Yobi365 PDFBuilder: reliable document rendering with predictable output
PDFBuilder is a dedicated microservice for converting HTML into production-grade PDF documents, designed for environments where layout fidelity, consistency, and control are non-negotiable.
It isolates document rendering from business logic and user interfaces, ensuring that documents look exactly the same regardless of browser, operating system, or client environment.
What it does
- Renders HTML into high-quality, print-ready PDF documents.
- Ensures consistent layout across platforms, environments, and devices.
- Supports headers, footers, margins, covers, and structured document flows.
- Decouples document rendering from application and frontend concerns.
- Exposes a simple, predictable API suitable for automation and batch processing.
What it does not do
- Does not embed PDF rendering logic inside business applications.
- Does not depend on end-user browsers or client-side rendering.
- Does not manage document content, workflows, or approvals.
- Does not store or archive generated documents.
Why PDFBuilder exists
Document rendering is often treated as a secondary concern until inconsistencies start to appear: broken layouts, shifting margins, missing headers, or differences between environments.
PDFBuilder exists to remove this uncertainty. By centralising PDF generation in a controlled, isolated service, organisations gain repeatability, confidence, and operational stability across all document outputs.
Typical use cases
- Invoices, receipts, and financial documents.
- Product catalogs and price lists.
- Reports and operational summaries.
- Technical documentation and datasheets.
- Automated document generation in batch workflows.
Security and operational control
PDFBuilder runs as an isolated rendering service and does not retain generated documents after delivery.
This approach reduces the attack surface, avoids unnecessary data persistence, and allows client systems to remain fully in control of document storage, retention policies, and access management.
Integration model
PDFBuilder integrates through a clean HTTP API and can be used by:
- Web applications and back-office systems.
- Reporting and document pipelines.
- Automation jobs and scheduled tasks.
- Microservice-based architectures requiring deterministic output.
Input is standard HTML; output is a fully rendered, print-ready PDF, with no dependency on client-side tooling.
