HTML PDF API is a cloud service that allows you to convert HTML to PDF using standard web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript).
You can convert HTML to PDF from a raw HTML, compressed file (zip, tar.gz, tgz, tar.bz2) containing all resources (html, images, stylesheets, javascripts and fonts) and from URL.
API is built on the REST concept so it is language agnostic. It can be easily integrated with any programming language that supports HTTP requests.
It uses wkhtmltopdf library for the conversion process. wkhtmltopdf is based on the WebKit browser engine similar to Chrome, Safari and several others. WebKit has been developed by Apple, KDE, Nokia, Google, RIM, Palm, Samsung and others.
