any2pdf

Tell your AI assistant "转PDF" and get a publication-quality document. No config, no templates, no LaTeX.

An agent skill that gives AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, etc.) the ability to convert Markdown into professionally typeset PDFs — with a single natural language request.

Why This Exists

Every existing Markdown-to-PDF tool falls into one of two traps:

1. Too simple — Pandoc/wkhtmltopdf produce passable output for English, but CJK mixed text gets butchered: wrong fonts, broken line wraps, "Claude Code" split across lines, 年月日 rendered as □□□.

2. Too complex — LaTeX produces beautiful output but requires a 4GB TeX distribution, arcane syntax, and breaks on every CJK edge case. No AI assistant can reliably drive it.

any2pdf is the sweet spot: one Python file, one dependency (reportlab), zero config — and it handles every CJK/Latin edge case because we hit them all building real 200-page Chinese technical reports.

What Makes It Different

For AI Agents — Zero-Friction Workflow

The skill teaches your AI assistant an interactive workflow, not just a CLI command:

You: "把这个报告转成PDF"

Agent: asks about design style, frontispiece, watermark, back cover
Agent: runs the conversion with all your choices

One sentence from you → a complete, branded document.

For CJK Users — Battle-Tested on Real Reports

Every fix in this codebase came from a real rendering bug in a real report:

• Mixed text wrapping: "Chaofan Shou" won't split across lines; Chinese text breaks naturally at character boundaries
• Canvas CJK: Dates like "2026年4月1日" render correctly everywhere — cover, headers, footers
• Book-quality fonts: Palatino + 宋体 (macOS), Times + SimSun (Windows) — not Arial + fallback
• Merged heading recovery: Input like # Part## Chapter on one line? Auto-split before parsing

For Everyone — Cross-Platform, Zero Config

	macOS	Windows	Linux
Serif	Palatino	Times New Roman	Liberation/Noto Serif
CJK	Songti SC (宋体)	SimSun/微软雅黑	Noto CJK
Mono	Menlo	Consolas	DejaVu Mono
Setup	pip install reportlab	pip install reportlab	pip install reportlab

Fonts are auto-discovered from system paths. Missing fonts? You get a helpful error with the exact install command for your OS.
