There are of course way more efficient methods for generating templated pdfs than using a typesetter.

I'm interested to hear what you would propose.

Not sure what GP had in mind, but one can programmatically generate PDFs directly, without using something like Typst as a "middleman".

Have you tried doing that? It’s no fun at all and far from easy. I don’t quite see a benefit in doing it without some utility.

Besides, the generation of PDF reports is usually decoupled from the templates, so you will have to work on your own "middleman".

[bjourne]

Apache iText, for example.

I guess some webkit solution like wkhtmltopdf

How is that more efficient than Typst exactly?
