Who it's for

Built for software teams where PDFs are part of the product

High-volume document generation

Your PDF volume is large or growing fast. Unlimited PDFs with no PDF overage keeps the bill flat as usage grows.

Customer-facing PDF features

Invoices, reports, statements and exports your customers download from your product, where layout quality matters.

Replacing self-hosted Puppeteer / Playwright

You run headless Chromium today and want rendering, retries, and scaling off your team's plate.

Embedded or white-label template editing

Your customers or non-engineers need to adjust templates and branding without a code deploy.

The problem

PDF generation shouldn't become your infrastructure project

It may start as a few lines of code, but production document generation eventually creates infrastructure, reliability and maintenance work for engineering teams.

Self-hosted

What “a few lines of code” turns into

Your app
  • Puppeteer / Playwright
  • Headless Chromium
  • Queues & workers
  • Retries & timeouts
  • Fonts & assets
  • Storage & delivery
  • Monitoring
  • Template changes

Built, run and maintained by your engineering team

With PDF Noodle Production

One API call from your app

Your app
PDF Noodle API

Rendering, queueing, scaling and file storage managed by PDF Noodle

  • PDF via API response
  • Your S3 bucket
  • Webhook to your workflow

Your team owns the integration and the data you send. Chromium, workers, scaling and file storage stop being your team's job.

What's included

Everything between your data and a delivered PDF

Production bundles the rendering, template, embedding and delivery pieces software teams usually build themselves.

Generate at scale

Production throughput with a flat monthly price, from one PDF to large batch runs.

  • Unlimited PDFs, no pdf overage
  • 240 req/min and 100 concurrent requests
  • Synchronous, asynchronous (webhook) and batch endpoints
  • Generate from templates or raw HTML
Async generation docs

Let teams manage templates

Template changes stop being engineering tickets. Product, ops or design can own them.

  • Visual builder with dynamic tables, page breaks and conditional sections
  • Code editor with Handlebars for loops, conditionals and helpers
  • AI-assisted template creation from a prompt or an existing PDF
  • 500 templates included, unlimited users

Build document features into your product

Give your customers document customization without building an editor yourself.

  • White-label template builder embedded in your app via iframe
  • Signed JWT tokens scope each session to a template and customer
  • Each customer keeps their own version and can revert to your default
Embedding guide

Remove document plumbing

Storage, delivery and post-processing come with the API instead of extra services.

  • Direct upload to your own S3 bucket
  • Hosted PDFs with 60 days retention
  • Merge, split, compress, watermark, OCR and more via API
  • SDKs, no-code integrations and an MCP connector

Use cases

Where Production fits

SaaS customer reports

Branded reports, statements and exports generated from your application data.

Field service & inspections

Embedded document products

Your customers manage their own templates and document branding inside your product.

Build vs buy

Your engineers can build PDF infrastructure. The question is whether they should.

Cirdes's company logo

Generating PDFs might seem simple, but at scale, it becomes an extremely labor-intensive process. With pdf noodle, our product team started managing all the PDFs, which made updates easier and allowed our tech team to focus on our company's core business.

Gabriel's company logo

The market PDF Generation tools were outdated, hard to work with, required tons of code, and demanded heavy maintenance. Once we discovered pdf noodle, our development team could finally breathe and our clients are happier with PDFs tailored exactly to their needs.

Built for production workloads

Control where documents live, how long they're kept, and how much traffic you send.

Encrypted in transit

API requests and generated file links are served over HTTPS.

Your storage, your bucket

Send generated PDFs straight to your own S3 bucket instead of hosted storage.

S3 storage guide

Defined data retention

60 days data retention for hosted files on Production.

Rate and concurrency controls

240 req/min and 100 concurrent requests on Production.

Scoped embed access

Embedded editor sessions use JWTs signed with your workspace secret, which you can rotate anytime.

Embedding guide

Public status page

Check live platform status anytime, before and after you go live.

Signed security documents and a custom SLA are available on Enterprise.

Production POC

Test PDF Noodle with one real production workflow

Evaluate against a document your customers actually receive, not a demo template.

  1. 1

    Bring one real document

    An existing PDF, a template, or a description of your current document workflow.

  2. 2

    We help migrate it

    We work with you on the template, data mapping and API integration.

  3. 3

    Test it against your use case

    Validate output quality and the integration with your real data and workflow.

  4. 4

    Move to Production

    If it fits, move onto the $999/month Production plan.

No migration fee for qualified Production evaluations.

Tell us about the document and your current setup. We'll follow up to scope the POC.
