7-phase TDD plan that walks an engineer from zero context through every
task with exact file paths, code blocks, and verification commands.
Phases: foundation (deps + fonts), text + inline styles, pages +
header/footer, tables, images, PDF-native features (metadata + outline +
links), frontend integration.

Plan complements docs/design/docs/docs-pdf-export.md.

These two packages enable vector PDF generation with embedded subset
fonts, used by the upcoming PdfExporter for Docs PDF export.

Subsetted Noto Sans KR Regular (~68 KB, 516 glyphs) downloaded via
Google Fonts CSS API. Tests inject this font into PdfFonts via DI so
they don't need network or IndexedDB.

Phase 1 milestone: a minimum exporter that embeds a Korean font via

pdf-lib + fontkit and writes one paragraph onto a single page. The

integration test re-loads the produced PDF with pdf-lib to confirm it

is a valid document with at least one page. Phase 2 will replace the

body with the full layout+paginate+paint pipeline.

Wraps the loaded font as a Uint8Array before embedFont because the

jsdom test env exposes a different ArrayBuffer realm than Node, which

causes pdf-lib's instanceof ArrayBuffer check to fail. Uint8Array's

realm matches, and pdf-lib accepts both.

PdfPainter consumes a LayoutPage from view/pagination.ts and emits
pdf-lib draw calls. Splits each run on CJK boundaries, resolves the
embedded font via resolveFontKey, and computes the alphabetic baseline
using the same formula as the canvas renderer
(lineY + (lineHeight + fontSizePx * 0.8) / 2). Image runs and the
underline/strikethrough/superscript/italic-shim/hyperlink layers are
deferred to subsequent tasks.

LayoutLine has no baseline field, so the painter derives it per-run
from the layout's lineY + line.height + the run's font size. Fonts
are subset-embedded once via PdfPainter.embedAllFonts and indexed by
PdfFontKey for the rest of the export.

Layer per-segment background rectangle (drawn first), underline (one
pixel below baseline), and strikethrough (half-ascent above baseline)
on top of the existing text draw.

Approximates ascent/descent as 0.8/0.2 of the font size to match the
canvas renderer's implicit metrics, so PDF output mirrors what users
see on screen for these inline styles.

Noto Sans/Serif KR have no italic variant, so resolveFontKey
returns the regular Korean font for italic CJK runs. To still
convey italic visually, the painter now wraps such draws in a
graphics-state push/pop that applies a ~12 degree forward skew
CTM around the run baseline, then draws at (0, 0). Background,
underline, and strikethrough remain outside the transform so
they stay upright.

Replace the hello-world body of PdfExporter.export with the full layout
+ paginate + paint pipeline. Fixture-driven tests cover a plain ASCII
paragraph and a mixed Korean/English paragraph; both round-trip through
pdf-lib and produce a single-page PDF.

Adds a jsdom-safe measurement context fallback (8 px per character)
since jsdom's HTMLCanvasElement.getContext('2d') is unimplemented and
real measureText is unavailable in unit tests.

Stubs pdf-image-painter.ts so future Phase 5 image embedding can drop
in without exporter changes.

Inline runs whose style.href is set now produce a Link annotation
covering the drawn glyph box so PDF viewers render them as clickable
hyperlinks. The annotation is built directly via pdf-lib's low-level
PDFContext API and appended to the page's Annots array (which pdf-lib
auto-creates as empty).

Headers and footers are computed once via computeLayout (independent
of body pagination) and reused per page in PdfPainter. Each region is
painted as synthetic PageLines that flow through the existing paintLine
pipeline so font-shim italic, hyperlinks, and decorations all work
uniformly.

Page-local Y is derived directly — header at marginFromEdge, footer at
pageHeight - marginFromEdge - layout.totalHeight — since pdf-lib pages
have no Theme.pageGap.

paintRun substitutes run text with the current page number when
style.pageNumber is set, mirroring the canvas renderer's
renderRunWithPageNumber.

Render bullet/number markers for list-item blocks during PDF export.
Ordered counters are computed once over the body block list (matching
the canvas pipeline) and threaded through PaintContext; unordered
markers come from UNORDERED_MARKERS cycled by listLevel. Markers are
drawn only on each block's first line, in the gutter to the left of
the body text, using sans-regular regardless of the body run's font.

