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

OptionTypeDefaultDescription
htmlString-Raw HTML string to render.
urlString-Public URL to render.
pdfFormatStringA4Page size (Letter, A4, A3, etc.)
landscapeBooleanfalseLandscape orientation.
printBackgroundBooleantrueInclude background graphics/colors.
scaleNumber1Zoom level (0.1 to 2).
marginTopString10mmTop margin (units: mm, cm, px).
waitUntilStringnetworkidleWhen to consider navigation finished (load, domcontentloaded, networkidle).
allowExternalRequestsBooleanfalse(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.
