Overview

This node operation creates a new PDF template by sending a complete template configuration JSON object to the PDF Generator API. It is useful for users who want to define and store custom PDF templates programmatically, including layout, pages, data settings, and editor configurations. For example, a user can create a template for invoices or reports with specific page sizes, margins, and components.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a new invoice template with predefined layout and data fields.
  2. Defining a report template with multiple pages and custom styling for automated PDF generation.
