3KB is wild. What features did you intentionally leave out to get this small?
Not the author, but generating PDFs is much, much simpler than parsing PDFs
That makes sense. I was mostly curious about what explicit trade-offs the author chose beyond “generation only” — e.g. fonts, Unicode, images, compression, etc.
Would be interesting to see a concrete “not supported” list from the author.
Support for more than 7-bit ASCII characters. :)
