# PDF Creator
Create professional PDF documents from markdown with proper Chinese font support.
## Quick Start
Convert a single markdown file:
```bash
cd /Users/tiansheng/Workspace/python/claude-code-skills/pdf-creator
uv run --with weasyprint --with markdown scripts/md_to_pdf.py input.md output.pdf
```
Batch convert multiple files:
```bash
uv run --with weasyprint --with markdown scripts/batch_convert.py *.md --output-dir ./pdfs
```
macOS ARM (Homebrew) 的 `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` 会自动检测配置，无需手动设置。
## Font Configuration
The scripts use these Chinese fonts (with fallbacks):
| Font Type | Primary | Fallbacks |
|-----------|---------|-----------|
| Body text | Songti SC | SimSun, STSong, Noto Serif CJK SC |
| Headings | Heiti SC | SimHei, STHeiti, Noto Sans CJK SC |
## Output Specifications
- **Page size**: A4
- **Margins**: 2.5cm top/bottom, 2cm left/right
- **Body font**: 12pt, 1.8 line height
- **Max file size**: Designed to stay under 2MB for form submissions
## Common Use Cases
1. **Legal documents**: Trademark filings, contracts, evidence lists
2. **Reports**: Business reports, technical documentation
3. **Formal letters**: Official correspondence requiring print format
## Troubleshooting
**Problem**: Chinese characters display as boxes
**Solution**: Ensure Songti SC or other Chinese fonts are installed on the system
**Problem**: `weasyprint` import error
**Solution**: Run with `uv run --with weasyprint --with markdown` to ensure dependencies
