pdfs.build

PDF template engine with an API: design templates by chat or over MCP, then pass JSON and get pixel-perfect PDFs.

The editor: describe a change in plain English on the left, the document re-renders live in the middle, and the template's data fields — driven by its JSON Schema — are on the right.

The template gallery: every design is a real compiled render, not a mockup, and each one can be copied into your workspace and driven from your own JSON over the API.

What is pdfs.build?

pdfs.build turns a document design plus a JSON payload into a finished PDF over a REST API.

Describe the document you want and an assistant writes the template for you, or drive the same tools from your own agent over MCP. You can also import an existing .docx and keep the layout. Each template carries a JSON Schema, so a malformed payload fails loudly instead of quietly producing a broken document, and each design states how it behaves when the data runs long — a table crossing a page boundary, a header that has to repeat, a field that overflows.

Rendering happens without a headless browser, so pagination is a property of the template rather than of your CSS, and a 200-page report is an ordinary case rather than the one that breaks the layout. Renders are synchronous or queued with webhooks on completion.

The editor can also be embedded in your own product, so your users design their own documents inside your app while your API key stays on your server.
