Documenso Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example that creates a document, adds a recipient with a signature field, and sends it for signing — all in one script. Uses the Documenso TypeScript SDK (v2 API) with a Python equivalent.

Prerequisites

• Completed documenso-install-auth setup
• Valid API key in DOCUMENSO_API_KEY environment variable
• A PDF file to upload (or generate a test one below)

Instructions

Step 1: Generate a Test PDF (Optional)

If you don't have a PDF handy:

npm install pdf-lib

// generate-test-pdf.ts
import { PDFDocument, StandardFonts } from "pdf-lib";
import { writeFileSync } from "fs";

async function createTestPdf() {
  const pdf = PDFDocument.create();
  const page = (await pdf).addPage([612, 792]); // US Letter
  const font = await (await pdf).embedFont(StandardFonts.Helvetica);
  page.drawText("Please sign below:", { x: 50, y: 700, size: 16, font });
  const bytes = await ( pdf).();
  (, bytes);
  .();
}
();
