Make gives you detailed control over multi-step automation scenarios. PrefillPDF adds PDF generation and document extraction to those scenarios.
You can map fields from any previous module, send them into a template, parse the response, and continue the scenario with the generated document or extracted JSON.

Common Make workflows

Database row to PDF

Watch for new records, map fields into a PDF template, and store or distribute the finished file.

PDF intake and extraction

Watch a folder, receive a PDF, extract structured JSON, and route the data into downstream modules.

Scheduled batch generation

Generate recurring invoices, reports, statements, or certificates from structured records.

3

Map the response

Use Make's mapping tools to access the returned PDF or extracted JSON fields.

4

Complete the workflow

Save files, update records, notify users, or branch the scenario based on extracted values.

Can I map extracted JSON into later Make modules?

Yes. The extraction response can be parsed and mapped into CRM, database, spreadsheet, email, and other modules.

Can Make generate multiple PDFs in one scenario?

Yes. Use iterators, arrays, or repeated scenario runs to generate documents from multiple records.
