PDF generation has always been a developer task. You write HTML, style it with CSS, configure page settings, and connect it to a rendering engine. The template alone can take days, especially for complex documents like financial reports with charts, multi-page contracts with conditional sections, or product catalogs with varied layouts. PDFBolt's AI PDF generator changes this workflow. Instead of writing code, you describe the document you want. The AI builds the PDF template, you connect your data, and the API produces PDFs.

PDFBolt Templates is a new feature that separates design from data in PDF generation. Instead of rebuilding HTML for every document, create reusable layouts once and populate them with dynamic data. Invoices, certificates, reports – Templates make your workflow faster and easier to maintain.

Building dynamic, data-driven websites means generating HTML from live data. Template engines handle this by combining HTML layouts with variables, loops, and conditionals. This article covers what template engines are, how they work, their benefits, and the most popular options for Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, and Ruby.

This tutorial walks through generating a certificate PDF using Pyppeteer and Mako templates in Python. We'll set up the project, design an HTML certificate template, populate it with data, and convert it to PDF using Pyppeteer's headless browser.
