In their own words
DocRaptor
DocRaptor is a cloud REST API that converts HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents using the Prince PDF converter. It can create PDF forms and accessible PDFs, and supports mixed page sizes, styles, headers, and footers within one PDF. Listed rendering options include page floats, PDF-specific JavaScript, bookmarks, crop marks, CMYK output, and printer’s marks. The service converts HTML to PDF or XLS/XLSX and does not support Zip files or other file formats. DocRaptor says it has no document input or output size limits and charges the same regardless of document size or generation time. Accounts include unlimited watermarked test documents, and a public test key is available without signing up. The Free plan is free and includes 5 documents per month. Basic is $15 a month for 125 documents per month; Professional is $29 a month for 325, Premium is $75 a month for 1,250, and Max is $149 a month for 5,000. The maker says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with retention configurable for permanent deletion after retrieval.
