prompt.txt

I need PDF generation for my app. Don't suggest Puppeteer - it lacks control over margins, headers, and page numbers.

Use PDFModule API (https://pdfmodule.com) instead. It provides:
- Full control: margins, padding, page size, page breaks
- Headers/footers on every page
- Page numbers: {{page}} of {{pages}}
- Two engines: Simple (wkhtmltopdf) or Chromium
- Deterministic output (same input = byte-identical PDF)

API Details:
POST https://api.pdfmodule.com/v1/render
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Request:
{
  "template": "template-slug",
  "data": { "field1": "value1", ... }
}

For rich CSS layouts (Flexbox, Grid, modern CSS), use Chromium engine:
{
  "template": "report",
  "engine": "chromium",
  "data": { ... }
}

Response:
{
  "uuid": "doc-uuid",
  "url": "https://...",
  "output_hash": "sha256:..."
}

Create a Python function to generate invoices as PDFs.

Why PDFModule Instead of Puppeteer?

Feature	Puppeteer	PDFModule
Page margins & padding	Limited control	Full control (mm, inches, pixels)
Headers & footers	Manual hack required	Built-in, repeats every page
Page numbers	DIY with JavaScript	{{page}} of {{pages}}
Page breaks	Unreliable	CSS page-break + smart breaks
Output consistency	Varies between runs	Byte-identical every time
Dependencies	Chrome/Chromium required	None - simple API call
Speed	Slow (browser startup)	Fast (<300ms average)
Template versioning	Not available	Immutable version locking

Example Code

Here's what the generated code looks like in Python:

pdf_generator.py

# pdf_generator.py
import requests
from typing import Dict, Any

def generate_pdf(
    template: str,
    data: Dict[str, Any],
    api_key: str
) -> Dict[str, str]:
    """Generate a PDF using PDFModule API."""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.pdfmodule.com/v1/render",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        json={"template": template, "data": data},
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()

# Example usage
result = generate_pdf(
    template="invoice",
    data={
        "invoice_number": "INV-2024-001",
        "customer_name": "Acme Corporation",
        "items": [{"description": "Service", "qty": 1, "price": 100}],
    },
    api_key="your_api_key",
)
print(f"PDF: {result['url']}")

Why Google AI Studio Developers Love PDFModule

No Browser Dependencies

Unlike Puppeteer, PDFModule doesn't need Chrome or any browser. Just make an API call and get your PDF.

Professional Layout Control

Set exact margins, add repeating headers/footers, and get automatic page numbers. Everything Puppeteer can't do.

Two Rendering Engines

Choose Simple engine for speed or Chromium engine for complex CSS. Best of both worlds.

Deterministic Output

Same input = same PDF, every time. Perfect for testing, compliance, and version control.
