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

How to import a PDF
  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 :)
