PDFGate

Generate PDFs, collect signatures, and manage documents via dashboard or API.

Visit PDFGate

PDFGate is a document platform that combines an HTML-to-PDF API with electronic signature workflows. It converts HTML and URLs into PDFs, extracts form data, and offers endpoints for watermarking, password protection, compression, and flattening. It also supports sending documents for legally binding electronic signatures with recipient verification via one-time passcode, digital sealing of completed documents, and detailed audit trails, all manageable through a web dashboard.

The platform provides a REST API with SDKs for Node.js, Java, C#, PHP, and Python, plus integrations with no-code platforms like Zapier, viaSocket, Pabbly Connect, and Integrately, and an MCP server for AI systems. Features include reusable templates, automated reminders, and status tracking for in-progress documents. PDFGate is aimed at businesses across real estate, HR, financial services, and legal sectors. It is packaged in tiered plans (Personal through Enterprise) with a 14-day trial, usage-based conversion limits, and separate digital signature allowances; team members are included without per-user fees.
