Convert webpages, dashboards, reports, invoices, and authenticated app screens into clean downloadable PDFs.

This Apify Actor is built for anyone who needs a reliable URL to PDF converter for automation workflows, reporting, archiving, client deliverables, or printable web content. It supports simple one-page exports and more advanced document generation from JavaScript-heavy or logged-in pages.

Great for

  • saving webpages as PDF
  • exporting dashboards and analytics views
  • generating invoice or contract PDFs from web apps
  • archiving articles, landing pages, and reports
  • producing compliance-friendly PDFs with metadata, PDF/A, or PDF/UA options

Under the hood it uses Gotenberg Chromium and exposes advanced controls in Apify, including:

  • page size, margins, landscape, scale, single-page mode
  • print backgrounds, screen vs print media emulation, emulated media features
  • JavaScript waits (waitDelay, waitForExpression, waitForSelector)
  • cookies and custom HTTP headers for authenticated pages
  • strict failure rules for HTTP status codes, resource loading, and console exceptions
  • header and footer HTML
  • document outline, tagged PDFs, PDF/A, PDF/UA, metadata, flattening, encryption
  • embeds/attachments
  • split, watermark, stamp, and rotate post-processing

Input

Use url for one page or urls for several pages in one run.

Minimal example

{
"url":"https://example.com"
}

Backgrounds + JS wait

{
"url":"https://example.com/dashboard",
"printBackground":true,
"waitForSelector":"#app-ready",
"outputFilename":"dashboard-export"
}

Authenticated page with cookies

{
"url":"https://app.example.com/invoice/123",
"cookies":"[{\"name\":\"session\",\"value\":\"abc\",\"domain\":\"app.example.com\",\"path\":\"/\",\"secure\":true,\"httpOnly\":true}]",
"printBackground":true
}

Header/footer HTML

{
"url":"https://example.com/report",
"headerHtml":"<html><head><style>html{-webkit-print-color-adjust:exact;font-size:16px;margin:0 20px;}</style></head><body><p>Monthly Report</p></body></html>",
"footerHtml":"<html><head><style>html{-webkit-print-color-adjust:exact;font-size:16px;margin:0 20px;}</style></head><body><p>Page <span class=\"pageNumber\"></span> of <span class=\"totalPages\"></span></p></body></html>"
}

Watermark + PDF/A

{
"url":"https://example.com/contract",
"watermarkSource":"text",
"watermarkExpression":"CONFIDENTIAL",
"watermarkOptions":"{\"opacity\":0.18,\"rotation\":45,\"points\":48}",
"pdfa":"PDF/A-3b",
"pdfua":true,
"generateTaggedPdf":true
}

Attach files into the PDF

{
"url":"https://example.com/invoice",
"embeds":"[{\"url\":\"https://example.com/factur-x.xml\",\"fileName\":\"factur-x.xml\",\"mimeType\":\"text/xml\",\"relationship\":\"Alternative\"}]"
}

Important notes

1. Asset-based features use URLs in this actor

Apify actor inputs do not provide a native file-upload widget.

Because of that, file-backed Gotenberg features are exposed through URL-based inputs:

  • embeds expects attachment URLs
  • watermarkFileUrl downloads the watermark image/PDF
  • stampFileUrl downloads the stamp image/PDF
  • headerHtml and footerHtml accept inline HTML strings

2. Some runs return ZIP instead of PDF

If you use split post-processing and Gotenberg returns multiple files, the actor stores a ZIP in the default key-value store instead of a single PDF.

3. Private-network targets are blocked by default

For safety, the bundled Gotenberg service starts with private-IP access disabled. This actor is meant for public web URLs, authenticated web apps, and downloadable public assets, not intranet SSRF-style access.

Output

Each successful item includes:

  • requestedUrl
  • gotenbergTrace
  • outputType (pdf or zip)
  • output.key
  • output.fileName
  • output.sizeBytes
  • output.url

Generated files are stored in the default key-value store.

Standby mode

The actor also exposes a lightweight standby API:

  • GET /
  • GET /convert?url=https://example.com&printBackground=true
  • POST /convert with JSON body
