FAQ from PDF Generator MCP Server

Where are generated PDFs saved?

By default, PDFs are saved to the user’s Downloads folder if only a filename or relative path is given. Use an absolute path to save elsewhere.

What image sources does PDF Generator MCP Server support?

It supports local file paths (absolute), remote URLs, and base64 data URLs. All images are automatically optimized, cached, and limited to 70% of page height.

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js 18 or higher and Playwright browsers (automatically installed) are required.

Can I create and reuse custom styles?

Yes, the create_custom_style tool lets you save a style with a name, description, prompt, theme, custom CSS, page settings, and features (TOC, page numbers, headers). Use generate_pdf_with_style to apply it.

What themes are included?

Four built‑in themes: Default (clean general docs), Professional (corporate letterhead), Minimal (distraction‑free), and Dark (high‑contrast for presentations).
