The PDFGate team tested 12 HTML-to-PDF APIs using a four-page invoice containing complex CSS, JavaScript, international text, and fillable forms. PDFGate and DocRaptor passed all 14 rendering checks, although DocRaptor required a modified HTML version. The comparison highlights differences in rendering accuracy, speed, file size, text extraction, and form support, with public test scripts and outputs available for reproduction.
