# Create a PDF and digital product catalogue from one product base.

Present your range professionally without arranging every product by hand. Use the PDF for a defined edition and the online catalogue for the current buying journey. For an owner, this means a sales presentation the team can update without rebuilding layout work; for buyers, it means finding an organised range, understanding the pack and moving the conversation forward with more confidence.

01

## A catalogue your sales team can keep current

Start with consistent codes, names, photos and categories. Select the products and price table for the audience, choose the layout and generate the PDF. Keep a clear edition name so the team can identify the current file.

↗ View details](https://catalogmobile.com/assets/media/alimentos-bebidas-pdf-1200-139bca470b.webp)Illustrative example with real reference products and localized names.

02

## What to review before sharing

Check a low-price and a high-price product, long names, category order and a product with multiple photos. Open the PDF on a phone as well as a computer. The best layout is the one your buyer can read comfortably.

03

## Use a PDF and an online catalogue for different moments

A PDF is a defined edition for a campaign, presentation or print. A catalogue link lets a buyer browse categories and prepare a product list when that journey is configured. Reusing one product base reduces the chance of two teams maintaining different versions.

04

## Make the product choice explicit

A buyer needs the commercial code, name, correct pack photo, selling unit and the price intended for that audience. Keep internal cost, confidential notes and tax rules out of the public selection; they do not help a buyer decide what to add.

05

## A downloaded PDF does not update itself

The file preserves the data used to generate it. After changing the catalogue, generate a new PDF and replace old links or attachments in your sales routine. An online catalogue is useful when prices and availability change frequently.

06

## Example: beauty and personal-care product selection

A distributor can start with body wash, shampoo, conditioner and kits, making fragrance, volume and selling unit clear. The PDF introduces the line; the link avoids a conversation made of unrelated product photos.

07

## What a product catalogue does not replace

The catalogue helps a customer understand the product range. Credit, tax rules, availability confirmation, delivery, invoicing and payment remain in the operational process your team has validated.

08

## Validate the first edition before publishing the whole range

Use one category and a colleague who knows the operation. Compare source data, the exported PDF and the buyer view. Questions about a name, image, code or pack are useful evidence for improving the selection before expanding it.

09

## Example: a distributor’s weekly product selection

A food distributor can select one category, check pack sizes and commercial prices, generate a short PDF for a campaign and send the online link alongside it. The PDF introduces the range; the link gives the customer a path to select items.

10

## When a manual PDF becomes a sales bottleneck

Loose photos, parallel spreadsheets and similarly named files leave sellers and buyers without a clear reference. The issue is not design alone: it is knowing which product, pack and price belong in each presentation.

11

## Prepare data buyers can use

Start with a commercial SKU, clear name, correct pack photo, category, selling unit and audience price. Keep internal cost, confidential notes and tax rules away from the buyer-facing selection.

An example of the generated output

## Two prices. Identifiable products. A page ready to share.

This beauty accessories catalog shows photos, names, codes and two price conditions together. Buyers can connect each price to the right product without comparing separate lists.

Use an edition like this to introduce a range or campaign. Check the meaning of each price, the product data and the generation date before sending it. When conditions change, generate and share an updated edition.

Localized visual adaptation of a supplied system reference, with illustrative values. This image shows payment conditions; the interactive example shows quantity tiers. These are separate uses, subject to the selected configuration.

Food & beverages

Buyers need weight, pack and selling unit before choosing quantity.

The right format for each moment

## Present the range. Build interest. Make choosing easier.

### Present a defined edition

Bring a product line, campaign or selection into a file that can be shared and printed. A PDF keeps the data used when it was generated: publish a new edition when prices change.

02Link

### Help customers choose and order

Buyers browse categories, inspect products and select quantities in the online catalog. Your team retains the commercial review, according to the settings of your operation.

03Promotion

### Draw attention to the right products

Use a product composition to introduce new arrivals or a selection during customer conversations. The image starts the conversation; the catalog holds the details for the next step.

BEFORE YOU START

## What you need to know before you start

### Do I need design experience?

You configure the layout and commercial information using the product’s PDF controls. Start with a short selection to check readability before exporting the complete range.

### Can I print the PDF?

A downloaded PDF can be printed. Check the selected paper format, image resolution and legibility in a test print.

### Does the online catalog replace the PDF?

You can use both. A PDF is useful as a fixed presentation; a browser link helps buyers browse the catalog and prepare an order.

### Can I use product data from an ERP?

The available route depends on the ERP, edition, account and fields. Validate the connector or import path before assuming an automatic update.

### How do we avoid old versions?

Identify each edition, retire old attachments and generate a new version after material changes.

### Does PDF handle online ordering?

PDF presents a fixed edition; use the configured online journey when buyers need to build a list.
