Congrats! My career has also revolved around PDF generation (once for federal compliance at large companies, second for scrubbing data from PDFs for HIPAA compliance and then generating a new pdf based on the scrubbed data). I think I've seen your tool around, I ended up creating a workflow that generated LateX scripts then converted them to pdfs, and the second a python library. The most difficult aspect for our tools was formatting - the pdfs were generally 60-100 pages and tables could show up anywhere and break the page/formatting. Quite curious to see how your company will grow, good luck!
