SubscriptionUI LibraryAPIVisual editing903 impressions#25 this week

BroadPaper puts a visual report designer inside your React or Angular app. Declare your data with typed schemas and mount the designer in about 30 lines. Your users drag blocks onto a real page, bind fields, add calculations and pick a brand, or describe the report and have your own AI model draft it. You get the template back as JSON and render it to a vector PDF. - The page break on screen is the page break in the PDF. BroadPaper owns pagination, so the preview never lies. - No headless Chrome. A Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly renders PDFs in the browser or in Node, and from .NET 8/10 through the render service. - No eval. Expressions are parsed and type-checked against your schemas. - Your data stays in your app. The SDK makes no network calls of its own, and AI design goes through your server and your model. Try the full designer in your browser, no account needed. Free to evaluate with no time limit: evaluation PDFs carry a watermark, and a free 60-day key removes it while you evaluate.

BroadPaper SDK FAQ

Do I need a licence to try BroadPaper?+

No. You can npm install and use all features; PDFs will carry an evaluation mark unless you use a free 60-day key.

What does a licence change?+

It removes the evaluation watermark; no features are gated. A licence also permits production use.

Is the SDK offline-friendly?+

Yes. The licence is a signed certificate verified locally and the SDK never makes network calls on its own.

What happens if a licence expires?+

It continues working for 30 days with a warning; after that PDFs show the evaluation mark again.

Can I switch from an internal licence to a SaaS/OEM licence?+

Yes, you can upgrade at any time; the change is reflected in your account without code changes.
