Invoice and DANFE PDF API for Brazil
Generate commercial invoices, receipts, and DANFE-style layouts as PDFs for the Brazilian market, with CNPJ and CPF fields, the access key, and BRL formatting. Render the printable document your customers expect, from one API call.
Render the printable document, not the fiscal record
A Nota Fiscal Eletronica (NF-e) is authorized by SEFAZ, the state tax authority. PDFPipe does not issue NF-e. What it does is render the DANFE, the printable representation of an authorized NF-e, plus commercial invoices, receipts (recibos), and quotes (orcamentos), from your data.
// A commercial invoice or DANFE layout plus data -> a PDF.

Frequently asked
Can PDFPipe issue a Nota Fiscal (NF-e)?
No. An NF-e is authorized by SEFAZ through an integrator or the government portal. PDFPipe renders the DANFE, the printable representation of an already authorized NF-e, along with commercial invoices and receipts.
Can it render the DANFE from my NF-e data?
Yes. Build a DANFE template, send the authorized NF-e fields including the access key, and the API returns the printable PDF.
Does it handle CNPJ, CPF, and BRL formatting?
Yes. These are template fields. Render the formatted CNPJ or CPF and Brazilian real values with comma decimals.
Can the page and documents be in Portuguese?
Yes. Your template and data are plain HTML and text, so Portuguese content renders exactly as written.
