Is it possible to create a document from template, and then edit the generated document on the web? Do example - A project charter template the is filled automatically from a CRM and can be edited before downloading/ sending to a client....
A: Yes, collecting signatures is on our roadmap, but as this is a significant feature, we want to ensure the signature workflow is smooth and compliant with regulations before launching. It’s in active development, but it will take some time to perfect.
While our product primarily specializes in PDF generation, we can easily extend our capabilities to include image rendering. In fact, we already generate image from templates internally to display preview of the templates. Would that be something you'd be interested in ?
Q: Webhooks are avalilable?
Hello I created a free account to learn more, and I need to know if the appsumo webhook is available in the foreground?
A: Hi, the webhook is not implemented unfortunately. You will have to create a new account or send us an email at hello@pdf-api.io with the codes you purchased so we can upgrade your account manually
The easiest way would be: 1. Create a PDF e-book (using any tool). 2. Get a Pro plan (2 codes) to benefit from the uploading feature. 3. Create a new template and upload your PDF e-book. 4. Add some dynamic placeholders where you need it. 5. Generate final PDF through the API.
Q: Forms via zapier
If used with forms that have select or tick box, does the system recognize that and deal with it?
I am using a form to fill in information, through zapier, this information will be placed on the pdf file. If in this form, i am using a tick box to select some options, can the pdf template have a tick box, and is the pdf able to generate tick box if fetched from zapier
Thank you for providing more details. Currently, form controls (such as checkboxes) cannot be filled via the API (or Zapier). We added this feature request to our backlog and will consider it for future development.
Q: Dynamic Images via API
Hey, is it possible to parse an image url via the API to the templates?
So the image will change as per the API request. I hope this can be done in the WYSIWYG editor because I dont know HTML unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply. There is a very similar product here on AppSumo:
MarkupGo
They can also export images. Will that come soon on your end?

This is a critical part of my usecase. Thanks!

Oct 22, 2024A: This is currently not possible but we are seriously considering adding this feature in the future. Thank you for your feedback
Amazing. Thankyou for considering. This would be a game changer.
This feature is now implemented. You can now define image placeholders that can be dynamically rendered by sending the image URL in the API request.
Amazing! Thankyou! I suggest you promote this because I think that it is a big feature. Great job guys!
