Generating PDFs with React-PDF

When to Use

• Generating PDF documents (reports, invoices, resumes, forms, certificates)
• Creating PDFs that need complex layouts (multi-column, grids, cards)
• Building PDFs with inline SVG graphics, charts, or icons
• Producing documents with custom Google Fonts or emoji
• Any PDF task where flexbox layout is easier than absolute coordinate math

When NOT to Use

• Reading or extracting text from existing PDFs — use pdfplumber or pypdf instead
• Filling existing PDF forms — use Python pypdf or pdftk
• Converting HTML to PDF — use Playwright or WeasyPrint instead
• Simple one-off text PDFs with no layout needs — a Python script may be simpler
