PDF Generation API
Convert any web page to high-quality PDF documents programmatically. Full JavaScript rendering, viewport control, and reliable output for invoices, reports, compliance documentation, and content preservation.
The PDF generation challenge.
Converting web pages to PDF seems straightforward, but dynamic content, complex layouts, and authentication barriers make programmatic PDF generation a persistent engineering challenge.

How PDF generation works.
Convert any web page to PDF in three steps.
Send a Scrape API request
Use the Scrape API with response_type=pdf and provide the target URL. Optionally configure viewport dimensions for the browser rendering, wait conditions to ensure dynamic content is loaded, and custom headers or cookies for authenticated pages. A single API call is all it takes.
Browser renders & converts
Ujeebu launches a headless Chromium browser, navigates to the URL, executes all JavaScript, waits for content to fully load, and converts the rendered page to PDF using Chrome's built-in PDF printing engine. This ensures perfect CSS rendering, proper fonts, and accurate layout in the output document.
Receive the PDF document
Get the PDF back as binary, or base64-encoded inside a JSON response with json=true. The PDF preserves all visual elements including images, charts, and styling.

Full-page PDF
Generate PDFs that capture the entire page content, properly paginated and formatted. Long pages are automatically split across multiple PDF pages with intelligent page break handling to avoid cutting text or images mid-element.
Viewport control
Set the browser viewport with window_width and window_height before conversion, so responsive pages render at the layout you want. The PDF uses Chrome's default page format.
JavaScript execution
Full Chromium-based JavaScript rendering converts even the most complex SPAs and dynamic web applications to PDF. React, Vue, Angular, and any JavaScript framework is fully supported with complete DOM rendering.
Wait conditions
Wait for a specific selector, a number of milliseconds or a custom JavaScript condition (wait_for) before generating the PDF. Ensure charts are rendered, data tables are loaded, and all async content is present in the final document.
Scroll support
Set scroll_down=true (with js=true) to scroll through the page and trigger lazy-loaded content and infinite scroll sections before PDF generation. Capture the complete page content, not just what's initially visible.
Proxy support
Access geo-restricted or protected content with premium, residential or mobile proxies (proxy_type), with country targeting on premium proxies (proxy country is available on paid plans and top-up packs). Generate PDFs from publicly accessible web pages worldwide.
