# Document Creation

Crew can generate professional documents in multiple formats — PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

## Supported Formats

| Format   | Best For                             |
| -------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **PDF**  | Reports, summaries, formal documents |
| **DOCX** | Editable Word documents              |
| **XLSX** | Spreadsheets and data tables         |
| **PPTX** | Presentations and slide decks        |

## Creating Documents

### PDF Reports

> "Create a PDF report summarizing the key findings from our market research."

> "Generate a professional invoice for $5,000 to Acme Corp for consulting services."

> "Create a one-page executive summary of this project proposal."

### Word Documents

> "Create a DOCX template for our weekly status report with sections for Progress, Issues, and Next Steps."

> "Generate a meeting minutes document from our discussion."

### Spreadsheets

> "Create an Excel spreadsheet with the monthly sales data I just gave you, including formulas for totals and averages."

> "Generate a budget tracking spreadsheet with columns for Category, Planned, Actual, and Variance."

### Presentations

> "Create a 10-slide presentation about our product launch plan."

> "Generate a pitch deck for investors with our company overview, market opportunity, and financial projections."

## Document Formatting

Crew creates well-formatted documents with:

* **Headers and sections**: Proper document structure
* **Tables**: Clean, readable data tables
* **Lists**: Numbered and bulleted lists
* **Styling**: Professional fonts and layout
* **Multi-language support**: Proper font selection for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Arabic, Hindi, Thai, and other scripts

## Document Translation

Crew can translate entire documents while preserving formatting:

> "Translate this PDF into Spanish."

> "Take this English DOCX and translate it to French."

### Supported Translation Formats

* PDF
* DOCX / DOC
* PPTX / PPT

### How It Works

1. Upload the document or reference one in My Files
2. Ask Crew to translate it
3. Crew processes the document asynchronously (1–10 minutes depending on size)
4. The translated document is delivered in the same format

> **Cost**: Document translation costs approximately $0.03 per page.

## Monthly Limits

| Plan  | Documents per Month |
| ----- | ------------------- |
| Free  | 10                  |
| Basic | 100                 |
| Plus  | 500                 |
| Pro   | Unlimited           |

## Practical Scenarios

### Meeting Summary to PDF

> "Take the meeting notes from our conversation, format them professionally, and create a PDF I can share with the team."

### Data to Spreadsheet

> "Here's our quarterly revenue data: \[paste data]. Create an Excel spreadsheet with a summary sheet, charts, and quarter-over-quarter comparisons."

### Multi-Format Workflow

> "Create a product brief as a DOCX, then generate a 5-slide summary presentation (PPTX), and finally a one-page PDF overview."

### Template Creation

> "Create a reusable project proposal template in DOCX format with sections for Executive Summary, Scope, Timeline, Budget, and Risks."

## Tips

* **Be specific about content**: The more detail you provide, the better the document
* **Request editable formats**: Use DOCX instead of PDF if you want to edit later
* **Combine with research**: Ask Crew to research a topic and create the document in one step
* **Use with scheduled tasks**: Set up a weekly scheduled task to compile data and generate a report automatically
