compose-pdf

A pure-Kotlin Kotlin Multiplatform library that generates vector PDFs — identical across devices, with selectable/searchable text, small files, automatic pagination, and a Compose-style DSL. No platform text engine, no bundled font. Inline color emoji, plus a companion compose-pdf-preview artifact that renders the document live in the Android Studio @Preview pane.

Real PDFs rendered by the engine from the example builders in ExampleDocuments.kt. Every card links its source code → the exported PDF (the preview opens the PDF). All data is invented, generic placeholder content (Contoso / Northwind / Fabrikam).

Generated from the compose-pdf sample gallery. Two samples embed a logo via vector() — the field-service report uses an Android VectorDrawable, the catalogue an SVG.
