SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually formatting markdown into professional, print-ready PDFs is tedious, and default export tools produce unpolished documents missing critical features like proper 1-inch margins, page numbers, clickable tables of contents, and publication-quality typography.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Publication-quality PDF generation: Creates polished PDFs with Helvetica typography, curly quotes, em dashes, and clean copy-paste text that never fragments into individual characters.
  • Flexible document layouts: Supports optional cover pages, clickable tables of contents, running headers, diagonal DRAFT watermarks for draft documents, and custom page sizes and margins.
  • Fast iteration workflow: Includes a preview command that renders HTML in your browser for quick edits before generating the final PDF.
  • Use case example: Turn a markdown essay, memo, or report into a print-ready PDF with a single command, no manual formatting required.
