Stop Hardcoding Your PDF Templates — Design Them Instead
Most of the time exact presentation of the content is important and that's why PDF was developed and is widely used. But if you need to generate one, you may feel like you are living in the stone age.
There are many libraries and tools to render or convert documents, but sometimes even developers run into trouble when using them.
That's why Eledo was born. It provides a fast and easy way to prepare PDF templates with dynamic elements for developers and non-technical users alike. Let's explore its advantages.
Template is all you need
Thanks to generative design patterns, all you need to prepare is the template. Everything else happens automatically.
You can immediately generate your PDF either by:
- filling in a web form
- using the REST API
The rich-text in-browser editor is portable and available online.
Besides paragraphs, lists, tables, or images, it includes custom components that help define dynamic parts of the template.
Some examples include:
- text fields
- conditional blocks
- repetitive blocks
These allow you to design more advanced document scenarios.
Other useful components include:
- barcodes
- QR codes
- digital signature placeholders
For those who want even more power, there are expressions.
Expressions allow you to:
- split dynamic data
- combine values
- perform mathematical operations
- aggregate vector data
- use boolean logic in conditional blocks
No more wasted time (and money)
Designing templates from scratch can be time-consuming, so we are building a public library of common templates.
You can simply:
- copy a template
- modify it
- adapt it to your needs
Our mission is to save your time while giving you maximum flexibility.
You can also save time when integrating Eledo into your solutions. We provide plugins for platforms like:
We also support integration platforms such as:
Time is money — and money is time.
It just depends on which one you have more of.
