I’m probably over thinking this, so I need your help.
I want to create a form for users to fill out. I have the prompts that will transform the user input into the proper format for a PDF template (See attahced).
I want the out put to be the the one shee filled out. Does the make sense.
** I know I can upload the pdf to someting like Claude, and have it convert my pdf to html, and then ask claude to create “variable” inputs for the one pager.
The issue is that the output never looks lke the orginal.
***I know ther are some solutions ( like https://docraptor.com/ ) that have api and I can probably upload my pdf, conver to html, and manually create the variables to the one sheet.
Yes, you’re absolutely on the right track! You can definitely create a custom action within Pickaxe to handle this process. By leveraging an API like DocRaptor, you can input the user’s form data, process it, and generate a properly formatted PDF that maintains the original design.
As long as you have access to the API keys, you can incorporate them directly into the custom action code. Here’s the general approach:
Set Up the Custom Action: Write a script that takes the user inputs, formats them as needed, and sends them to the PDF generation API.
Secure the API Keys: Add the API keys to the environment variables or directly into the custom action (if it’s a secure environment). This ensures seamless integration.
Test and Tweak: Run several tests to ensure the generated PDF looks as expected and matches the template design. Adjust the code or inputs if necessary to perfect the output.
With this setup, you’ll be able to create a smooth workflow that transforms user input into a polished PDF. This method is scalable and can even be repurposed for tasks like generating landing pages. Great work so far!
Also, you can create a custom PDF action. Check out this thread for details:
If you still need help putting this together, send me a DM so we can hop on a discovery call!
