Why people use PDFShift

PDFShift for automated PDF generation and web-to-image conversion

You just give it a URL or a block of HTML, and it handles the rendering, the headers, the footers, and the complex JavaScript. You get a polished, production-ready file every time without ever touching a server configuration.
