PandaDoc, the company that makes it easy to sign and annotate documents online, has today released a new API and a Javascript SDK to make it easier to deal with PDF documents on the Web.
Building custom PDF handling code is expensive and complicated, so PandaDoc is trying to make it straightforward to use its alternative to PDFs in any web application.
The new API makes it easy to integrate PandaDoc’s tools right into existing applications. Developers can create an overlay that allows users to upload a document easily, or annotate one directly adding text or a signature with little hassle thanks to PandaDoc’s tools.
PandaDoc has customers, like TaskRabbit, already using the new tools to allow their “rabbits” (people who perform tasks) to fill in forms directly on their service without the need for a desktop app.
Developers can start integrating PandaDoc into their Web apps today using its RESTful API.
