2026-10-02: Launch

CastPDF is live. This first release includes:

• Template to PDF: store HTML templates with CSS and sample data, and generate PDFs by sending JSON to POST /v1/pdf.
• HTML to PDF: send HTML (and optional CSS) directly, with or without Liquid data.
• Six starter templates: invoice, receipt, certificate, report, ticket and contract. Pick one when you create a template in the dashboard, or press "Use this template" on its page (templates).
• Liquid templating with loops, conditionals, filters, and money, number and format_date with locales (Liquid reference).
• Print mode on Paged.js: repeating table headers, page breaks, and CSS page numbers and running headers; and a fast mode for simple documents (print CSS guide).
• Template versions: every save is a version; pin the one the API uses, or request a specific version.
• Generate PDF in the dashboard: press Generate PDF in the editor for a clean PDF of your saved template, with a download link. You need a verified email address, and each PDF counts as one on your plan (quickstart).
• Test keys that are free and watermarked, and live keys with per-plan rate limits.
• Signed download URLs and idempotency keys for safe retries (usage and billing).
• Plans from Free to Scale, with rollover of unused documents and overage with a spending cap on paid plans (pricing).
• The dashboard: a template editor with live preview, API keys, the document log, usage and billing.
• Documentation: quickstart, API reference, guides and error codes (docs).
