Short answer

How can I automate PDF generation with my AI?

Your AI uses RenderForm to inject your data into pre-designed templates. You'll get a professional PDF that follows your specific branding and layout rules. Here is how the process works.

Where every document lands.

The outcomes of your request.

Depending on what you ask, your AI will produce one of these results.

READY

Finished PDF files

The AI completes the rendering process. You get a link to a perfectly formatted document ready for distribution.

PENDING

Processing status

If the file is large, the AI tracks the progress. You'll know exactly when the document is ready to download.

ERROR

Failed renders

If the data doesn't match the template, the AI catches the error. You'll see exactly what went wrong with the input.

HUMAN

Template adjustments

The AI cannot design new layouts from scratch. You'll need to create or edit your templates in RenderForm first.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of mapping variables to visual elements.

  1. Find the right layout

    The AI looks through your available RenderForm templates to find a match for your request.

    list_templates

  2. Check template requirements

    The AI inspects the specific fields and variables required by your chosen layout.

    get_template_details

  3. Generate the document

    The AI sends your raw data to the engine to produce the final file.

    render_pdf

  4. Monitor the build

    The AI waits for the rendering engine to finish and confirms the file is ready.

    get_request_status
