Hi PH community! I’m the maker of HookPDF.
As a developer, I’ve always found PDF generation to be a major pain point. We’ve all been there: either struggling with old-school libraries that don’t support modern CSS (goodbye Flexbox!), or trying to manage heavy Puppeteer/Chromium instances that eat up server RAM and crash in production.
I built HookPDF to be the "middle ground" I always wanted. It’s designed to decouple your document design from your backend logic.
What makes HookPDF different?
Modern CSS Support: If it works in Chrome (Flexbox, Grid, etc.), it works in HookPDF.
Developer Experience: We focus on making the API integration as smooth as possible.
No Server Management: Stop worrying about scaling headless browsers. We do the heavy lifting.
Template Gallery: Start with our pre-built templates for invoices, tickets, and letters.
We are currently in our early stages and I would love to get your honest feedback. What features are missing? What’s your biggest struggle with PDFs?
You can try it for free. No credit-card required for free plan.
Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🚀
