Show HN: Fill PDFs with API, AI creates optimal layouts

Hey HN, I’m Carlos, dev & designer behind Hundred Docs.

Here’s the deal: I’ve spent way too many days fighting PDFs in production. Two things drove me crazy:

1. Most doc tools give total freedom → anyone can make a layout disaster + UX is terrible. 2. PDF libraries are a nightmare to integrate

So I hacked something that actually works: - You describe the doc in plain English - AI turns it into an editable template - Non-tech folks can tweak it visually - Devs just POST JSON to an API → get a professional PDF back

Would love to hear what you think about the product idea and your experience with PDF generation in software products.
