InBetween Datasheet Automation is a cloud-based solution for fully automated creation of product datasheets in PDF format — directly from your PIM. It enables companies to generate accurate, brand-compliant datasheets instantly, using live product data and predefined templates — without manual design or layout effort.
Manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers managing high-volume or frequently changing product data, looking to eliminate manual work across marketing, product management, sales, and external teams.
Automated generation of PDF datasheets and product sheets using live Akeneo PIM product data — triggered on demand or scheduled for continuous updates.
As a cost-efficient entry into automated product publishing, it replaces static, one-size-fits-all PDFs with a dynamic, customer-centric experience — delivering tailored, on-demand documents that are always up to date, aligned with specific information needs, and created without complexity.
Both editions include a selection of 4 brand-customizable templates and Akeneo integration. During setup, you choose the one template that best fits your datasheet structure. The difference between the editions is how and when generation is triggered.
A full side-by-side breakdown so your team can make the right choice from day one.

The Datasheet Automation integrates directly into your Akeneo PIM — no separate login, no manual data export required.
A pre-scheduled automation (e.g. every night) that regenerates all changed products automatically — plus a PDF button directly in the product grid view so you can trigger updates for multiple products simultaneously, without opening each product individually.
Datasheet Automation includes four predefined layout options. During setup, you select one layout as the basis for your automated datasheets. The selected template is then structured around the product data, information blocks, and fields you want to show, customized with your logo and brand colors, and used for consistent PDF generation. Click any layout to view a full example.
Datasheet Automation connects Akeneo PIM with InBetween's cloud-based publishing engine. The workflow is designed to keep product PDFs accurate, consistent, and easy to regenerate.
The solution fetches current product information, images, attributes, and product content from Akeneo before PDF generation starts.
The selected predefined layout structures product information into brand-compliant datasheets using customer-specific logo and colors.
The datasheet is generated as a PDF through a hosted InBetween publishing workflow without local software installation.
The finished PDF is saved back into Akeneo as a linked product asset so teams can access, share, download, or distribute it directly from the PIM.
Datasheet Automation supports teams that need reliable product documentation based on structured PIM data instead of manual desktop publishing.
Create technical data sheets with product attributes, specifications, images, benefits, and structured product information from Akeneo.
Generate product sheets and product PDFs for sales teams, partners, distributors, and customer-specific product communication.
Keep PDF documents aligned with frequently changing product data, variants, assortment updates, and market-specific information.
Ensure all datasheets follow the same corporate design, layout logic, typography, and visual structure across products and teams.
From faster time-to-market to reduced manual effort — here's what teams gain when they move to automated datasheet generation.
Answers to common questions about automated product datasheet generation, Akeneo integration, templates, cloud hosting, and the difference between Datasheet Automation and Datasheet Automation Pro.
Datasheet Automation is cloud-based software by InBetween that generates product datasheets as PDF files directly from Akeneo PIM using live product data and predefined templates.
The solution integrates into Akeneo, retrieves current product information before generation, creates a PDF datasheet, and saves the finished file back into Akeneo as a linked product asset.
Datasheet Automation supports on-demand single-product PDF generation from the Akeneo product header. Datasheet Automation Pro additionally supports scheduled bulk automation, product grid triggering, and multi-product delta updates.
Yes. Datasheet Automation Pro can regenerate datasheets automatically on a schedule, for example nightly, and can update multiple changed products in one workflow.
The solution generates product datasheets in PDF format. These PDFs can be used for sales, product documentation, partner portals, customer communication, or distribution workflows.
Yes. Both editions include four predefined layout options. During setup, customers choose one template, which is then structured around the product data and information blocks they want to show and customized with corporate design elements such as logo and brand colors.
No. Further individual template customization beyond logo and brand color adjustments is not included in Datasheet Automation. However, the selected layout is built dynamically based on the user's product data and adapts to the available product information. Further individual template customization is possible with an InBetween edition. Please contact our Sales team to learn more.
No. The workflow is designed as an out-of-the-box user experience inside Akeneo, so users can generate datasheets without coding, manual exports, or local layout software.
Yes. Datasheet Automation is hosted in the InBetween Private Cloud for a cloud-based PDF generation workflow.
Yes. Datasheet Automation can generate multilingual and market-specific datasheets based on the selected Akeneo product data and the chosen template. Market-specific datasheets for different brands are not included in Datasheet Automation; this is possible with an InBetween edition. Please contact our Sales team if this is required.
The solution is suitable for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, e-commerce teams, product marketing teams, and documentation teams that need reliable product PDFs from Akeneo PIM.
