PDFShift Adaptor

About PDFShift​

PDFShift is a solution designed to automate document conversion tasks.

Integration Options​

PDFShift has a REST API that enables external services like OpenFn to pull data from PDFShift, or push data from external apps to PDFShift. This option is suited for scheduled, bulk syncs or workflows that must update data in PDFShift with external information. See functions for more on how to use this adaptor to work with the API.

Examples​

Generate a PDF from an HTML string​

This job builds an HTML sales report from the input data, converts it to a PDF, and logs the download link. PDFShift keeps the file for 48 hours.

// Generate a PDF document from a HTML string

fn(state => {
  const { data } = state;

  state.pdfHTMLContent = `<html>
       <body style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
         <h1>Sales Report</h1>
         <p>Date: ${data.date}</p>
         <p>Total Sales: $${data.totalSales}</p>
      </body>
    </html>`;

  return state;
});

generatePDF($.pdfHTMLContent, {
  sandbox: true,
  filename: 'trials.pdf',
});

fn(state => {
  const { data } = state;
  console.log(`Download PDF in 48 hours from ${data.url}`);
  return { ...state, pdfData: data };
});

Authentication​

See PDFShift docs for the latest on supported authentication methods. When integrating with PDFShift via OpenFn, only one primary authentication method is supported.

Api Key (requires api key created after authenticating in PDFShift). See this adaptor's Configuration docs for the required authentication parameters.

See platform docs on managing credentials for how to configure a credential in OpenFn. If working locally or if using a Raw JSON credential type, then your configuration will look something like this:

{
  "apiKey": "sk_563874gfvftdv2t28462763fy23d28"
}
