As part of DocRaptor’s ongoing quest to make HTML to PDF and HTML to XLS(X) as easy as possible, we recently released the new DocRaptor Pipeline promising it would smooth upcoming feature releases. Here’s one of those promised feature releases!
What’s New?
Pipeline 5, the latest version of the DocRaptor Pipeline, is a big upgrade to our javascript processing... Continue Reading
When we started DocRaptor over 6 years ago, we made the simplest thing that could possibly work. It solved our need for easily producing consistently beautiful documents and it gave us the chance to see if other people also had this problem. It turns out lots of people did :)
Over the years, DocRaptor has become more complex internally... Continue Reading
Given the recent tumult concerning US-EU privacy agreements, we thought it would be useful to review DocRaptor’s privacy standards and our experience joining the new Privacy Shield program (if you just want to learn about joining Privacy Shield, scroll towards the bottom).
As you can imagine, DocRaptor’s HTML to PDF conversion service sees a lot of private documents, from financial reports to legal paperwork... Continue Reading
Bootstrap is the most popular front-end framework for developing websites. We see a lot of customers using Bootstrap to format invoices and reports while converting them from HTML to PDF with DocRaptor. However, there are several common issues you may run into when using Bootstrap 3 with DocRaptor:
In print mode, Bootstrap makes following adjustments:
These changes, while reasonable for physically printing a web page, may surprise you if you’re trying to make a PDF invoice or report... Continue Reading
DocRaptor is now available as a task within Kotive workflows! Kotive enables anyone – including non-technical people – to automate and control the flow of tasks within their business.

You can start using these clients today... Continue Reading

As long as the page loads, your browser attempts to display the page and it ignores any errored images or stylesheets... Continue Reading
One of the most common documents generated by DocRaptor is a report, and what’s a report without an eye-catching chart or two? We’ve long supported charting libraries, like HighCharts, but today we’re taking another big (yet surprisingly simple) step forward with our HTML to PDF engine.
Modern JavaScript involves fetching assets asynchronously, filling in data as it arrives, and doing post-render transformations as needed by the page... Continue Reading
By popular request, you can now set separate billing information in DocRaptor if you’d like to quit forwarding the monthly invoice to Amy in accounting. You can also customize your invoice with the full address, company name, and VAT number if you’re into that kind of thing... Continue Reading
If you’ve visited DocRaptor in the last few days, you probably noticed that we updated our privacy policy. Specifically, we’ve changed one line to reflect new options in how we store your documents.
