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.

Flexibility

Why Teams Choose PDF Generator API

Make handles the workflow. PDF Generator API handles the document. You get a full template engine, not just a fill-in-the-blanks converter, so the same integration scales from a single invoice to thousands of documents without changing how your scenario works.

Free QR codes generator

You can easily generate QR code images directly inside your automations. Create QR codes for links, identifiers or dynamic data and use them in your PDF documents or any workflow that requires fast and reliable QR generation.

HTML to PDF conversion

Convert HTML content or public URLs into PDF documents with a single API call. This allows you to automatically generate invoices, reports, confirmations or any dynamic content rendered through your application or workflow.

Generate PDF documents from templates

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

Use advanced PDF tools to adjust and enhance your documents. Add text or image watermarks, encrypt or decrypt PDFs, extract or fill form fields and optimize file size. Everything available directly from your workflows.

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.

More Than a Single Generate Button

The app ships 20 action modules, so most of what the API does runs inside a scenario without code or raw HTTP calls. Generate a document from a template in the same run, or as a background job that posts the finished file to a callback URL. Convert HTML or a public web page into a PDF, or render a PDF as images. Create e-invoices as XML, Factur-X or XRechnung. Watermark, encrypt, decrypt, optimize or tag an existing PDF for accessibility, read and fill PDF form fields, generate QR codes, and keep files in Document Storage to fetch them later by their public ID. Every module runs on one connection, and the data you send to generate a document is not stored.

See every module in the setup guide

Stop copying data into documents by hand.

Add the PDF Generator API app to your Make scenario, design the template once, and every run produces the finished PDF from the data you already have.
