       Show HN: SnazzyPDF - Convert Any JSON Data to Beautifully Formatted
       PDFs
        
       Hi HN,  I'm a freelance developer, and I built SnazzyPDF in my
       spare time to solve a problem I encountered frequently: converting
       structured data into PDF documents. The existing solutions I found
       either required manually creating a template or forced you to
       transform your data into a specific structure. I wanted a tool
       where you could simply input arbitrary JSON data and get a decent-
       looking document out. That's why I built SnazzyPDF.  * Works with
       any JSON: No need to restructure your data. SnazzyPDF handles
       (almost) any JSON data, including deeply nested arrays and objects.
       * Use REST API or drag & drop web interface.  * Zero configuration:
       Convert your JSON to a finished PDF in seconds. Start simple and
       incrementally add customization.  * Save time: Automate PDF
       generation for reports, logs, or other structured data. No more
       manual formatting or custom export workflows.  * Free tier for
       testing or light use, paid plans that scale for larger needs.  I'd
       love to hear feedback from the HN community. Check it out, and let
       me know what you think! I'm happy to answer any questions. Thanks!

       | I know a measure of a project's usefulness is "if a HN commenter
       | says they could make it in a weekend but haven't, you've got
       | something!", so maybe I'm wrong.

       | P.s. 50 pages / 1Mb per PDF is ludicrously far too small for a
       | business tier.