Move pure-geometry helpers out of table-renderer.ts (and a copy of
computeTableRangeForPageLine out of doc-canvas.ts) into a new
view/table-geometry.ts module so the upcoming PDF table painter can
share them with the Canvas renderer.

No behavior change: table-renderer.ts re-exports the moved symbols
for existing call sites, table-layout.ts now imports
computeMergedCellLineLayouts directly from table-geometry, and
doc-canvas.ts uses the shared computeTableRangeForPageLine. All 661
docs tests still pass.

PdfPainter now detects table blocks in paintPage and delegates a
contiguous span of PageLines to a new pdf-table-painter module. The
painter walks the same row range computeTableRangeForPageLine produces
for the canvas renderer, draws each non-merged cell's backgroundColor,
then draws the four border edges (Top/Bottom/Left/Right). Cell content
(recursive paint of inner blocks) is intentionally left as a no-op
callback; Task 4.3 will fill it in.

Reuses styleColor and the existing px-to-pt conversion so chrome
lands at byte-identical coordinates with the canvas renderer's
renderTableBackgrounds + border pass.

Task 4.2 left the cell-content callback as a no-op so the PDF only
carried table chrome (backgrounds + borders). This wires the callback
through to a new PdfPainter.paintCellContent that mirrors the canvas-
side renderTableContent text path: vertical alignment, merged-cell line
redistribution for top-aligned rowSpan>1 cells, and per-block list
markers.

The callback signature now also passes LayoutTableCell, LayoutTable,
and the row/col indices so paintCellContent can reuse
computeMergedCellLineLayouts without a second layout pass — the cell
layout is already in layoutTable.cells[r][c].

with-table.json fixture cells are populated with text so the new
size-delta test can prove text was actually drawn (cell.blocks=[] vs
cell.blocks=[paragraph("Hello")]).

Adds a 3x3 fixture exercising both colSpan (horizontal merge) and
rowSpan (vertical merge), and a PdfExporter test that asserts the
document exports to a single-page PDF without erroring.

Confirms the table-geometry helpers (isCellCovered, cellOriginPx)
handle merged cells end-to-end through the PDF pipeline; no source
changes were required.

When `paginateLayout` splits a tall table row across pages, each
fragment carries `rowSplitOffset` / `rowSplitHeight`. The PDF table
painter previously ignored both, so every page redrew the entire row
(content from off-page line indices ended up duplicated on every page).

Mirror the Canvas renderer's `ctx.clip()` pass: install a clip path
sized to the fragment band and shift the table origin up by
`rowSplitOffset` so a row's table-logical Y of `rowSplitOffset` maps to
`pl.y` on the page. Backgrounds, content and borders that fall outside
the band get clipped, matching `renderTableBackgrounds` /
`renderTableContent` behaviour for split rows.

Walk the document for image inlines, fetch each unique src via the
caller-supplied imageFetcher, embed via pdf-lib (PNG/JPEG natively;
GIF/WebP/BMP via Canvas re-encode), and draw them during paintRun.
Matches the canvas renderer's bottom-aligned image placement so
text and images share the same baseline row. Throws when image
inlines exist but no fetcher is supplied so callers cannot silently
drop visual content.

Wire opts.metadata (title/author/subject/keywords) into pdf-lib
setters and stamp Producer/Creator as "Wafflebase Docs". Use
PDFDocument.create({ updateMetadata: false }) so pdf-lib does not
overwrite Producer/Creator with its own default during save().

Walk the body block list during the per-page paint loop to record the
first page on which each block appears, then build a flat /Outlines
sibling chain from the headings. Each item carries a Title (UTF-16 BE
hex string for non-ASCII safety), Parent, Dest = [pageRef /Fit], and
Prev/Next refs allocated up front via ctx.nextRef() so siblings can
reference each other before they are written. Phase 1 is intentionally
flat — nesting by headingLevel is a follow-up.

Move the image fetcher/uploader, downloadBlob, pickFile, and
safeFilename helpers out of docx-actions.ts into a new
export-utils.ts so the upcoming PDF export action can reuse them.

docx-actions.ts now keeps only the DOCX-specific import/export
wrappers and re-exports docxImageUploader/docxImageFetcher as
back-compat aliases for existing callers.

