SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually formatting markdown into professional, print-ready PDFs requires tedious tweaking of margins, page breaks, headers, and typography that most standard tools do not handle out of the box.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Publication-quality formatting: Automatically applies 1-inch margins, Helvetica typography, curly quotes, em dashes, and intelligent page breaks for professional output.
  • Flexible document layouts: Supports cover pages, clickable tables of contents, chapter breaks at H1 headings, and diagonal DRAFT watermarks for draft documents.
  • Fast iteration workflow: Preview rendered HTML in your browser before generating the final PDF to tweak content without repeated PDF generation rounds.
  • Use Case: Turn a team memo or essay written in markdown into a polished PDF with a cover page and table of contents for stakeholder sharing, or add a DRAFT watermark to a work-in-progress document for internal review.
