PSPDFGen

This is a PowerShell module to work with PDF Generator API: https://pdfgeneratorapi.com/

To be able to use this module, you must already have a PDF Generator API account.

How to set up

Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery:

Install-Module PSPDFGen

How to configure authentication

Create the module's auth:

New-PDFGenAuthConfig -key <key> -secret <secret> -workspace <workspace>

After this is run, the cmdlets no longer require explicit authentication.

Now you can also save the auth data:

Save-PDFGenAuthConfig

And load it from local storage:

Get-PDFGenAuthConfig

This stores the info encrypted in your home directory.pspdfgen\credentials.json (works on PS Core!)

How to use

To retrieve available templates:

Get-PDFGenTemplates

To generate a document based on their invoice template using partial example data:

$ht = @{
    TxnDate = (Get-Date).ToShortDateString()
    DueDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(30).ToShortDateString()
    CustomerInfo = @{
        CompanyName = 'Contoso'
    }
    Line = @(
        @{
            Name = 'Line 1'
            Description = 'Data on line 1'
        },
        @{
            Name = 'Line 2'
            Description = 'Data on line 2'
        }
    )
    TotalAmt = '$1000'
}
Get-PDFGenDocument -TemplateId 21648 -Data $ht -Format pdf -Output base64 -FilePath C:\Path\to\doc.pdf -PassThru

This will output a .pdf to the filepath specified.
