# or as a claude code plugin
/plugin marketplace add molefrog/skills
/plugin install react-pdf@skills

Why React-PDF over Python PDF libraries?

Libraries like ReportLab, WeasyPrint, or fpdf2 work, but React-PDF has real advantages for AI-generated documents:

• Flexbox & grid layout — powered by Yoga (Facebook's layout engine). Centering, columns, wrapping grids — it just works. No absolute coordinate math.
• SVG primitives — <Svg>, <Path>, <Circle> are first-class components. Draw charts and icons inline without a separate graphics library.
• Component composition — build PDFs like React components. Reusable headers, tables, cards — all composable with props. Declarative, not imperative.
• Google Fonts support — register any TrueType font with Font.register(). The skill bundles a reference of ~65 popular Google Fonts with direct download URLs.
• Knuth-Plass line breaking — the same algorithm used by TeX. Produces professionally typeset paragraphs with proper hyphenation.
• Smart page breaks — wrap, break, minPresenceAhead control content flow across pages declaratively. Orphan/widow control built in.
• Emoji support — register Twemoji assets and use emoji directly in text. No custom rendering logic needed.
