Claude.ai can make a PDF with file creation on. Other chat apps need a tool. These are the three PDF jobs people search for most: an invoice PDF, a business document PDF, and editing an existing PDF.
Claude.ai can make a PDF when file creation is on. In other apps, or for numbered invoices and edits to existing PDFs, connect a server: Invoice writes invoice PDFs, Billing Docs writes order and credit note PDFs, and PDF merges, splits and stamps.

In Claude.ai with code execution and file creation turned on, Claude can generate a PDF in its sandbox. In Claude Desktop, Cursor or VS Code without a tool, you get text only. And it never remembers invoice numbers or your business details between chats.
Invoice writes numbered A4 invoice PDFs. Billing Docs writes purchase order and credit note PDFs in the same layout, and the PDF server merges, splits, stamps and watermarks the PDFs you already have. Each tool returns the path of the new file.
Example scenarios built on the real tools of Invoice and Billing Docs and PDF. Names and amounts are invented.
