Snappy PDF
A ServiceProvider for Snappy
Laravel Snappy is a Laravel wrapper around the Snappy PDF/Image library, which itself is powered by wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage, allowing you to generate PDFs and images directly from HTML. It lets you take a Blade view, raw HTML string, or file and turn it into a downloadable, savable, or in-browser PDF/image response with just a few lines of code. The package integrates cleanly with the Laravel service container and offers a simple facade/API so you can quickly configure page size, orientation, margins, and other options. Because it relies on wkhtmltopdf, it supports complex HTML and CSS (including many types of fonts, layouts, and images) much better than many pure-PHP solutions. It’s commonly used for invoices, reports, tickets, labels, and any other server-side generated documents where consistent layout matters. The package is widely used in the Laravel ecosystem and has community documentation, tutorials, and integrations with other tools and CMSs based on Laravel. -

A Node queue API for generating PDFs using headless Chrome
pdf-bot is a Node.js microservice designed to automate the generation of PDF documents from web pages using headless Chrome. The project provides a queue-based API that allows developers to submit URLs for PDF generation, which are then processed asynchronously by the service. Once a document is generated, the system can notify external applications through webhooks, enabling integration with other backend systems or automation pipelines. The service is particularly useful for generating documents such as invoices, reports, and archived web content in a reliable and scalable way. PDF Bot also supports integration with cloud storage services like Amazon S3, allowing generated files to be stored and distributed automatically. The architecture separates the PDF rendering engine from application logic, making it easy to deploy as a standalone service within larger systems. -

Minimal PDF creation library
tinypdf is a minimal, zero-dependency PDF generation library that focuses on the core “put content on a page” use case while intentionally skipping heavyweight features. It is designed to be extremely small and approachable, making it a good fit when you want to generate real PDFs in Node/TypeScript without pulling in a large toolkit.

It also supports clickable links so generated documents can include interactive URLs, and it can create multi-page documents with custom page sizes. A notable convenience is built-in markdown-to-PDF conversion for common structures like headers and lists, letting you go from formatted text to a PDF layout quickly.
