React Server Components

Natively parse the HTML output from RSCs or standard pages directly in your Next.js Route Handlers.

Serverless Optimized

No 50MB Chromium binaries crashing your Vercel edge functions. Just one lightweight REST API call.

Tailwind CSS & Fonts

Since we utilize real headless Chromium, your next/fonts, CSS grids, and Tailwind JIT compiler work flawlessly.

Protected Routes

Pass Bearer tokens natively through the API to generate PDFs of dashboards locked behind Clerk or NextAuth.

app/api/pdf/route.ts

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export async function POST(req) {
  // Option 1: URL to PDF (Great for static/public Next.js pages)
  const response = await fetch("https://api.pdfbridge.xyz/api/v1/convert", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "x-api-key": `${process.env.PDFBRIDGE_API_KEY}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      url: "https://your-nextjs-app.com/invoices/992",
      options: {
        format: "A4",
        printBackground: true,
        waitForNetworkIdle: true // Ensures Next.js hydration finishes
      }
    })
  });

  // Stream the PDF directly back to the client
  return new NextResponse(response.body, {
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/pdf" }
  });
}
