PDF Engine
Business PDFs from JSON that survive downstream workflows.
Open real labels, property reports, government forms, technical reports, invoices, lab reports, tickets, and contracts generated from one payload. The useful question is not whether a PDF exists, but whether it holds up once forms, layout discipline, tagging, or signing become part of the job.
[01] Shipping labels
FREEYoga flexbox grid positions 4 shipping labels on an A4 sheet. Font subsetting produces 15KB documents instead of 150KB — critical at millions of labels per day. No coordinate math, no absolute positioning.
{"page": { "size": "A4", "margin": 24 },"children": [{"type": "heading","value": "Shipping Labels — Batch #2026-03-31","level": 1,"fontSize": 14},{"type": "container","style": {"flexDirection": "row","flexWrap": "wrap","gap": 12},"children": [{"type": "container","style": { "width": "48%", "padding": 14 },"children": [{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "ORD-2026-48291" },{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "FROM" },{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "Meridian Labs Inc." },{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "SHIP TO" },{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "Rachel Torres" },{ "type": "paragraph", "value": "1420 NW Gilman Blvd" }]}// ... 3 more labels]}]}

Get started
Generate PDFs that do more than print cleanly.
Start with the PDF that already needs more than clean rendering, then check whether layout, forms, signing, or archival output hold up in the real workflow.
