What should you send to make a PDF?

Supply the HTML that contains your text and the CSS that controls the layout. Think about page size, repeated headers and where a long table should split. DocRaptor is a hosted conversion service, so choose sample content and assets you are comfortable sending before trying it.

What belongs in the final record and what affects cost?

Keep your HTML template and source data if you will need to recreate the PDF. Save the generated file separately. Test documents are watermarked and can be generated without using the production document allowance. Check the paid monthly document count and overage behavior before enabling automatic generation.

Where should a long fictional invoice break across pages?

Sketch an invoice with enough lines to reach a second page.

  1. Mark what must remain readable
    Draw the header on both pages and keep the totals together.
  2. List what should stay with the PDF
    Keep a copy of the template, the invoice values and the final PDF in your handoff sketch.
