Build Document Workflows on Make's Visual Automation Platform

Make is a visual automation platform that connects over 3,000 apps into no-code workflows called scenarios. Instead of writing integration logic, you build each scenario as a chain of modules that pass data from one app to the next.

With the PDF Generator API app added to a scenario, you can take data from any upstream module, a Typeform submission, a new Google Sheets row, a CRM record, or a database update, and merge it straight into one of your templates. The generated PDF is returned into the scenario, ready to email, upload to cloud storage, or pass to the next module. No servers to run, and no code to maintain.

You can generate PDF documents from your templates one by one, in batches or asynchronously. All generated files can be listed, fetched or deleted, enabling a complete document management flow inside Make.

A wide range of Smart Components

Use various components like Text, Table, Image or Barcode to build fully dynamic layouts. You can format number and date values, group and sort lists and create data-driven PDFs without additional logic in your application.

Manage your templates

You can create, update, copy and delete templates, as well as access their data fields and JSON schema. It is also possible to open the template editor and validate template configuration to keep your PDF layouts consistent and error-free.

PDF Services

Design Templates Once, Populate Them Automatically

Build your document layout and branding in the drag-and-drop editor, then let each Make scenario fill it with live data. Use smart components for tables, images, and barcodes, and the expression language to format numbers and dates, group line items, and sort lists, so your PDFs stay data-driven without extra logic in your workflow.

Simple Packing Slip

Built for Developers Who Want More Than a Single Button

The Make an API call module gives you the full API from inside a scenario. Beyond generating documents, you can manage templates programmatically, list, fetch, or delete generated files, access template data fields and JSON schema, and add PDF services like watermarks, form fill and extract, encryption, and file-size optimization to your workflows. Data used for generating PDFs is not stored, and you can choose the processing region to meet GDPR and other compliance requirements.
