Paprika has three parts that share one layout engine, so what you see while designing is what every generated document looks like:

  • The editor, in the browser: you design a template’s pages, mark the text and images that change as fields, and publish the template.
  • The generation API: your systems send values for the fields and get back PDFs (screen or print-ready PDF/X-4) or page images, one at a time, as background jobs, or in batches.
  • The authoring MCP server: an AI assistant designs and edits templates with the same tools.

Two tutorials, about 15 minutes each, take you from an empty page to rendered documents:

  1. Design your first template: a conference badge, with fields for the name, role and photo, published.
  2. Render it from the API: badges for real people, from the published template.
