Regular PDFs can age poorly. Fonts go missing, colors shift, links break. PDF/A (ISO 19005) fixes that: fonts, images, and color profiles are embedded so documents stay readable for decades. In n8n, you can automate the full chain: when a PDF appears in Dropbox (or another trigger), download it, compress it, convert it to PDF/A, and—optionally—upload the archival file. Three nodes. One workflow. No manual conversion.

Got HTML from a template or API? Turn it into a PDF in n8n! Three nodes only, no hosting required.

You have HTML—from a template, a web page, or an API response. You need a PDF. Manually exporting or copying into Word doesn't scale. n8n plus PDF4me turns HTML into PDF in three nodes: trigger → upload → convert. No servers, no custom code. Paste Base64 HTML, map the URL to the converter, and you get output.pdf—ready to download, email, or store.

In a nutshell: When clicking 'Execute workflow' (trigger) → Upload file to PDF4me (Base64 HTML) → Convert Html to PDF (maps documentUrl from Upload). Output: PDF binary (e.g. 29.2 kB) with Download, JSON, and Table views.
