pressrun

This is the hello-world bootstrap, not a product.

It exists to show the smallest practical @vmprint/engine integration. If you want to understand how to wire the engine into your own project, read src/index.ts. It is one annotated file with no extra framework or packaging ceremony.

Usage

pressrun <document.json> [output.pdf]

Reads a VMPrint JSON document and writes a PDF. If no output path is given, the PDF is written next to the input file.

What it uses

Role	Package
Layout engine	@vmprint/engine
Font manager	@vmprint/local-fonts
PDF output	@vmprint/context-pdf

@vmprint/local-fonts ships a bundled multilingual font collection and can also load fonts from HTTP/HTTPS URLs and data URIs. For browser-first font loading with IndexedDB caching and progress tracking, use @vmprint/web-fonts. For zero-embedded standard PDF fonts, use @vmprint/standard-fonts.

@vmprint/context-pdf is backed by PDFKit and streams output to a Node.js writable stream. For a browser-compatible alternative, @vmprint/context-pdf-lite implements the same contract.

The integration pattern

document JSON
    -> loadDocument()   parse and validate
    -> VMPrintEngine    wire document + font manager
    -> engine.render()  layout and render in one call
    -> PDF

The font manager and context are the two plug points. Everything else is the engine doing the heavy lifting.
