Private and secure infrastructure
Private Infrastructure on AWS

Gain complete control over your PDF processing with our Self-Hosted API, deployable directly within your private AWS infrastructure. Run our Docker Container Image via Amazon ECS, EKS, or Fargate, or host dedicated EC2 instances using our AMI, ensuring unparalleled security, performance, and compliance.

We offer flexible deployment to match your needs: leverage modern Kubernetes orchestration with the Container, use CloudFormation templates for effortless AMI auto-scaling, or opt for a quick, single EC2 instance setup.

Crucially, our Self-Hosted API keeps your data entirely within your secure AWS environment. The Container makes one necessary external call only to validate your license key, while AMI billing metrics are securely routed through AWS. In both cases, absolutely no documents, files, or proprietary data ever leave your environment.

Datalogics maintains SOC 2 Type 2 audited security controls, and both deployments support HIPAA-aligned, GDPR-compliant, data-sovereign workloads, meeting stringent business and regulatory compliance requirements.

Resting Easy
REST, Easy

Integrating PDF processing into your applications should be simple, and with pdfRest, it is. Our REST APIs are designed for ease of use and quick integration, featuring standard HTTP verbs and intuitive endpoints. This allows integration with virtually any application or platform, using nearly any development language or even a low/no-code service.

Get started instantly by testing with our Cloud API—the fastest way to validate your integration before deploying to AWS production. Sign up free for the API Lab to generate copyable code, and find more samples on our GitHub Repo.

We designed pdfRest for a smooth, efficient development experience, so you can focus on building powerful document workflows, not wrestling with complex integrations.

A Tool for Every Task

Deployment

The pdfRest API Toolkit on AWS provides your organization with the flexibility to manage your own backend processing infrastructure. This solution gives you complete control over the administration, customization, optimization, and security of your data. Scale your infrastructure to perfectly meet your processing requirements, all while keeping everything within your own private AWS environment.

Container Image (BYOL)

Pull the Docker image, set your pdfRest License Key, and run it as an Amazon ECS task, an EKS pod, or a Fargate service. The container provides a highly flexible, modern deployment that fits cleanly into the CI/CD, Kubernetes orchestration, and scaling platforms you already operate. License the container directly from pdfRest to easily scale operations without AWS software billing.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

Our Amazon Machine Image (AMI) allows you to quickly launch a pre-configured EC2 instance that includes the pdfRest API, ideal for organizations that prefer to consolidate their software billing directly through the AWS Marketplace. You can opt for a straightforward, standalone deployment for predictable processing needs, or use our CloudFormation Template (CFT) for streamlined automation. The CFT quickly launches a complete infrastructure stack—including the pdfRest API, a load balancer, an Auto Scaling Group, and the Elastic File System—tailored to your PDF processing needs at scale.

Pricing

Choose the model that works best for your procurement and infrastructure.

AMI / EC2 Pricing

Available through the AWS Marketplace with pay-as-you-go pricing that scales with your needs. You pay through your existing AWS account based on EC2 instance size and uptime.

Container Image (BYOL)

The Container image is available directly from the AWS Marketplace. To activate it, simply sign up for a pdfRest account to acquire your License Key. You can upgrade from the free Trial plan to a paid subscription plan at any time, pay monthly (or save 10% by billing annually), and cancel anytime. There is no AWS software billing for the Container.
