What actually matters most when embedding PDF generation into a product?

PDFs always look simple until they re in production.

At some point every product needs them: invoices, contracts, reports, delivery notes. And that s usually where trade-offs start to appear.

From your experience, what actually matters when PDF generation becomes part of a real software?

  • Do you prioritize speed of integration over flexibility?

  • Is a visual editor for non-technical people a must, or just noise?

  • Are opinionated, simple layouts better than fully custom designs?

  • How much design freedom is too much when PDFs must stay stable?

  • Have you built your own solution, used a library, or relied on a SaaS?

Hundred Docs - Design docs with AI. Fill them via API

Design complex document templates with AI (chat → template). Anyone can edit them visually, no code required. Developers only send data to the API to generate PDFs. Non-technical teams control layouts, and developers avoid heavy libraries and painful integrations.
