The PDF renderer is a service for rendering a customer's format-independent raw data into a document useful to his clientele. This rendered document, which is then available in PDF format, has a number of advantages in customer communication. In addition to the formally appealing presentation of data and text content that is easy for the customer to use, there are also compelling practical advantages:

• PDF is an established, widely used file format
• All PDF versions can be opened with free PDF Readers and can often be edited
• Document templates can be visually created with an editor
• Data and layout are separate
• The solution can be used as an independent micro-service in applications
