title: Introduction
---
[Gotenberg](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/) is a Docker-powered stateless API for converting HTML, Markdown and Office documents to PDF.
* HTML and Markdown conversions using Google Chrome headless
* Office conversions (.docx, .doc, .odt, .pptx, .ppt, .odp and so on) using [unoconv](https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv)
* Performance: Google Chrome and Libreoffice (unoconv) started once in the background thanks to PM2
* Failure prevention: PM2 automatically restarts previous processes if they fail
* Assets: send your header, footer, images, fonts, stylesheets and so on for converting your HTML and Markdown to beaufitul PDFs!
* Easily interact with the API using our [Go](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/pkg) and [PHP](https://github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg-php-client) libraries

title: Install
---
Gotenberg is shipped within a Docker image.
You may start it with:
```bash
$ docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 thecodingmachine/gotenberg:3
```
> The API will be available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
Or add it in your Docker Compose stack:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
# your others services
gotenberg:
image: thecodingmachine/gotenberg:3
```
> The API will be available under `gotenberg:3000` in your Docker Compose network.
It may also be deployed with Kubernetes.
In the following examples, we will assume your
Gotenberg API is available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
## Go client
```bash
$ go get -u github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg
```
## PHP client
Unless your project already has a PSR7 `HttpClient`, install `php-http/guzzle6-adapter`:
```bash
$ composer require php-http/guzzle6-adapter
```
Then the PHP client:
```bash
$ composer require thecodingmachine/gotenberg-php-client
```

title: HTML
---
Gotenberg provides the endpoint `/convert/html` for HTML conversions.
It accepts `POST` requests with a `multipart/form-data` Content-Type.
## Basic
The only requirement is to send a file named `index.html`: it is the file
which will be converted to PDF.
For instance:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</body>
</html>
```
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
> result.pdf
```
### Go
```golang
import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/pkg"
func main() {
c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := &gotenberg.HTMLRequest{
IndexFilePath: "index.html",
}
dest := "result.pdf"
c.Store(req, dest)
}
```
### PHP
TODO
## Header and footer
You may also add a header and/or a footer in the resulting PDF.
Respectively, a file named `header.html` and `footer.html`.
Each of them **has to be a complete HTML document**:
```html
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
font-size: 8rem;
margin: 4rem auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<span class="pageNumber"></span> of <span class="totalPages"></span>
</p>
</body>
</html>
```
The following classes allow you to inject printing values:
* `date`: formatted print date
* `title`: document title
* `pageNumber`: current page number
* `totalPage`: total pages in the document
> **Attention:** the CSS properties are independant of the ones used in the `index.html` file.
> Also, `footer.html` CSS properties override the ones from `header.html`.
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
--form files=@header.html
--form files=@footer.html
> result.pdf
```
### Go
```golang
import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/pkg"
func main() {
c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := &gotenberg.HTMLRequest{
IndexFilePath: "index.html",
Options: &gotenberg.HTMLOptions{
HeaderFilePath: "header.html",
FooterFilePath: "footer.html",
},
}
dest := "result.pdf"
c.Store(req, dest)
}
```
### PHP
TODO
## Assets
You may also send additional files. For instance, images, fonts, stylesheets and so on.
The only requirement is to make sure that their paths
are on the same level as the `index.html` file.
In others words, this will work:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<img src="img.png">
</body>
</html>
```
But this won't:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
<img src="/foo/img.png">
</body>
</html>
```
You may also use *remote* paths for Google fonts, images and so on.
> If you want to install fonts directly in the Gotenberg Docker image,
> see to the [fonts section](#office.fonts).
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
--form files=@style.css
--form files=@img.png
--form files=@font.woff
> result.pdf
```
### Go
```golang
import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/pkg"
func main() {
c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := &gotenberg.HTMLRequest{
IndexFilePath: "index.html",
AssetFilePaths: []string{
"style.css",
"img.png",
"font.woff",
},
}
dest := "result.pdf"
c.Store(req, dest)
}
```
### PHP
TODO
## Paper size, margins, orientation
You may also customize the resulting PDF paper.
By default, it will be rendered in `A4` size with `1 inch` margins and `portrait` orientation.
> Paper size and margins have to be provided in `inches`.
> Also, you have to set both `paperWidth` and `paperHeight`. Same for margins.
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
--form paperWidth=8.27
--form paperHeight=11.27
--form marginTop=0
--form marginBottom=0
--form marginLeft=0
--form marginRight=0
--form landscape=true
> result.pdf
```
### Go

c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}

title: Markdown
---
Gotenberg provides the endpoint `/convert/markdown` for Markdown conversions.
It accepts `POST` requests with a `multipart/form-data` Content-Type.
## Basic
Markdown conversions work the same as HTML conversions.
Only difference is that you have access to the Go template function `toHTML`
in the file `index.html` which will convert a given markdown file to HTML.
For instance:
```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My PDF</title>
</head>
<body>
{{ toHTML .DirPath "file.md" }}
</body>
</html>
```
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/markdown \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
--form files=@file.md

### Go

func main() {
c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := &gotenberg.MarkdownRequest{
IndexFilePath: "index.html",
MarkdownFilePaths: []string{
"file.md",

title: Office

Gotenberg provides the endpoint `/convert/office` for Office documents conversions.
It accepts `POST` requests with a `multipart/form-data` Content-Type.
## Basic
You may send one or more Office documents. Following file extensions are accepted:
* `.doc`
* `.docx`
* `.odt`
* `.xls`
* `.xlsx`
* `.ods`
* `.ppt`
* `.pptx`
* `.odp`
All files will be merged into a single resulting PDF.
> **Attention:** currently, `unoconv` cannot perform concurrent conversions.
> That's why for Office conversions, the API does only one conversion at a time.
> See the [scalability section](#scalability) to find how to mitigate this issue.
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/office \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@document.docx
--form files=@document2.docx

## Fonts
By default, only `ttf-mscorefonts` fonts are installed.
If you wish to use more fonts, you will have to create your own image:
```Dockerfile

RUN apt-get -y install yourfonts
```

title: Merge

Gotenberg provides the endpoint `/merge` for merging PDFs.
It accepts `POST` requests with a `multipart/form-data` Content-Type.
## Basic
Nothing special here: you may send one or more PDF files and the API
will merge them and return the resulting PDF file.
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/merge \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@file.pdf
--form files=@file2.pdf

title: Webhook
---
All endpoints accept a form field named `webhookURL`.
If provided, the API will send the resulting PDF file in a `POST` request with the `application/pdf` Content-Type
to given URL.
By doing so, your requests to the API will be done before the conversions are actually done!
## Examples
### Guzzle
```bash
$ curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:3000/convert/html \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--form files=@index.html
--form webhookURL='http://myapp.com/webhook/'
> result.pdf
```
### Go
```golang
import "github.com/thecodingmachine/gotenberg/pkg"
func main() {
c := &gotenberg.Client{Hostname: "http://localhost:3000"}
req := &gotenberg.HTMLRequest{
IndexFilePath: "index.html",
Options: &gotenberg.HTMLOptions{
WebHookURL: "http://myapp.com/webhook/",
},
}
dest := "result.pdf"

title: Scalability
---
The API being stateless, you may scale it as much as you want.
For instance, using the following Docker Compose file:
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
# your others services
gotenberg:
image: thecodingmachine/gotenberg:3
```
You may now launch your services using:
```bash
$ docker-compose up --scale gotenberg=your_number_of_instances
```
When requesting the Gotenberg service with your client(s), Docker will automatically
redirect a request to a Gotenberg container according to the round-robin strategy.
