Before you connect
Questions about PDFShift.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can PDFShift handle websites with complex JavaScript?
Yes, it renders the page just like a browser would, so it handles modern web layouts and scripts perfectly.
Can I save my own layouts for repeated use?
You can use the template system to save HTML structures, then just tell your agent to fill them with new data.
Does it support different image formats?
Yes, it can convert web content into JPEG, PNG, and WebP, depending on what your workflow requires.
How do I get the files into my own cloud storage?
The Connector can export your generated documents directly to S3 or Google Cloud Storage automatically.
Can I get a URL for the PDF instead of a raw file?
Yes, if you provide a filename, the capability returns a JSON response with a direct S3 URL.
Is there a way to see my conversion history?
You can ask your agent to list your recent logs to see status codes and processing times for your last few requests.
Can I test the conversion without spending my credits?
Yes. Use the sandbox parameter set to true in capabilities like convert_to_pdf. This generates a watermarked document for development purposes at no credit cost.
How do I generate a document using a saved template?
First, ensure your template is created using create_template. Then, use generate_from_template providing the template slug and the dynamic data you want to inject.
Can I capture a full-page screenshot as an image?
Absolutely. Use convert_to_png, convert_to_jpeg, or convert_to_webp and set the fullpage parameter to true to capture the entire scrollable area.
