3 reasons teams choose Doppio over PDFMonkey for PDF generation

Generate PDFs directly from HTML

If you want to use PDFMonkey in your app, you first need to build templates in PDFMonkey's back office. That works well for some workflows, but it also changes how you manage layout and design.

Doppio, on the other hand, generates PDFs directly from HTML. You can build the output inside your app, in your preferred language, and with your own design system, while Doppio handles the HTML-to-PDF conversion.

Simple to set up for developers

Template-based PDF generation can be useful when a team or client needs to edit files without touching application code. But PDFMonkey's template workflow can also slow implementation and add another layer to manage.

With Doppio, you can start generating PDFs in your app in just a few minutes. Setup is fast, integration is simple, and you are only one API call away from your first render.

GDPR- and HDS-ready PDF API

PDFMonkey stores PDF files after generation until you delete them.

In contrast, Doppio does not keep generated PDF files permanently. You can use our upload delegation feature to store documents in your own S3 bucket, but this is not mandatory. If you do not use upload delegation, the document is stored in a temporary bucket and expires quickly.

We do not retain any data sent to Doppio, and we still provide a way to debug your request by hiding your sensitive parameters. Moreover, our servers are HDS certified, which means you can safely send sensitive health data to Doppio without risk.
