Markdown-to-Branded PDF Pro — Professional PDFs from Markdown in Seconds

Turn any Markdown file into a professionally styled, branded PDF. 4 templates, 9-node n8n workflow, Gotenberg Docker stack, Claude Code /pdf skill. Zero design skills required.

Sound Familiar?

You spend hours in Canva designing PDF reports that should take minutes. The content is ready — it's the formatting that eats your time.

Your client deliverables look different every time. No consistent branding. No template system. Each PDF is a one-off design project.

You know Markdown. You write everything in Markdown. But when a client needs a PDF, you switch to a completely different tool and workflow.

Canva Pro costs $156/year. Designrr costs $348/year. A freelance designer charges $50-200 per PDF. And you still do the formatting manually.

You can't automate PDF generation. Every report, guide, or deliverable requires manual formatting. That doesn't scale.

Your team produces documents in different styles. There's no brand consistency because there's no system.

There's a Better Way

Write in Markdown. Send it to a 9-node n8n workflow (or use the Claude Code /pdf skill). Get a professionally branded PDF in seconds. Four templates (Ebook, User Guide, Cheatsheet, Readme), full brand customization via CSS, Gotenberg Docker stack for rendering. No design skills required. No subscriptions. One-time $79.

Markdown in. Branded PDF out. In seconds, not hours.

What You Get

9-Node n8n Workflow

Production-ready workflow: Webhook receives Markdown + template + metadata → validates and merges brand defaults → parses Markdown to semantic HTML5 → post-processes callouts and tables → builds styled HTML with your brand CSS → converts to binary → Gotenberg renders to PDF → returns the file.

📄

4 Professional Templates

Ebook (chapters, TOC, gradient cover, page breaks), User Guide (numbered sections, auto-incrementing badges, callout boxes), Cheatsheet (two-column landscape, color-coded sections), and Readme (badge-style metadata, clean single-column). Each professionally designed with typography and spacing.

🐳

Gotenberg Docker Stack

Pre-configured docker-compose.yml with n8n and Gotenberg 8. Chromium rendering engine produces high-quality A4 PDFs with custom margins, print backgrounds, and Google Fonts support. One command to start: docker compose up -d.

🤖

Claude Code /pdf Skill

Generate PDFs from your terminal: /pdf document.md [template]. Auto-detects template from content (5+ H2s → Ebook, 'Step' headings → User Guide, short + tables → Cheatsheet). Reads YAML frontmatter for metadata. No n8n UI needed.

🎨

Full Brand Customization

6 color controls, Google Fonts integration (1,500+ fonts), per-template styling for covers, callouts, tables, headers/footers. 4 pre-built brand presets (Modern Tech, Warm Creative, Corporate Blue, Bold Startup). Change once, every PDF follows your brand.

📦

Callout Boxes & Advanced Formatting

Supports [!NOTE], [!WARNING], [!TIP], and [!IMPORTANT] callouts styled as colored boxes. Tables with proper structure, code blocks with syntax detection, image and link support. Long code blocks (40+ lines) get special handling.

How It Works

1

Write Markdown

Create your content in any Markdown editor. Use standard Markdown syntax — headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, links. Optional YAML frontmatter for title, subtitle, author, date, and version.

2

Run the Pipeline

Send a POST request to the n8n webhook with your Markdown, template choice, and metadata. Or use the Claude Code /pdf skill: type /pdf document.md and it handles everything — template detection, metadata extraction, and API call.

3

Get Your PDF

A professionally styled, branded PDF is returned in seconds. Your brand colors, fonts, logo placement, headers, footers, and page numbers — all consistent, every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Four templates: Ebook (long-form with chapters, table of contents, gradient cover, and page breaks at H2 headings), User Guide (numbered sections with auto-incrementing badges and callout boxes), Cheatsheet (two-column landscape layout with color-coded sections), and Readme (clean single-column with badge-style metadata row).
Webhook receives your request → validates input and merges brand defaults → parses Markdown to semantic HTML5 → post-processes callouts ([!NOTE], [!WARNING]) and tables → builds complete styled HTML with your brand CSS → converts to binary → sends to Gotenberg for Chromium PDF rendering → returns the PDF file.
Yes, for the Gotenberg PDF rendering engine and n8n. The included docker-compose.yml starts both services with one command: docker compose up -d. Docker Desktop (free for personal use) or any Docker-compatible environment works.
Yes. Six primary color and font controls, full Google Fonts integration (1,500+ fonts), per-template styling, and 4 pre-built brand presets. All customization is done through the JSON payload — change your brand once, every PDF follows.
Yes. Standard Markdown syntax, GitHub Flavored Markdown, and common extensions (tables, code blocks, blockquotes, images, links) are all supported. The parser also handles callout syntax ([!NOTE], [!WARNING], [!TIP], [!IMPORTANT]).
Yes. The Claude Code /pdf skill generates PDFs independently by calling the webhook endpoint directly. You can also call the Gotenberg API directly via curl or any HTTP client.
15-20 minutes. Install Docker, run docker compose up -d, import the workflow JSON into n8n, and you're ready to generate PDFs.
