Effortless PDF generation: Google Docs for templates, API for developers

2 min read Original article ↗

How It Works

1: Create a Template in Google Docs: Craft a document as you normally would. Insert placeholders where you need dynamic data.

2: Provide Data via JSON: Send your template’s document ID and a JSON object with data fields. No complicated formatting—just structured data.

3: Receive a PDF: Get a fully rendered PDF returned from the API, ready to use in contracts, invoices, or marketing materials.

Features / Benefits

“No-Code Template Editing”: Keep your templates up-to-date without bugging developers. Anyone familiar with Google Docs can handle revisions.

“Instant PDF Generation”: Stop waiting on complex software. Generate personalized PDFs on-demand with a single API call.

“Easily Test Before Live”: Validate template changes in a sandbox environment before rolling them out to production.

“Seamless Integration”: Works with your existing workflows and APIs. Integrate with internal tools, CRMs, or any system that can send JSON.

Use Cases

Contracts & Agreements: Legal teams update templates in Google Docs. Your system just provides client data, and you get a final PDF immediately.

Sales Quotes: Empower your sales team to tweak offer wording without developer involvement. Send data in, get PDFs out.

HR Onboarding Docs: Keep all HR documents uniform. Once the HR manager updates a template, the system generates consistent PDFs for new hires.
