Hey everyone, Andrew here! πŸ‘‹ I ended up scratching my own itch with this latest project, an HTML to PDF API called PDFBlade. I know that there's already quite a few different good options out there, but I needed something to handle the varying amount of requests that I do month-to-month. Sometimes I need to convert hundreds of reports to PDFs, and then sometimes it's just a few. I didn't really want to purchase a subscription to a service and either waste money not utilizing how many conversions I could do in a month, or keep flipping between a higher and lower tier as I needed it. I figured more people than just me might have this same problem, and so I built the billing system for PDFBlade around credits that never expire. Each successful use of the API uses one, and signing up for the service grants you 100 free right off the bat. Thanks for checking it out!

Hi, I couldn't find actual pricing anywhere. You mention credits and their price. But how much credits actually one page conversion costs or how is it calculated?
Andrew Schmelyun
@petergencur Hi Peter! The pricing is available on the Billing section of the dashboard, and to a lesser extent discussed toward the bottom of the pdfblade.com landing page. For a full list of options, see this: 50 credits - $2 (0.04/piece) 200 credits - $5 (0.025/piece) 500 credits - $10 (0.02/piece) 2500 credits - $40 (0.016/piece) 5000 credits - $70 (0.014/piece) 25000 credits - $250 (0.01/piece)

@aschmelyun sure, I've seen this. But what I was asking was how much credits I would pay for one request. I've just read documentation where is stated "Only a single credit is used per conversion regardless of any options set" towards the end of getting started section. I was missing this crucial information on landing page. *1 Credit = 1 PDF (Request)*
Andrew Schmelyun
@petergencur AH! I get what you were asking, sorry for the confusion. Yes, only a single credit is ever used per request, regardless of size or options. I'll have to update the home page to include that crucial phrase.

Hi, the live demo is not working. The generated link ends with an error "AccessDenied" from AWS S3.

@nicolas_bui That's only mildly embarrassing, haha. Of course the one thing that I didn't test, it's working now!

@aschmelyun No problem at all ! Thank you for the fix :)
