TL;DR
- Gotenberg converts HTML, URLs, and Office files to PDFs via a simple HTTP API running in a Docker container.
- CodeWords can call Gotenberg as part of a serverless workflow: generate dynamic HTML from data, send it to Gotenberg, and distribute the resulting PDF via email, Slack, or Google Drive.
Set up Gotenberg on your server and build the first pipeline in CodeWords.
