DocRaptor.configure do |config|
config.username = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
# config.debugging = true
end
$docraptor = DocRaptor::DocApi.new
response = $docraptor.create_doc(
test: true, # test documents are free but watermarked
document_content: "<html><body>Hello World</body></html>", # supply content directly
# document_url: "http://docraptor.com/examples/invoice.html", # or use a url
name: "docraptor-ruby.pdf", # help you find a document later
document_type: "pdf", # pdf or xls or xlsx
# javascript: true, # enable JavaScript processing
# prince_options: {
# media: "screen", # use screen styles instead of print styles
# baseurl: "http://hello.com", # pretend URL when using document_content
# },
)
Documents created synchronously like above are limited to 60 seconds of generation time, the asynchronous method allows up to 10 minutes.
Our styling documentation and knowledge base contain tips and guides on creating headers, footers, page numbers, table of contents, and much more.
With DocRaptor, it's fast and painless to convert HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents with Ruby. Below are working Ruby examples for creating documents. Our API reference lists all the generation options and our style and formatting guide will help make it look perfect.
