Creating product sheets and sharing catalogs should be simple, but for many businesses, it remains a slow, manual process filled with repetitive tasks and errors. Generating PDFs for different configurations, customers, or regions takes valuable time.
Imagine a manufacturer producing fasteners in 10 sizes, 5 materials, and 6 coatings, resulting in 300 variations. A single update, such as a material certification change, requires reformatting hundreds of PDFs, delaying sales and increasing the risk of outdated information.
Our new PDF Export functionality changes that. Generate professional, up-to-date product documents in real time with no design tools, no formatting struggles, and no errors.
The Problems with Manual PDF Creation
Manually creating product sheets and catalogs is slow. Messy. Inefficient. Yet many companies still piece together product information using Word, InDesign, or Publisher. Every update? A time-consuming repeat of the same process.
That’s why so many businesses settle for a one-size-fits-all catalog. Customization takes too much effort. But that’s just one issue. Branding gets inconsistent. Formatting varies from team to team. And errors slip through. Outdated details. Incorrect specs. Missed opportunities.
It all adds up to wasted time and harder sales. The right product information should be easy to update, accurate, and ready to go. Instead, outdated methods make everything harder.
How PDF Export Solves These Issues
With Sales Layer’s PDF Export tool, these challenges shrink to a fraction of the effort. Users can now generate customized, professional PDFs in real time, directly from their product data.
What makes it a game changer?

- Instant document generation Select multiple products and create a formatted PDF in seconds.
- Consistency across all materials Ensure all branding, images, and product information stay uniform.
