We’re excited to introduce **Import from PDF** — a new way to bring your existing PDF documents into Templated and turn them into fully editable, API-ready templates.

---

### • How It Works

Upload any PDF file and we’ll automatically extract:

- **Text elements** — with font detection, sizing, and positioning
- **Images** — uploaded to your media library
- **Vector shapes** — converted to editable SVG layers
- **Layout structure** — preserving the original document design

The result is a complete template you can edit, customize, and automate via the API — just like any other template in Templated.

### • When to Use It

- **Contracts & Legal Documents** — Turn your existing contracts into templates with dynamic placeholders
- **Certificates & Diplomas** — Import certificate designs and add personalization fields
- **Reports & Invoices** — Convert PDF reports into automated document generators
- **Marketing Materials** — Bring in brochures or flyers and make them dynamic

---

### • Getting Started

1. Click **“Create Template”** from your dashboard
2. Select **“Import from PDF”**
3. Drag and drop your PDF file (or click to browse)
4. Wait a few seconds while we process the document
5. Review and edit your new template in the editor

---

**Note:** This feature works best with clean, well-structured PDFs. Complex designs with many overlapping elements may need some adjustments after import, but it gives you a great starting point.

Try it out and let us know what you think! 🚀

Best,

Pedro :)
