No plans to open source at the moment, but I might consider it. I just added a Subscribe button to support further development of the software and get access to premium features.

Which features (if any) that if added would you be willing to pay for?



Essentially templates, driven from a headless CMS with some ability to customise and print - instead of having to go to the headless CMS, or use some other tool to edit - in browser is nice. I've already looked at options but this is a build vs buy option.


Based on my understanding of what you're saying, here's my idea that I could build:

You would add variables in the interface, and there would be a secure sandbox in the client where you can call the API of your headless CMS, and with an sdk you could create PDF programmatically assigning the respective variables with values from your headless CMS API response. Then a button to print them. This keeps everything fully private in the browser while automating the process.

Would that work? For reference, what would you expect to pay for this if you wanted to go this route?


It's hard to give a price here, but essentially that's it - we already are doing the same with web templates with their live preview functionality.

We have planning coming up, and I still need to see how high the priority is on this period


Got it. The functionality that your after is something I'm definitely considering. It could have broad applications.

I'm curious where you land on this after planning, would it be okay to follow up? You can send me a note through the contact form on the BreezePDF homepage or let me know the best way to get in touch. Cheers
