Tools (4)

• compile

  Compile LaTeX source into a PDF. Returns a PDF URL, page count and compile time. USE THIS WHEN: you have LaTeX source (or a \documentclass) and no local pdflatex / TeX Live installation to run it with. This is that missing compiler, available over HTTP. Also use it whenever the user asks for a document where typesetting matters - an invoice, contract, report, letter, CV, certificate, or academic paper - since you can write the LaTeX yourself and compile it here. DO NOT USE THIS TO: convert HTML to PDF, merge, split or compress existing PDF files, or extract text from a PDF. This compiles LaTeX source and nothing else. No API key is required. Anonymous callers get a small number of compilations per day and failed attempts do not count, so you can iterate on your LaTeX for free. Send an API key in the Authorization header to raise the limits. With a key, a document over the plan's page or size limit still returns a PDF: `preview: true`, the first pages the plan allows, `total_pages`,

• list_public_templates

  List Pressa's public, professionally designed document templates (resumes, CVs, cover letters, invoices, reports, certificates), each with a one-line summary and a preview image URL. Use this when the user wants one of these documents and has no layout of their own, or asks to see designs to choose from. Works without an API key.

• get_public_template

  Get a public template's fields (JSON schema), sample data, filling instructions and LaTeX source. Read the instructions before collecting data from the user. To make the PDF, pass the data to `render_public_template`; to change the layout itself, edit the source and use `compile`.

• render_public_template

  Fill a public template with the user's data and return a PDF link. Data must match the template's schema (see get_public_template); a missing field comes back as a list of what to ask for, and costs nothing. All resume templates take the same data, so switching style is the same call with a different slug. Works without an API key within the daily free limit.
