UPDATED: HTML to PDF

Before the September release of Adobe PDF Services API, you have been able to convert HTML to PDF by uploading a ZIP file to Adobe PDF Services API to generate a PDF. You can now pass HTML directly to the service as HTML with inline CSS or provide a URL to convert to PDF in the new release.
