Three steps, then it runs itself

Design a template, configure an API call, generate PDFs from your app.

1

Design your template

Use our drag-and-drop editor and add dynamic fields like {{name}} or {{invoice_total}}.

2

Create an API Call

In FlutterFlow, create a POST request to the TemplateFox API. Map your app data to template variables.

3

Receive your PDF

Get your PDF URL instantly. Display in a WebView, download, or share via the native share sheet.

Built for real-world documents

Everything you need to create professional business documents, from invoices to packing slips.

1

Headers & footers that just work

Dynamic data binding

Inject any data into your templates. Names, addresses, prices, etc. — everything updates automatically.

3

Tables that grow with your data

Rows grow automatically with your data. 3 items or 300, the table adapts and spans multiple pages if needed.

4

Built-in QR codes & barcodes

Generated on the fly from your data. Supports Code128, EAN-13, QR codes and more — all scanner-ready.

Easy to use

Documents that adapt to your data

Go beyond simple placeholders. Use expressions to format, calculate, and control your content.

1

Use system variables

Access page numbers, total pages, and current date and more automatically with {{sys.page_number}} and friends.

2

Customize every component

Fine-tune content, borders, colors, sizes, positions, and more. Each element has its own properties panel.

3

Built-in functions

Format dates, calculate totals, round numbers, and more. Use 100+ built-in functions or create your own.

Is FlutterFlow right for you?

FlutterFlow is perfect for cross-platform mobile and web apps. Here's how to decide.

Recommended
FlutterFlow

Use FlutterFlow if you need:

  • Building mobile apps (iOS + Android)
  • Cross-platform web + mobile from one codebase
  • No-code app development with visual builder
  • Firebase/Supabase backend integration

Or consider:

  • • Full code control needed
  • • Custom Flutter development

Frequently asked questions

Is my API key safe inside a compiled mobile app?

Anything bundled in a mobile app can be extracted by a determined user — that's true of every API key in every app, not just ours. For low-stakes side projects this is fine. For production apps, the right pattern is to call TemplateFox from your own backend (Cloud Function, Supabase Edge Function, your own server) and have FlutterFlow call your backend instead. The key never ships to the device.

What can I do with the PDF once it's generated?

TemplateFox returns a URL and FlutterFlow gives you several ways to use it: open in a WebView, display in a PDF viewer widget, download to the device, or pass it to the native iOS/Android share sheet. Pick whichever fits your UX — the same URL supports all of them.

Does it work offline?

No — generation runs in the cloud and the URL is returned over the network. If your users need PDFs without connectivity, the typical pattern is to generate and download them in advance while online, then have your app open the local file when offline.

Can users save the PDF to their device or share it from my app?

Yes — that's standard FlutterFlow territory. Use the Download / File Picker action to save the PDF locally, or the Share action to push it through the native share sheet (Mail, Messages, AirDrop, Drive, anything the user has installed). Both work cross-platform without extra setup.
