How important is high-availability or high-volume generation?
Can you risk slowing down your entire application because of a few PDFs?
PDF generation is the equivalent of running a full HTML browser engine on your server, requiring significantly more resources than a standard web application request. This can be especially troublesome when handling multiple simultaneous PDF creation requests. Many applications require dedicated PDF generation servers and infrastructure. When you choose DocRaptor, you’re getting access to reliable PDF creation infrastructure without slowing down your application.
