Automate PDFs creation - docMaker

Visit docMaker

docMaker is an API-based PDF generation service that turns DOCX templates, webpage URLs, and PDF forms into finished PDF documents. It handles document rendering on the server side, so data is exchanged server-to-server and is not stored unless requested in an API call, which supports automated document generation from backend workflows.

Documents can be created three ways: from a DOCX template with tags, loops, and nested loops; from a webpage URL with margin and footer options; or by filling a PDF form. Integration is available through the API, a Bubble plugin, Zapier, Make (Integromat), and Typeform, with a dashboard that includes a requests log and error messages. Generated files can optionally be stored for 48 hours.

docMaker is aimed at no-code builders, agencies, and developers generating documents such as invoices from an application backend. It offers a 14-day free trial with a set number of free PDFs and no credit card required. Paid plans are usage-based, tiered by the number of documents created per month, with larger plans handled by contacting support. Payments are processed through Stripe.
