It offers 20 components (tables, charts, headers, footers, signatures, etc.), a CLI tool, theme support, and TypeScript safety. Components are copied directly into your codebase rather than installed as a dependency, giving full ownership and customization freedom.

It seems to only generate PDF 1.3 files. You can't create PDF 3/a files. Unfortunately, this means it's not yet practical for professional use, especially when I want to send legally compliant invoices as PDFs. **@hypnoticdata777** · 3 upvotes > Thanks very useful! **@francoratovoson** · 1 upvotes > One of the very rare very usefull react lib! > > That's a great tool **@glanduin** · 0 upvotes > Thanks! **@ronaldbetancourt** · 0 upvotes > Thanks ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#react](https://daily.dev/tags/react), [#typescript](https://daily.dev/tags/typescript) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/pdf-component-library---pdfx-6rvxjkqle) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/pdf-component-library---pdfx-6rvxjkqle","headline":"PDF Component Library - PDFx","text":"Shared: PDFx — shadcn/ui for React PDFs","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/pdf-component-library---pdfx-6rvxjkqle","datePublished":"2026-03-23T06:02:32.384Z","dateModified":"2026-03-23T06:02:32.389Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Akash","url":"https://daily.dev/akii09","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--f-xsHWi3--/f_auto/v1774269381/avatars/avatar_36Zu6BnvmZBSQJNmiqav7?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","description":"Finding a way to survive in this AI era 😅","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":270}},"image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--qPvKM23u--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2009","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":202},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":17}],"sharedContent":{"@type":"WebPage","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/CHr018iSQ"},"comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"Sadly it looks like you can’t create protected PDFs with this.
