Generating PDFs and Documents Server-Side

Generating PDFs and Documents Server-Side

Invoices, contracts, certificates and reports often need to be produced as polished, downloadable documents. Generating these on the server gives you consistent, professional results every time, no matter what device the user is on.

It also means documents can be created automatically — a receipt the moment an order is paid, a monthly statement without anyone lifting a finger.

Why Generate on the Server

  • Identical output regardless of the user's device.
  • Documents can be produced automatically by the system.
  • Sensitive data never leaves your control.
  • Files can be stored, emailed or archived as needed.

Getting the Detail Right

Good document generation respects your branding, handles long content gracefully across pages, and produces files that print correctly. We treat layout as carefully as we would a web page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can documents use our branding?

Absolutely. Logos, fonts, colours and layout all follow your brand so every document looks professional.

Can they be generated in bulk?

Yes. Bulk runs are handled as background jobs so producing thousands of documents never holds up the site.
