Could you build this?
Partial Generating high-fidelity vector PDFs with searchable text and proper CSS/layout mapping directly in client-side JS is notoriously difficult without using headless browser screenshots.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable HTML-to-PDF library requires traversing the DOM, computing CSS layout boxes, parsing custom fonts, and translating them into PDF primitives (using pdf-lib or low-level PostScript/PDF specs) while preserving pagination and text selection. This requires deep expertise in typography, font embedding, browser layout engines, and PDF spec intricacies rather than wrapper coding.
