FAQ
Frequently asked questions about DoCreate's PDF generation platform
What is DoCreate?
DoCreate is a professional PDF generation platform. You design HTML/CSS templates, connect via our REST API, and generate thousands of PDFs per month — without managing any servers.
How does template design work?
You create templates using standard HTML and CSS. Use variables like or as placeholders. When generating a PDF, you send JSON data that gets merged into the template automatically.
What output formats are supported?
Currently, DoCreate generates PDF documents. The API returns the PDF as a binary response (application/pdf) that you can save, email, or serve directly to your users.
How does data merging work?
Send a JSON object with your API request. Any key in the JSON data replaces the corresponding placeholder in your HTML template. You can use nested objects, arrays, and conditional logic.
What's the API rate limit?
Rate limits depend on your plan. The Free plan includes 5 PDFs/month, Starter allows up to 5,000 PDFs/month, Professional allows 25,000 PDFs/month, and Enterprise supports up to 100,000 PDFs/month. Contact us for custom volume.
Can I use custom fonts?
Yes. You can include custom fonts via CSS @font-face rules or link to web fonts (e.g., Google Fonts) in your HTML template. The rendering engine fully supports modern CSS including web fonts.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Sign up for free and get 5 PDFs per month for 7 days — no credit card required. After the trial, choose a plan that fits your needs.
How secure is my data?
All API communication is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS. Your templates and data are processed in isolated environments and are not stored after PDF generation. API keys use Bearer token authentication for secure access.
