Yeah that’s what I meant. It seems much more convenient to generate PDF layouts this way than to use standard layout structure like you would with tcpdf or similar.

I know there are a bunch of caveats AKA the browser generally helps renders smarter and some features don’t translate well. But generally I prefer your approach.
