Generate text or use your own
Use di Ollama example wey follow, your own local model or plain text from an application. Python SDK no need cloud account or API key.

Na your AI. Your document. Your printer.
Carry local AI output go paper. Turn text to well-arranged A4 PDF, choose printer and approve di exact job before e enter di print queue.
After setup, processing dey happen for your computer. Physical printing dey available for Windows 10/11.

Notes and advice
Na you go approve am first
Check di PDF, printer and number of copies inside di Windows confirmation window.
E dey wait for your confirmationFrom answer to document wey you fit use.
One local renderer dey connect your model, application and printer.
Create A4 PDF
Convert text or PTDF semantic blocks with di existing pasteToPrint renderer. Fonts, page layout and PDF generation dey stay for your computer. Network requests no fit pass while rendering dey happen.
Approve am, then print
Choose an installed printer and 1–99 copies. Di native Windows window go ask you to confirm before e send di job. Use di actual print job ID to follow am for di queue.
Few lines of code. Document don ready.
After installation, these examples dey use di packages wey you download. Di print example go open confirmation window every time.

To create PDF no mean say you don approve printing. Di confirmation window go show file, printer, page count and number of copies. Di default answer na “No”; SDK no get option to confirm without user action.
Protection against repeated printing
Permanent local record go link each request key to one job and check whether PDF content and settings match. If job outcome no clear, e no go send di job again by itself. Deliberate repeat need fresh confirmation.
See wetin dey happen for queue
Follow jobs as dem dey queue, print, pause or get error. If queue accept job, e no prove say paper don come out. If SDK no fit know di outcome, e go report unknown state.
MCP for your assistant. Na separate integration.
Di standalone MCP server dey connect AI assistant to Document API v2 through PTDF. Di default API endpoint dey hosted; e no automatically use di offline PDF or print module. For local deployment, configure local API wey e fit reach.
See MCP and Document APIPrepare am once. Work locally after.
To generate PDF, you need Python 3.10+, Node.js 20+ and installed Chrome, Edge or Chromium. Physical printing also need Windows 10/11, interactive desktop session and installed printer wey support A4.
For di AI example, install Ollama and download local model ahead of time. Turn cloud features off and restart Ollama. SDK go check this setting before e send prompt, and e no go accept cloud model aliases.
Di fonts wey follow cover Latin, extended Latin and symbols. Test your document language and printer before real work; di 48 website languages no guarantee say PDF fonts cover every language.
Start with local PDF
- 01
Download and prepare am
Unpack di toolkit inside a working folder. Install di required runtimes and browser first. Di archive no contain Node dependencies, browser or AI model weights. Prepare them before you disconnect internet.
- 02
Install di local packages
Run these commands for PowerShell from di unpacked folder. Di first command go download di PDF module dependency during setup. Di Python wheel package go install without contacting package index.
npm.cmd install --ignore-scripts ./packages/pastetoprint-local-pdf-0.1.0.tgz python -m pip install --no-index --no-deps ./packages/pastetoprint_sdk-0.2.0-py3-none-any.whl $env:PASTETOPRINT_PDF_MODULE = (Resolve-Path "./node_modules/@pastetoprint/local-pdf").Path python ./examples/text_to_pdf.py - 03
Generate, check, approve
Open di sample PDF wey follow or run di Python example. For Ollama, prepare di model and start di server with cloud features off. To print, list your printers, enter di exact printer name and confirm di job for di Windows window.

Di whole process fit work without internet?
Yes. Di local Python → PDF → Windows printing flow go work offline after you prepare all dependencies, browser and any Ollama model. E no use cloud renderer. Initial setup fit need downloads; di separate MCP bridge dey use its own configured API endpoint.
If I click dis page, anything go print?
No. Dis page dey provide downloads and code examples. Printing dey run through di installed local SDK. Every prepared job need fresh confirmation wey you go see for di Windows window.
Which systems support physical printing?
Di current print module support Windows 10/11 with desktop session and installed printer. E dey print single-sided A4 and fit di content to di printable area. Dis release no include physical printing for macOS or Linux.
E ready for production printing without person?
Na developer preview wey require human confirmation. Test your own printer, documents, fonts and local data handling. Automated tests and native read-only checks no replace a physical print test wey you approve for your hardware.
Carry your next AI answer go paper.
Start with di local PDF sample, then connect your model and printer.
