Generate a blank PDF in Flutter

Markdown version of this page, suitable for AI agents and automation

PDF generation is available only on the legacy method-channel API (package:nutrient_flutter/nutrient_flutter.dart), which is deprecated in Nutrient Flutter SDK 6. The APIs on this page aren’t part of the bindings API yet. They still work in SDK 6; import the legacy library to use them alongside bindings.dart if you use both. Nutrient plans to add a bindings equivalent. In the meantime, refer to the platform adapters guide to use native processors. For details, refer to the Flutter SDK 6 migration guide.

Use Nutrient(opens in a new tab) to create blank PDF documents.

The following example creates a new one-page blank PDF document from a NewPage object(opens in a new tab). A NewPage object can define the page size, colors, patterns, images, and pages from other documents. After processing, Nutrient saves the new blank document to outputPath:

// Location where to save the generated PDF.
String outputPath = '<writable-output-path>';


List<NewPage> pages = [
    // `NewPage` from blank PDF pattern.
    NewPage.fromPattern(
        PagePattern.blank, pageSize: PageSize.a5),
];


// Generate blank PDF document.
var filePath = await Nutrient.generatePdf(pages, outputPath);
