Recommended reading order
There are two main ways to generate documents:

2. Asynchronous generation (advanced)
Use this approach when processing larger workloads or when immediate response is not required:
Important notes
Some endpoints are permissive in practice and may behave differently from what a strict API client would expect.
Where relevant, this documentation includes additional integration notes based on observed behavior.
