sndsgd/little-being-pdf

A tool to create a PDF to announce the arrival of a little being. The idea for this was shamelessly ripped from my brother Francis Barnhart, who started doing this years ago.

Setup

1. Install Docker
2. Clone this repo
3. Run make build

Usage

1. Create a copy of the example directory
2. Replace the image with your own
3. Update the contents of the info.yaml file as you see fit
4. Run make pdf WHOMST=example, replacing example with your directory
5. Open the PDF created in your directory

Partial Specification for info.yaml

key	type	description
title	string	The title of the generated PDF
height	number	The page height of the generated PDF in inches*
width	number	The page width of the generated PDF in inches*
fontUrl	string	A url to include for loading a custom font
css	string	Any custom CSS styles to include before rendering
pages	Page[]	A list of pages

* wkhtmltopdf doesn't appear to be able to handle page sizes in mm without artifacts that affect full bleed images

TODO

1. Improve validation error messages for info.yaml
2. Add page type documentation
3. Improve how CSS is used
4. Have time to make these updates 😅
