pdfEndpoint converts HTML to PDF and nothing more. No templates, no image generation, no delivery options.
Sparse documentation and unclear rendering engine make it hard to build production applications with confidence.
As a minimal/hobby-scale project, there's no guarantee of uptime, support, or continued development.
