This project aims to provide a way to declaratively generate PDF reports using JSON notation via the clj-pdf library.
An example document can be viewed here.

"tabloid"The font defaults to A4 page size if none provided and the orientation defaults to portrait, unless "landscape" is specified.
A font is defined by a map consisting of the following parameters, all parameters are optional
- "family": has following options: "courier":, "helvetica":, "times-roman":, "symbol":, "zapfdingbats": defaults to "helvetica":
- "size": is a number default is 11
- "style": has following options: "bold":, "italic":, "bold-italic":, "normal":, "strikethru":, "underline": defaults to "normal":
- "color": is a vector of [r g b] defaults to black
example font:
{"style":"bold", "size":18, "family":"helvetica", "color":[0, 234, 123]}note: Font styles are additive, for example setting style "italic": on the phrase, and then size 20 on a chunk inside the phrase, will result with the chunk having italic font of size 20. Inner elements can override style set by their parents.
Each document section is represented by a vector starting with a keyword identifying the section followed by an optional map of metadata and the contents of the section.
tag "anchor":
optional metadata:
