Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PdfPulse API.

How fast is the PDF generation?
Our pre-warmed headless Chrome pool processes typical HTML payloads in under 180 milliseconds. Complex pages with heavy JS or external images complete in ~300ms.
What happens if I exceed 5,000 PDFs in a month?
Your service will never be interrupted. Additional PDFs are billed seamlessly at $0.005 per document. You can also set hard usage caps in your dashboard.
Is my customer data secure?
Yes. All PDF generation happens in isolated, ephemeral sandbox containers. We offer zero-retention mode where PDFs are streamed directly back to you and immediately destroyed in memory.
Does it support Web Fonts, Tailwind CSS, and custom fonts?
Full support. Any standard web font (Google Fonts, custom @font-face), CSS framework (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Bulma), and CSS Flexbox/Grid layout works out of the box.
