Document automation

Documents that generate themselves

Stop producing documents manually. Build a template once, connect it to your data source, and let every invoice, contract, report, and label generate automatically, at any scale.

The problem

Manual document creation doesn't scale

At ten documents a week it feels manageable. At a hundred it becomes someone's full-time job. At a thousand it becomes a bottleneck that slows everything downstream.

Describe your situation
01
Copy-paste errors compound
Every manually produced document is a chance for the wrong name, wrong figure, or wrong date to go out. At volume, these errors become a customer service problem.
02
Brand and format drift
Different team members produce different versions. Fonts change. Logos move. Sections get added or removed. No two documents from six months apart look quite the same.
03
No programmatic control
Your CRM, ERP, or database has the data. Your documents need it. But there's no direct connection, someone is always copying between the two systems.
04
Accessibility and compliance gaps
PDFs produced in Word or by screenshot don't meet EAA accessibility requirements, no reading order, no alt text, no tagged structure. From 2025 this is a legal exposure.

How it works

From first template to automated production

Self-service customers can be generating documents within hours. Integration projects take a bit longer, but the process is always clear.

01
Design your template
Use Printout Designer to build the layout, or upload an existing PDF. Add variable fields where your data will go. No code needed at this stage.
02
Connect your data
Call the API with a JSON payload matching your template variables. Or let us build the connection from your existing system, CRM, ERP, database, or spreadsheet.
03
Generate at scale
Single documents on demand, or batch generation for hundreds at once. Output as PDF, HTML, or base64. Deliver to email, S3, webhook, or directly to the user.
04
Update without re-coding
Template changes, new logo, updated layout, revised legal text, are made in the designer. No code deployment. No developer involved. Changes go live immediately.
