Show HN: Fill PDFs with API, AI creates optimal layouts
Hey HN, I’m Carlos, dev & designer behind Hundred Docs.
Here’s the deal: I’ve spent way too many days fighting PDFs in production. Two things drove me crazy:
1. Most doc tools give total freedom → anyone can make a layout disaster + UX is terrible.
2. PDF libraries are a nightmare to integrate
So I hacked something that actually works:
- You describe the doc in plain English
- AI turns it into an editable template
- Non-tech folks can tweak it visually
- Devs just POST JSON to an API → get a professional PDF back
Would love to hear what you think about the product idea and your experience with PDF generation in software products.
- cgonzar3 9mo agoI’m curious about your experience with PDF generation in production. What challenges have you faced, and does this approach address them?
