Yes. In **Jestor**, when generating a PDF with AI, you can attach a PDF or even a screenshot as a reference so the AI replicates the style, layout, and visual rules of that document.

### Why this is useful

Companies usually already have a visual standard for proposals, reports, and contracts. Recreating that standard by hand every time you generate a new document takes time and creates inconsistency across teams.

With the reference attached, the AI uses that model as a guide, instead of you having to describe every layout detail in text.

### What can be used as a reference

- An existing PDF from the company, with the style you want
- A screenshot of a document already approved internally
- A report previously generated by Jestor's own AI, to keep the same standard
- Brand guidelines, such as logo use and specific colors

### How to set it up in Jestor

1. Open the AI-powered PDF generation tool on the form or card
2. In the branding and rules field, attach the reference PDF or image
3. Optionally describe additional adjustments in text (color, tone, sections)
4. Generate the PDF — the AI uses the attachment as a style base

The same flow lets you ask the AI to regenerate a report changing just one specific piece of information, without losing the rest of the already-approved formatting.

### AI tools for SMB operations teams

This AI-powered PDF generation is part of a broader set of **AI tools for operations teams at SMBs** within Jestor, which also includes automatic document reading (**OCR**) and app creation from a text description.
