not as mature as i hoped but its promising

this thing changes the quality of the file you upload so the docs dont look clean and crisp
very limited no-code app support, no make no pabbly
they mention rate limits but they never tell you the api rate limits
no support email on the page no support forum, no support chat just no support
THIS DOES NOT DETECT FILLABLE FIELDS on pdf files uploaded so you will have to manually add in every field which can be very time consuming... thats what i mean by lacks maturity as most product auto detect fillable fields (also known as AcroForm fields) which most other systems offer
no team feature

good stuff it promising
value offering is good
ui is decent

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We have provided responses to each of your points below to clarify our current offerings and future updates:

File quality: In the editor, we display a preview of the uploaded PDF. However, when generating the final document, the PDF will maintain the original quality of the uploaded file, so there is no need to worry about resolution loss.

No-code support: Our support is present and highly responsive. Currently, we offer integrations with Zapier and Pabbly, and integration with Make is also on our roadmap for future updates.

API rate limits: You can find the following details in our documentation:

The API rate limit is set at 60 requests per minute. If this limit is exceeded, you will receive a "429 Too Many Requests" error. Response headers for tracking:

X-RateLimit-Limit: Maximum number of requests allowed per minute (60).
X-RateLimit-Remaining: Number of requests left within the current minute.
You can also check the total number of requests made in the dashboard.

Customer support: We provide daily customer support via email at support@pdf-api.io. Due to the high volume of feedback we are receiving since our AppSumo launch, our response time is currently between 24 and 48 hours. Once logged in, you will also see a feedback button at the top of the screen.

Fillable fields: Yes, you can add fillable fields to your PDF. We currently support text fields, radio buttons, and checkboxes. If you import an existing PDF with fields, some fields may be removed, depending on how the PDF was originally created. We are working on a solution to improve this compatibility.

Team access: This feature is in development and will be available soon, as announced in our product roadmap.

Finally, please know that our features and product quality are evolving rapidly, and platforms like AppSumo are designed to help us gather valuable feedback. We have already implemented several customized improvements based on user requests. We hope that, with these answers, you feel more comfortable using our API and editors.

Of course, we remain available for any further questions.
