For Agents

Convert any URL or raw HTML to PDF with options for layout, watermarks, headers, footers, and encryption. Handles both simple and complex PDF conversion needs.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the PDFmyURL API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the PDFmyURL API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use PDFmyURL API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Branded Document Export

Convert web-based reports or dashboards to branded PDFs with custom headers containing company logos, footers with page numbers, and specific page sizes matching corporate standards. PDFmyURL handles all rendering including CSS, images, and JavaScript-rendered content, producing print-ready documents from any URL.

POST to /api with the target URL, custom header HTML with logo, footer with page numbering, and A4 page size to generate a branded PDF

Secure Document Distribution

Generate password-encrypted PDFs from web content for secure document distribution. PDFmyURL applies PDF encryption with user and owner passwords, restricting printing, copying, or editing of the generated document. This is suitable for distributing confidential reports, contracts, or financial documents.

POST to /api with the document URL and encryption parameters including user password and permission restrictions to produce a secured PDF

Watermarked Proof Generation

Create watermarked PDF proofs from web content for review workflows. Apply text watermarks like DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL, or image watermarks with logos, to PDFs generated from URLs. This enables review distribution without risking unauthorized use of final content.

POST to /api with the content URL and a diagonal text watermark reading DRAFT to generate a watermarked proof PDF

AI Agent PDF Conversion via Jentic

AI agents convert web content to PDF as part of automated workflows by calling PDFmyURL through Jentic. The agent searches for URL-to-PDF operations, receives the /api schema with all available options, and executes conversions with headers, watermarks, or encryption as needed without manual API key management.

Search Jentic for 'convert URL to PDF with watermark', load the /api operation schema, and execute with target URL and watermark options

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

PDFmyURL license keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access — the raw license key parameter is injected into API calls automatically without entering the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'convert URL to PDF with watermark') and Jentic returns the /api operation with its full parameter schema covering layout, watermarks, encryption, and header options.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days for parameter discovery, error handling, and option configuration. Through Jentic: under 15 minutes — search, load schema, execute with options.

FAQs

Specific to using PDFmyURL API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for PDFmyURL API?

PDFmyURL does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call PDFmyURL API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the PDFmyURL API use?

PDFmyURL API uses a license key passed as a query parameter named 'license'. You receive this key when subscribing to a PDFmyURL plan. Through Jentic, the license key is stored encrypted in the vault and injected into requests automatically.

Can I add watermarks to PDFs generated from URLs?

Yes. The /api endpoint accepts watermark parameters for both text and image watermarks. You can specify text content, position, rotation angle, opacity, and font size for text watermarks, or provide an image URL for image-based watermarks.

Can I encrypt PDFs with a password using this API?

Yes. The /api endpoint supports PDF encryption options including user password (required to open the PDF) and owner password (controls permissions). You can restrict printing, text copying, and content modification on the generated document.

How do I convert URLs to PDF through Jentic?

Install with pip install jentic, search for 'convert URL to PDF', and Jentic returns the /api operation schema with all conversion options. Execute with the target URL and any options like headers, watermarks, or encryption. Jentic injects the license key automatically.

Does PDFmyURL support custom page sizes and orientations?

Yes. The /api endpoint accepts parameters for page size (A4, Letter, Legal, and custom dimensions), orientation (portrait or landscape), and margins (top, bottom, left, right). These can be set per conversion request.
