We are currently experimenting with this approach. A good thing about paged.js is that we would be able to provide hot-reload and live preview of files without actually converting to PDF.

Your second point is very interesting, seems like some kind of .assert('text').isVisible() API. We may want to dig into that further!

Or maybe some visual diffing based on expected output, based on the template/layout/theme used, since you'd want to perform this check on every pdf generated in prod (that has real, sensitive data) , not just in CI or testing mode, if you're aiming for critical docs.

Cool project btw, congrats for the launch!

safer would be out of band pdf-image conversion the OCR

WHen dealing with layouts and assurance, I would go way out to verify as close to print as possible.

there's also a discussion about color to black/grayscale printing where you want a document to stay in character at grayscale.

these would be premium features I'd think.
