Typefold vs DocRaptor
DocRaptor turns the HTML your app builds into a PDF. Typefold keeps the template, so your app sends JSON and you change the layout without a release.
What DocRaptor doesn't do.
- Templates outside your codeBuild them in Studio, preview them with real data and publish a version. Your app only sends the data.
- Real Excel workbooksDesign the sheet in Excel and fill it with your data. DocRaptor converts HTML tables.
- Signed and e-invoice readySign with your own certificate, embed Factur-X or ZUGFeRD, and make PDF/UA-2 files for screen readers.
- Hosted in the EU, or by youRun the same product on your own servers. DocRaptor runs only in its own cloud, in the US.
