Can I add text to PDF and send it to my customer

Absolutely, it’s possible to add text in a PDF and send it to your customer, and there are two API endpoints that can assist you with this task.

1. The first endpoint: pdf/edit/add, enables you to add text, images, and links to a PDF, and fill out a PDF form. See API Docs here and here.

2. The second endpoint: email/send, allows you to send the PDF output directly to your customer’s email address. See API Docs here
