Rendering Core
The foundation of VaultPDF. Every PDF output type shares the same engine, ensuring consistency across all document kinds and deployment modes.
Unified PDF Engine
All document output types share the same rendering engine, ensuring consistent layout and visual quality across every template and deployment mode.
Rendering Modes
Supports real-time and async rendering modes. The mode is selected per request via the payload, with full backward compatibility.
System Feedback PDFs
VaultPDF automatically generates feedback PDFs for job acceptance confirmations and error reports, with auto-prefixed filenames for easy identification.
Customizable Templates
System templates for receipts, errors, and status reports can be fully customized for branding or internal use without affecting the rendering engine.
Async & Queue Processing
VaultPDF supports independent async processing via a built-in workflow queue, enabling high-throughput batch workloads alongside real-time renders.
Async Priority Queues
High, normal, and batch priority queues for asynchronous document generation. Supports automatic retry on transient errors and isolation of unrecoverable jobs.
Direct & Queued Jobs Independently
The same payload can be processed immediately via Direct mode and also enqueued asynchronously, giving full control over workflow timing and priority.
Enterprise Features
Security, integration, and data representation features designed for regulated industries and complex enterprise environments.
Watermark & Password Protection
Enterprise-grade document security with configurable watermark placement, opacity, and angle. Supports both default and per-document custom passwords.
SharePoint Integration
Direct PDF upload into SharePoint document libraries with metadata tracking for render status, error codes, and JobIds.
Icon-based Booleans & Labels
Use small SVG icons to represent boolean field values. Falls back to a vertical color strip indicator if no matching icon is available.
Signature-Ready Documents
Reserve space for digital signatures with configurable zones that integrate seamlessly with e-signature platforms such as DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign.
Document Formatting & Styling
Intelligent auto-detection and structure capabilities that ensure your documents are readable, navigable, and professionally formatted.
TOC & Section Numbering
Advanced table of contents generation and automatic section numbering for long-form structured documents.
Auto Formatting
Automatically detects and formats dates, times, currencies, numbers, and large text IDs. No manual format strings required.
Nested Tables & Overflow
Supports auto-expanding nested table layouts and overflow content handling for data-heavy columns.
Monitoring & Observability
Built-in visibility into system health, queue state, and document-level job tracing, exposed as PDF reports for monitoring integrations.
System Status Reports
GET /status produces a real-time PDF health report. Browser requests return HTTP 200; monitoring probes with ?ping=true return 200 or 501 based on system health.
Enterprise Monitoring
Detailed PDF system reports covering queue health, worker status, and provider configurations for enterprise ops dashboards.
Job Metadata Tracking
Tracks render status, short diagnostic messages, and JobIds at the document level for complete end-to-end auditability.
