When to create a PDF from scratch
Sometimes you don't have a Word document or template to convert — you just need to write something and produce a clean PDF. Invoices, letters, simple reports, certificates, cover pages, quick reference sheets, meeting agendas — any content you want to write once and share as a professional-looking PDF without installing Word or paying for Acrobat.

Create a simple PDF invoice
A common use: write a basic invoice in under 5 minutes. Add your business name as H1, client details as a paragraph, insert a table for line items (description, quantity, rate, total), add a totals row, include payment instructions below the table, and export. The result is a clean, professional PDF. For GST-compliant invoices for Indian businesses, use the dedicated GST Invoice Generator instead.
