Render option

Render a PDF in landscape orientation

Rotate the paper to landscape orientation.

Field	`options.landscape`
Type	`true \| false`
Default	`false`

What it is for

Rotates the paper. Width and height swap; nothing else changes.

The trap

Rotating the paper does not rotate your layout. A table sized in vw or a fixed pixel width will not widen to fill the new page — set the width in CSS as well, or use a @page rule.

Example

curl -X POST https://api.pdfcraft.dev/v1/render \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PDFCRAFT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "html": "<h1>hello</h1>",
    "options": {
      "landscape": true,
      "format": "A4"
    }
  }' \
  --output out.pdf

Every option

format — Paper size. Ignored if the page CSS declares its own @page size.
landscape — Rotate the paper to landscape orientation.
margin — Page margins. Any side may be omitted; omitted sides default to 0.
scale — Rendering scale factor.
printBackground — Print background colours and images. Off by default in browsers; on by default here.
pageRanges — Subset of pages to keep, e.g. "1-5" or "1,4,7-9". Empty means all pages.
headerHtml — HTML for the running header. Supports Chromium print classes: date, title, url, pageNumber, totalPages. Needs a top margin to be visible.
footerHtml — HTML for the running footer. Same classes as headerHtml; needs a bottom margin.
waitFor — Conditions to satisfy before the PDF is taken. All of them apply, in order.
emulateMedia — Which CSS media type the page sees.
timeoutMs — Hard ceiling on the whole render. Exceeding it returns 408 render_timeout.
