Short, working walkthroughs for generating PDFs from your app's data. Each one starts with the answer.

• Generate PDF invoices in Node.js and Next.js

  Map your order to Quire's typed InvoiceData object and call quire.render(invoice, { template: "invoice" }) from a route handler, then return pdf.bytes with a Content-Type of application/pdf. There's no HTML to write and no headless browser to run; the invoice template computes subtotal, tax and total for you.

• Generate a PDF from JSON in Python (FastAPI and Django)

  Install quirepdf, build a dict with your data and call Quire().render(data); the result's content attribute holds the PDF bytes, and save(path) writes them to a file. In FastAPI or Django, return result.content with the media type application/pdf.

• Turn any JSON into a PDF with one API call

  POST your JSON object to https://api.quirepdf.dev/v1/render with your API key, and the response body is the PDF. No template is needed; to make it read like a real document, add a title, from and to, set currency, and order the keys the way you want the sections to appear.

• Let Claude generate PDFs with the Quire MCP server

  Add Quire's MCP server with claude mcp add quire --env QUIRE_API_KEY=qk_live_... -- npx -y quirepdf-mcp (or the equivalent mcpServers entry in Claude Desktop). Claude can then turn any data in the conversation into a PDF saved on your machine, using a gallery template when one fits and checking pages as PNG images.
