The Steps of Bulk Generate PDF Documents
Prerequisite: Sign up and Create a New Template
Before you begin, you’ll need to create an account on CraftMyPDF and set up a new template. The template defines the layout and design of your PDFs. Once you’ve created a template, you will receive a Template ID, which is required for the next steps.
In addition, you need sample data when designing a template. You can upload a CSV here, then use the “Copy” button to copy the JSON and paste it into the Data tab of the template.
Step 1: Upload CSV
Prepare a CSV file containing the data you want to use for generating PDFs. Each row in the CSV represents a single PDF document. For example, if you’re generating certificates, each row might include the name of the recipient, course title, and date.
-
Ensure your CSV headers match the variables defined in your template.
-
Upload the CSV file into the Bulk PDF Generator tool.
Step 2: Configure API
Once your CSV is uploaded, you’ll need to configure the API settings:
-
API Key: Copy your API key from the CraftMyPDF portal(in API Integration Tab) and paste it here.
-
Template ID: Enter the Template ID of the template you created earlier.
-
Generation Options: Customize settings such as:
-
Batch size (how many PDFs to generate per request)
-
Delay between batches (to avoid hitting rate limits)
-
etc …
-
Step 3: Generate PDFs
Now you’re ready to generate PDFs:
-
The tool will read each row of your CSV and send it to the CraftMyPDF API.
-
PDFs can be generated one by one or in bulk, depending on your configuration.
-
Track progress within the tool as your files are created.
-
Once completed, download all generated PDFs individually or as a ZIP file.
Bulk PDF Generator FAQs
Questions about generating PDF in bulk
1. What types of documents can I create?
Invoices, certificates, reports, tickets, receipts, labels — any type of document where layout + data merging makes sense.
2. Do I need programming skills or design experience?
Not necessarily. If you have a template ready (or use our template editor), you can map CSV fields to placeholders without code. For advanced use, API knowledge helps.
3. How many PDFs can I generate at once?
You can upload CSVs with many rows. You control batch size & delays to prevent overload or throttling. Depending on your CraftMyPDF plan, very large volumes are possible.
4. Can I schedule runs / automate this?
Yes — via the API, or integrations (Zapier, Make, etc.), you can trigger generation automatically (e.g. weekly reports, monthly invoices).
5. Can I preview before generating all PDFs?
Yes — typically you generate a sample PDF from one row/record for layout checking before launching the full batch.
6. Is there a delay or limit to how fast I can generate bunches of PDFs?
Yes, you can configure a delay between batches. This helps avoid hitting API rate limits or server resource constraints.
7. Is this secure? Are my data and output protected?
Yes — data is handled via secure connections; generated PDFs are yours. We follow data-privacy best practices, and support private templates / assets (logos, etc.). The generated PDFs will be expired in 3 hours after the generation.
