pdfzen

Fetch the full HTML body, CSS, sampleData, and pageOptions for one starter template by slug. Use this when you need to understand the exact shape of `data` the template expects before calling render_template_to_pdf, or when you want to fork a starter into custom HTML. Free, no payment, no auth required.

Render one of the 45 starter templates into a PDF. Returns the PDF as base64-encoded bytes in the tool result. **Settled per call via x402 USDC on Base mainnet — $0.006 per render.** Pass the signed payment authorization in the X-PAYMENT header on the outer POST /mcp HTTP request. If the header is missing, this tool returns a structured PaymentRequirement that x402-aware runtimes (Coinbase Agent Kit, x402-fetch) auto-sign and retry. Your user-supplied `data` is merged ON TOP of the template sampleData, so partial payloads inherit demo defaults — handy for incremental input (e.g. only the customer's name + total, ship the rest as the demo).

Render arbitrary Handlebars-flavoured HTML into a PDF. Use only when no starter fits the user request (one-off layouts, custom branding the user described in chat). Prefer render_template_to_pdf when a starter matches — output quality is more predictable. Returns the PDF as base64-encoded bytes. **Settled per call via x402 USDC on Base mainnet — $0.006 per render.** Pass the signed payment in the X-PAYMENT header on the outer POST /mcp request. If missing, returns a PaymentRequirement to sign.
