Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the CraftMyPDF API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the CraftMyPDF API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcraftmypdf.com%2Fcraftmypdf" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fcraftmypdf.com%2Fcraftmypdf" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with CraftMyPDF API.

Generate a PDF or image synchronously from a saved template merged with JSON data

Generate a PDF asynchronously when the document is large or rendering takes longer

Merge multiple PDF files into a single combined document

List saved templates and retrieve a single template's details

Embed a hosted template editor in another product so end users can design their own layouts

Use Cases

Patterns agents use CraftMyPDF API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Invoice and Receipt Generation

An accounting workflow renders a branded invoice for each completed sale. POST /create with the invoice template ID and a JSON payload of line items returns the PDF binary, which is emailed to the customer and stored against the order. The drag-and-drop template means design changes do not require code deploys, and finance can update the layout themselves.

Call POST /create with template_id 'tmpl_inv01' and the invoice JSON, then attach the resulting PDF to the customer's order email.

Bulk Report Rendering

A scheduled job produces hundreds of monthly account reports. For each customer, the job calls POST /create-async with the report template and customer data, then polls for the rendered file. The async endpoint avoids HTTP timeouts on large or slow renders, and the result is uploaded to object storage for the customer's portal.

For each customer in the monthly batch, POST /create-async with the report template ID and customer data, store the returned PDF in S3 under reports/{customerId}/2026-06.pdf.

Document Bundling

A loan-origination workflow bundles signed disclosures, the application form, and the credit report into a single PDF for archival. POST /merge-pdfs accepts URLs or base64-encoded files and returns one combined PDF. This avoids using a separate PDF library and keeps the bundling step in the same API.

Call POST /merge-pdfs with the URLs of the signed disclosures, application form, and credit report PDFs, then store the combined output as the loan archive document.

Self-Serve Template Editing

A SaaS product lets each customer design their own quote template. POST /create-editor-session returns a short-lived URL that loads the CraftMyPDF editor inside an iframe scoped to that user. The user saves their template, and the parent product references the template ID when generating quotes. This adds custom branding without building a layout editor in-house.

Call POST /create-editor-session for user 8821, embed the returned URL in an iframe, and on save record the template_id against the user.

Agent-Driven PDF Generation

An AI assistant in a billing workflow turns user requests like 'send a paid receipt for invoice 4421' into a CraftMyPDF render and an outbound email. Through Jentic, the agent finds the right CraftMyPDF endpoint by intent, attaches the API key from the vault, and returns the resulting PDF without holding the raw key.

Search Jentic for 'generate pdf from template on craftmypdf', execute POST /create with the receipt template and the invoice payload, and return the PDF URL.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring CraftMyPDF by hand means managing its API-key header and choosing between the synchronous /create and the /create-async path depending on document size yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import CraftMyPDF from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

CraftMyPDF passes template ids and data in the request body rather than as URL resource ids, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as generating a PDF or merging PDFs. Reading templates or account info stays out unless you include those operations.

Credential isolation

Your CraftMyPDF API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected as the request header at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'generate an invoice PDF' or 'merge PDFs', and Jentic returns the matching CraftMyPDF operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using CraftMyPDF API through Jentic.

What authentication does the CraftMyPDF API use?

CraftMyPDF uses an API key sent in a request header. Through Jentic, the API key is stored encrypted in the vault and added to outgoing requests at execution time, so it never appears in the agent's prompt.

Can I generate a PDF asynchronously through the CraftMyPDF API?

Yes. POST /create-async submits a render job and returns a transaction reference. This is the right call when the PDF is large or the template is heavy enough that synchronous rendering risks an HTTP timeout.

How do I merge several PDFs through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'merge pdfs on craftmypdf', load POST /merge-pdfs, and execute with the array of PDF URLs or base64 strings to combine. The response is the merged PDF, which Jentic streams back to the agent.

Can I let users design their own templates inside my product?

Yes. POST /create-editor-session returns a scoped URL that loads the CraftMyPDF template editor in an iframe. The session is tied to a specific user and template, so the user's design changes apply only to their tenant.

What are the rate limits for the CraftMyPDF API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare numeric rate limits. CraftMyPDF enforces fair-use limits and a per-plan credit balance that GET /account-info returns. Production integrations should check remaining credits and back off on 429 responses.

Is the CraftMyPDF API free?

CraftMyPDF offers a free tier with limited monthly credits and paid plans for higher volumes. GET /account-info returns the current plan and remaining credits so an agent can decide whether to render or queue.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the CraftMyPDF API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which CraftMyPDF operations and credentials the agent may use. CraftMyPDF passes template IDs and data in the request body rather than as URL resource IDs, so you scope the agent to just the operations it needs, such as POST /create to generate a PDF or POST /merge-pdfs to combine files. Read operations like GET /list-templates and GET /account-info stay off unless you explicitly include them.

For Agents

Generate PDFs and images from JSON data and templates, merge PDFs, and embed a hosted template editor with CraftMyPDF. Use when an agent needs to produce branded PDF output programmatically.

Use for: Generate an invoice PDF from this JSON payload, Render a packing slip from template 4471, Merge three signed PDFs into one bundle, List the available CraftMyPDF templates in my account

Not supported: Does not handle e-signatures, PDF text extraction, or CRM-style document storage - use for generating, merging, and templating PDFs only.

CraftMyPDF provides a REST API for generating PDF documents and images from drag-and-drop templates merged with JSON data. The seven-endpoint API covers synchronous and asynchronous PDF generation, template listing and retrieval, multi-file PDF merging, account information, and a hosted editor session for end users to design their own templates. Authentication uses an API key sent in a header, and the production base URL is api.craftmypdf.com/v1.
