How do I handle tables that overflow the page width in a PDF?

The skill suggests three primary solutions: using LaTeX landscape environments, reducing font sizes within tables, or redesigning the table structure for vertical readability.

What should I do if I get Unicode font warnings during generation?

You can resolve this by switching the PDF engine to xelatex and specifying a font like DejaVu Sans that supports extended character sets, or by using scripts to convert symbols to ASCII.

Can I use the same Markdown files for both MkDocs and PDF generation?

Yes, this skill focuses on Shared Markdown Source Strategy, providing formatting rules that work consistently across both the Python-Markdown and Pandoc renderers.

Why does my list render as plain text in the PDF output?

Pandoc requires a blank line between a label or paragraph and the start of a list. This skill provides specific rules and automated scripts to identify and fix these missing blank lines.

Standardizes Markdown-to-PDF generation workflows using Pandoc to ensure professional document styling and cross-renderer compatibility.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for generating high-quality PDF documents from Markdown source files using Pandoc. It addresses critical rendering differences between Pandoc and Python-Markdown (MkDocs), ensuring that shared documentation sources look perfect in both HTML and PDF formats. By implementing specific blank-line rules for labels, anchors, and metadata, and providing a systematic visual testing workflow, it eliminates common formatting errors such as inline list rendering, literal header characters, and table overflows. It is an essential tool for developers maintaining technical manuals, compliance reports, or professional whitepapers.
