Sync mode

Sync mode is the easier way to get your PDF immediately within a single API call, and your PDF file is ready to be distributed.

Sync mode will be protected under our Rate Limiting policy.

If you're looking for performance, fast, and don't need to implement your own Rate Limiting layer, check out the Async Mode.
