Docweave vs CraftMyPDF

CraftMyPDF is a template-based PDF generation service for producing documents from reusable layouts. Docweave supports the same template + JSON workflow — and adds raw HTML and URL sources, Chromium rendering, per-document pricing, and an MCP-native generate_pdf tool for AI agents.

Where Docweave differs

• →MCP-native and agent-first. A first-class, open-source generate_pdf tool (npx @docweave/mcp) any MCP client can call directly.
• →More than templates. Render a template + JSON, raw HTML, or a public URL — all from the same endpoint.
• →Per-document pricing. Billed per document rather than per page, so pricing is predictable across document sizes.
• →Chromium rendering. The same layout engine you develop against in the browser produces the final PDF.

Switching from CraftMyPDF

Send a template and JSON data to a single endpoint and get a PDF back:

curl https://docweave.dev/api/v1/pdf \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dw_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "source": {
      "type": "template",
      "template": "<h1>Invoice {{ number }}</h1><p>Total: {{ total }}</p>",
      "data": { "number": "1024", "total": "$480.00" }
    },
    "options": { "format": "A4" }
  }' \
  --output invoice.pdf
