Polling endpoints exist for environments that cannot receive callbacks. Output is downloaded from a controlled link; generated files are guaranteed deleted within 24 hours.\n\nRENDERING\nSandboxed headless Chromium driven by Playwright, one isolated browser context per job (no shared state between jobs, downloads and popups disabled). Modern CSS, web fonts and JavaScript-heavy pages render pixel-accurate. Authenticated rendering (basic/bearer credentials for URLs behind auth) is available on Pro and above; credentials are attached only to same-origin requests and encrypted end to end while in transit through the queue.\n\nDELIVERY\nWebhooks are HMAC-signed and available on every plan, including Free. Failed deliveries are retried automatically with a growing backoff and then parked in a dead-letter queue — never lost silently. A rotation-friendly signing model lets you verify signatures without downtime.\n\nBILLING &amp; LIMITS\nTwo published meters per plan: rendered PDFs and generated gigabytes, counted separately. Downloads never debit quota. Files up to 150 MB on every plan. Rate limits and concurrency ceilings are documented per plan; the API answers with RFC 7807 problem details and stable error codes.\n\nTEST MODE\nPass \"test\": true to run the full pipeline — statuses, webhooks, signatures, downloads — without spending quota. A no-account sandbox on the homepage performs a real render before you sign up.\n\nSECURITY\nPer-job browser isolation with Chromium's sandbox enabled; SSRF protection blocks private networks, cloud metadata endpoints and file:// URLs at request and render time; API keys are hashed at rest and support IP allowlists; per-job credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted; TLS everywhere; optional TOTP two-factor authentication on the dashboard; a public status page with live probes.\n\nINTEGRATION\nOfficial typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript (npm), Python (PyPI) and Java (Maven Central), a public OpenAPI specification for the generation endpoints, and copy-paste curl quickstarts.\n\nPLANS\nFree: 100 PDFs and 0.5 GB per month — card verified, never charged. Starter $29/mo (5,000 PDFs / 10 GB), Pro $99/mo (50,000 / 50 GB), Business $449/mo (500,000 / 300 GB, volume add-on $0.55/GB). About 20% off on annual billing; 99.5% SLA on all paid tiers.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/d089a2f8-1db4-40d5-856f-f661347d599a.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2144892/pdfik","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2144892/pdfik#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"offers":{"price":"29","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Document Generation Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1555/document-generation/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"PDFik","position":3,"item":"/software/2144892/pdfik","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2144892/pdfik#breadcrumblist"}]}
