In their own words
DynamicPDF Cloud API
DynamicPDF Cloud API provides cloud tools for creating and manipulating PDF documents through REST endpoints and client libraries. Its PDF endpoint can create or modify documents, merge PDFs, and make pages from HTML, Word, images, or DLEX templates. Other listed operations include stamping PDFs, adding barcodes, filling forms, converting images to PDF, encryption, and retrieving text and metadata. An online document and report designer is included. Client libraries are listed for Node.js,.NET, Java, PHP, Go, Python, and Ruby. The maker says the API processes documents in real time across 10 geographic zones and routes requests to the closest zone. Endpoints use HTTPS and authentication tokens; endpoint data and generated results are not stored unless users choose cloud storage. The maker advises against calling endpoints directly from an end-user browser because exposed API keys can be misused. The free plan includes 1,000 pages per day, 10MB of cloud storage, community support, 10 global endpoints, and a watermark. Basic costs $19.95 a month.
