+Creation of specific file formats is extensively covered in dedicated
+sections:
+
+- `Creating archives`_
+- `Creating DOCX`_
+- `Creating images`_
+- `Creating ODT`_
+- `Creating PDF`_
+
+This section covers basic concepts of file generation within `fake.py`_.
+
+It's possible to generate either bytes or files on the file system.
+
+- When generating bytes, the returned value is ``BytesValue``.
+
+- When generating files on the file system, the returned value
+  is ``StringValue``.
+
+Both ``BytesValue`` and ``StringValue`` behave like ``bytes`` and ``str``
+respectively, but have a ``data`` (``dict``) property, which contains useful
+meta-data about the specific kind of file.
+
+For generated files, it will always have the following:
+
+- ``storage``: Storage class that was used to generate the file.
+- ``filename``: Absolute file path. It's important to know, that string
+  representation of the file contains a relative file path.

+.. container:: jsphinx-toggle-emphasis
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+        :name: test_pdf_file
+        :emphasize-lines: 3

+        from fake import FAKER
+

+        # {'storage': <fake.FileSystemStorage at 0x7f72221fd750>,
+        #  'filename': '/tmp/tmp/tmpragc8wyr.pdf',
+        #  'content': None}

+See the example below for a text PDF generation:
+
+.. container:: jsphinx-toggle-emphasis
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+        :name: test_text_pdf_file
+        :emphasize-lines: 3
