Fill PDF Templates with Dynamic Data

The Template Problem

You have a PDF template with placeholders like {NAME} and {DATE}. You need to fill thousands of them with different data. What happens when "Alice" fits but "Dr. Alexandria Konstantinopolis-Smith" doesn't? And what about subsetted fonts that are missing the glyphs you need?

Template API with Reflow Control

• Find and replace placeholders anywhere in your PDF - {NAME}, %NAME%, or any pattern you use
• Register your own fonts to avoid subsetted font issues - replacement text uses the font you specify
• Choose how replacement text is laid out: SOURCE_ANCHORED, REFLOW_WHEN_SUPPORTED, or REQUIRE_REFLOW
• Replace text or images - swap placeholders for dynamic content of any type
• Process thousands of documents in batch with the same template

Simple Template API

Works instantly in guest mode - no API key required.

Why It Works

• Any placeholder syntax: {NAME}, %NAME%, [NAME] - use whatever convention your templates already have
• Font registration: Register your own fonts to avoid subsetted font issues - full glyph coverage for any replacement text
• Layout control: SOURCE_ANCHORED retains the source position, REFLOW_WHEN_SUPPORTED permits fallback, and REQUIRE_REFLOW rejects unsupported targets
• Text and image replacement: Replace placeholders with text or swap images dynamically
• Batch processing: Same API works for one document or thousands
