FAQ
Short answers to common questions.
For complete documents, see Examples.
Which engine should I use?
Forme for speed, Chromium for full browser CSS. See Choosing an engine.
Why is my first Chromium render slower?
The first Chromium render of a project, and the first after five minutes without one, starts a browser session. See Chromium.
Do other customers share my Chromium browser?
No: each project gets its own browser session, and the browser makes no network request. See Chromium sessions.
Does JavaScript run in my document?
No. Chromium does not run scripts, and Forme renders without a browser; see Chromium and Forme.
How do I add page numbers, headers or footers?
With @page margin boxes, on either engine. See Page setup.
Can I use my own fonts?
Yes, with @font-face or a Google Fonts <link>, or upload them as template assets. See Fonts.
Can Revecto load images from my private network, or can I allowlist its IP?
No: resources are fetched from public URLs only, and there is no fixed egress IP. Inline them as data: URIs or template assets; see Remote resources.
Which host do I call?
The host of your project's region; a project's region is fixed when you create it. See Regions.
Do you store my documents?
No: HTML and PDFs are processed in memory. Templates and their assets are kept until you delete them; see Security.
What happens when I reach my monthly limit?
The API answers 402 monthly_limit_reached until the allowance returns at resets_at; credits extend it. See Billing and credits.
Is there an SDK?
No. Call the HTTP API, with examples in cURL, Node, Python and Go in the Quickstart.
Are there async jobs, webhooks or idempotency keys?
Not today. Requests are synchronous and return the PDF in the response.
Can I produce PDF/A, encrypted or password-protected PDFs, or set PDF metadata?
Not today. The options are listed in the API reference.
How does the API change?
There is one version, and it changes in place; breaking changes are announced with a date. See Changelog.
