Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: joins 2-20 PDFs (public http(s) URLs, in the given order, e.g. earlier download_url values) into one PDF and returns the hosted primary_url (never the file bytes). The source files are not changed or deleted. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted. POST /v2/merge-pdfs (export_type=json).
```

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: renders one image (JPEG and PNG) from a saved image template, changing the named layers with overrides (e.g. [{"name":"text_1","text":"Hello"},{"name":"image_1","src":"https://..."}]), and returns the hosted download URLs (never the file bytes).

COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted. POST /v2/create-pdf (export_type=json).

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: renders one PDF from HTML (Jinja2 placeholders like {{name}} are filled from data), without a saved template, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: APITemplate.io opens one public web page URL and prints it to a PDF, and returns the hosted download_url (never the file bytes). The page is fetched by APITemplate.io, not by this server; pages that need a login cannot be printed. COST: uses 1 generation of your APITemplate.io plan quota per call (see apitemplate_get_account). Do not retry or repeat it unless needed; every call is counted. POST /v2/create-pdf-from-url (export_type=json).
