v2 Officially Released

July 10th, 2021 / by api2pdf /

This is a major release which contains breaking changes. You can remain on the older version of the API if you wish to keep using v2018.api2pdf.com. Upgrade is not required, though recommended. We will continue to run the older version of the API indefinitely.

Feature Set:

Chrome

  • HTML to PDF, URL to PDF with added delay and puppeteer features

Wkhtmltopdf

  • HTML to PDF, URL to PDF. Added ability to autogenerate Table of Contents.

LibreOffice

  • Convert any file to PDF (no change here, but better support for .msg and .eml files)
  • (new) Generate an image preview / thumbnail preview of a PDF, Word, Powerpoint, or any other file that LibreOffice can reasonably open. This is fantastic if you want to generate an image preview for your users.
  • (new) HTML to Docx. Now create Word files from HTML!
  • (new) HTML to Xlsx. Create an excel file if you have a well designed HTML with tables!
  • (new) PDF to HTML. Kind of a weird endpoint, but helpful if you want to strip text from a PDF and index the contents.

  • (new) ‘Password’ endpoint. Now password protected PDFs with this endpoint.
