HTML to PDF Converter for n8n & API

This Apify Actor is a high-performance microservice that converts HTML or URLs into PDF files. It is optimized for automation workflows (n8n, Make, Zapier) by returning a direct download link to the generated PDF.

🚀 Quick Start for n8n

You can easily use this Actor within n8n to generate invoices, reports, or web captures.

Step 1: Trigger the Actor

Use the Apify node in n8n:

Resource: Actor
Operation: Run
Actor: html-to-pdf (or copy the Actor ID if running a custom build)
Input: JSON (see examples below)

Step 2: Download the PDF

The Actor outputs a dataset containing a pdfUrl field. Use an HTTP Request node to download the file:

Method: GET
URL: {{ $json["pdfUrl"] }}
Authentication: Generic Credential Type -> Query Auth
- Name: token
- Value: (Your Apify API Token)

📡 API Usage & Input Examples

When calling this Actor via the Apify API (POST /acts/[ACTOR_ID]/run-sync-get-dataset-items), pass these JSON bodies:

Option A: Convert a Website URL

Best for capturing reports, articles, or dashboards.

{
  "url": "https://admindone.com",
  "pdfFormat": "A4",
  "landscape": true,
  "printBackground": true,
  "waitUntil": "networkidle",
  "fileName": "admindone_report.pdf"
}

Option B: Convert Raw HTML (e.g., Invoices)

Best for generating dynamic documents from your own data.

{
  "html": "<html><body><h1>Invoice #99</h1><p>Total: $100.00</p></body></html>",
  "pdfFormat": "Letter",
  "marginTop": "20mm",
  "marginRight": "20mm",
  "marginBottom": "20mm",
  "marginLeft": "20mm",
  "allowExternalRequests": false
}

📦 Output Format

The Actor produces a structured JSON output in the default Dataset.

Example Response:

[
  {
    "inputType": "url",
    "target": "https://admindone.com",
    "pdfUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/mI5f8.../records/OUTPUT.pdf",
    "fileName": "document.pdf",
    "pdfBytes": 45032,
    "timing": {
      "totalMs": 2300,
      "renderMs": 1500,
      "pdfMs": 600
    },
    "optionsUsed": { ... },
    "timestamp": "2023-10-27T10:00:00.000Z"
  }
]

pdfUrl: The direct link to your generated PDF. (Note: Requires your API token to access).
pdfBytes: File size in bytes.

⚙️ Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`html`	String	-	Raw HTML string to render.
`url`	String	-	Public URL to render.
`pdfFormat`	String	`A4`	Page size (Letter, A4, A3, etc.)
`landscape`	Boolean	`false`	Landscape orientation.
`printBackground`	Boolean	`true`	Include background graphics/colors.
`scale`	Number	`1`	Zoom level (0.1 to 2).
`marginTop`	String	`10mm`	Top margin (units: mm, cm, px).
`waitUntil`	String	`networkidle`	When to consider navigation finished (`load`, `domcontentloaded`, `networkidle`).
`allowExternalRequests`	Boolean	`false`	(HTML only) Allow loading images/scripts from the web.

🛠 Troubleshooting

Blank PDF? If the site uses heavy JavaScript (React/Vue), change waitUntil to networkidle and increase timeoutSecs.
Images missing in HTML? If you use <img src="https://...">, you must set allowExternalRequests: true.
Access Denied on pdfUrl? Ensure you append ?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN to the URL when fetching it outside of the Apify Console.
