Describe the job, get a polished invoice PDF
Instead of fiddling with invoice templates, describe the work you did in a sentence or two. Claude Code builds a Node.js application using pdfkit that parses your description into structured line items, calculates subtotals and VAT, and generates a branded PDF invoice. The output is a local PDF file you can email or upload to your accounting software manually.
Target audience: Freelancers, consultants, and small agencies who invoice clients regularly
