Here is how you do it:
Step 1: Prepare Your Product List
Start by organizing your products. You can use Google Docs, Word, Canva, or any layout tool you are comfortable with.
Include the following details:
- Product name
- Product description
- Price
- Product image if available
- Link to buy or view the product website Shopee Instagram etc
Step 2: Open a Blank PDF Page
Visit DeftPDF.com click All Tools and Select PDF Templates. Then choose the Empty Template.
Step 3: Use a Grid or Table Format
Divide your page into sections for each product. You can use a simple 2-column layout product image on the left, details on the right. Or stack them vertically if you have fewer products.
Step 4: Keep It Clean and On-Brand
Use your brand colors, fonts, and logo if you have them.
Step 5: Add the Essentials
For each item, include:
- Product Name
- Short Description
- Price
- Product Image (high-quality but compressed for web use)
- Buy Now or Learn More text (this is where your clickable link will go)
Step 6: Save or Export as PDF
Once your layout is ready and all products are in place, export or save the file as an Export PDF document. This will be the version you will upload to DeftPDF in the next step.
