Launch Laravel PDFs in three steps

1. Render your Blade template with data. Use `view()->render()` or Livewire’s HTML output to produce the markup you want to convert.
2. Call the Worker from a queued job or controller. Use Laravel HTTP client with your API key stored in config. The Worker validates the key, enforces rate limits, and launches the browser renderer.
3. Store and send the generated PDF. Save the binary to S3, attach it to a mail notification, or upload to your customer portal.

Laravel integration code

Drop this snippet into your project, replace `PDF_API_KEY`, and generate your first PDF. Pair it with the curl request for quick smoke tests.

$pdf = Http::withHeaders([
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.config('services.pdf.key'),
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
])->post('https://api.yourdomain.com/v1/render', [
    'html' => view('invoices.show', compact('invoice'))->render(),
    'options' => [
        'format' => 'Letter',
        'margin' => [
            'top' => '20mm',
            'bottom' => '20mm'
        ]
    ]
])->throw()->body();

Storage::disk('s3')->put("invoices/{$invoice->id}.pdf", $pdf);

Test with curl

curl -X POST https://api.yourdomain.com/v1/render \
  -H "authorization: Bearer ${PDF_API_KEY}" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"html":"
Invoice #512
Thanks!
"}' \
  --output laravel-invoice.pdf

Common pitfalls & fixes

• Run the Worker call inside a queued job so slow renders never block HTTP requests.
• Sanitize user input before injecting into Blade templates to avoid HTML injection.
• Cache plan metadata locally to avoid hitting KV on every request.
