How can I generate a PDF file with n8n?

[mcnaveen]

I have a JSON Object getting as HTTP Response.

{  
    "employee": {  
        "name":       "Rocky",   
        "salary":     "5000",   
        "active":     "true"
    }  
} 

I want to generate a PDF file with this JSON.

Is it possible?

Hi @mcnaveen,

Quick answer is yes you can create a PDF using the APITemplate.io Node

Hello @mcnaveen ,
with carboneio/carbone: Fast and simple report generator, from JSON to pdf, xslx, docx, odt… (github.com)
it could be a good option no ?

Wow, This looks super cool. I’ll try and let you know.

Hi @mcnaveen

I’m using Google Docs to generate a document from a template and get the pdf of that document

In my use case I start with Google Sheet, but it could be with HTTP Request

Here’s code for this workflow that you can adapt to your use case

Looks like google has updated their format. I use this https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/[FILE ID]/export?mimeType=application%2Fpdf&key=[API KEY] and it works great.
