implement.

Most software that's used for document and report generation requires you to learn a templating language and integrate local services to allow the reports to come out the other end; it really doesn't need to be that difficult!

If you can type into Word and POST some data to a server, your application can print PDFs right now.

Once your document is complete, log in and upload it to your account.

It'll show up in the list of available templates and you're ready to go!

Remember to format your data correctly; variable names from your template correspond to variables POSTed to the server. You can use any socket-enabled programming language to use Online PDF Printer; if you can POST, you can print!

Your PDF will be instantly pushed back to your application where you can save it, send it to a user to download, whatever you need to do.

All it takes are three simple steps.
