In this page, we will explain to you how to install and use this Quable App. But first, a little reminder :

What is the Quable Apps Store? And a Quable App?

The Quable Apps Store is a catalog containing content of 3 kinds:

• Cookbooks:** Guides that facilitate the connection between the PIM and different tools (ERP, DAM...).
• Quable Apps:** External applications adding functionalities that can be used from the PIM.
• Connectors:Additional functionalities developed by Quable, allowing a fluid connection with other tools (example: Textmaster)

Quable Apps are additional functionalities, developed by our teams, by our partners, or directly by our customers, which meet specific needs and which can be used on certain pages of the PIM. These applications can be "custom" i.e. created by you with the help of one of our partners, or accessible to all via the Quable App Store.
All these applications are unique and can have different billing methods.

CraftMyPDF, what for ?
