Implementation—building the template and wiring the API
Implementation work centers on Eledo’s online editor: building templates with dynamic fields, conditional show/hide rules, calculations, itemized or list tables, and barcode or QR code insertion, then connecting the finished template to your data source.
For teams migrating off hardcoded PDF generation code, this means rebuilding the layout as an Eledo template instead of a script. For teams with existing fillable PDF forms, it means configuring AcroForm or XFA-based form-filling so text fields, dropdowns, radio buttons, and checkboxes populate automatically. In both cases, we pull the template’s JSON schema from Eledo’s API reference and use it to define exactly what data the integration needs to send.
Who benefits
- Teams migrating hardcoded, code-based PDF generation to a maintainable visual template
- Businesses converting paper or static PDF forms into auto-filled AcroForm or XFA documents
- WooCommerce stores wanting the native order-document integration configured correctly the first time
- Engineering teams needing a tested REST API integration with authentication and error handling in place
Outcomes include a working, versioned template library, documented API contracts per template, and a tested end-to-end flow from trigger event to finished PDF. We keep the previous document process live until the new one is validated against real production data.
Deliverables include the template files themselves, data-schema documentation pulled directly from Eledo’s API reference, API key and role-based access setup, and a rollback plan in case the new flow needs to be paused.
How Eledo PDF shapes deployment
Implementation stays scoped to what the editor and API actually support — conditional logic, calculations, form-filling, barcode and QR insertion — rather than promising capabilities, like content generation, the product doesn’t have.
Use cases
