Import from PDF – Convert Any PDF to an Editable Template

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 :)