Re-export PdfExporter, PdfFonts, and related types from the docs

package main entry, then add a frontend pdf-actions module that

lazy-loads PdfExporter via dynamic import. This keeps pdf-lib and

fontkit (~200 KB gzipped) out of the initial app bundle so they only

load when the user clicks Export PDF.

The desktop toolbar's single Export button is replaced with a Radix

DropdownMenu offering Word (.docx) and PDF (.pdf) entries. The mobile

overflow menu gains a matching Export label with both formats so PDF

export is reachable on every viewport. Click handlers mirror the

existing DOCX path: shared exporting state, toast on failure, and

lazy import via exportPdfAndDownload.

All 28 tasks complete on feature/pdf-export. 26 commits cover:
deps + fonts (Phase 1), text + inline styles (Phase 2), pages +
header/footer + lists (Phase 3), tables incl. row-split (Phase 4),
images (Phase 5), metadata + outline (Phase 6), frontend integration
+ dropdown menu (Phase 7).

Lessons file captures pdf-lib quirks (jsdom realm, updateMetadata,
PDFHexString for non-ASCII titles), layout type shapes the plan
got wrong, and follow-ups (self-host Noto KR, nested cell tables,
heading-level outline nesting).

Final test count: 674 docs + 177 frontend, all passing.

The first iteration loaded all 12 PDF font keys via PdfFonts.load(), which
required injected sources for every key. With DEFAULT_URLS empty, English-
only documents threw "no source for sans-regular" before drawing a single
glyph.

Switch Latin keys (sans-* / serif-*) to pdf-lib's StandardFonts so they
embed by reference (no binary, no network). Korean keys (kr-*) only fetch
when scanFontsUsed flags Korean text. Sources now default to the Google
Fonts CSS API, which resolves a stable woff2 URL and is amortized by the
existing IDB cache. Self-hosting can replace the default later.

scanFontsUsed forces needsKR=true for unordered list-items so the U+25xx
bullet glyphs (●○■) — outside Helvetica's WinAnsi coverage — route
through the embedded Korean font. paintListMarker chooses kr-sans-regular
for unordered markers and sans-regular for ordered (ASCII).

Test thresholds dropped from 2000 to 800 because Latin StandardFonts no
longer add embedded binary; renderWithStyle passes a fully-on FontUsage so
the painter has Korean glyphs available for italic-shim and mixed-script
test paths.

Two PDF rendering bugs surfaced during local testing.

Empty Hangul glyphs: Google Fonts CSS API splits Noto KR into many
unicode-range chunks and our regex only fetched the first (Latin) one.
Pass `text=` with the document's actual non-Latin characters so the API
returns a single subsetted file containing the glyphs we need. Cache
keyed by hash of the canonical sorted-deduped subset so two documents
with the same character set share IDB cache.

Invisible table borders: the canvas renderer falls back to
DEFAULT_BORDER_STYLE (1px black solid) when a cell omits a per-edge
border definition. The PDF painter previously skipped undefined edges
entirely, so default-inserted tables appeared without grid. Mirror the
canvas fallback so borders match.

Also strip C0 control characters (\n, \r, \t, etc.) from text segments
before drawText. WinAnsi has no encoding for them; they're paste-time
artifacts that have no visual representation at draw time.

The Google Fonts CSS2 API serves WOFF2 to modern user-agents, and
@pdf-lib/fontkit doesn't include a Brotli decoder — loading WOFF2 as
raw bytes rendered Hangul as garbled shapes (visible as "weird symbols"
even though the layout positioned them correctly).

Switch to direct OTF URLs from notofonts/noto-cjk via jsdelivr's GitHub
mirror. Each subset OTF (~5-7 MB) downloads once per variant, gets
cached in IDB, and pdf-lib's fontkit subsets it further at embed time
so the final PDF only carries the glyphs the document actually uses.

This also lets us drop the text-subset complexity that was added in
the previous commit — the OTF source contains the full Korean
character set, so per-document subset parameters aren't needed.

@pdf-lib/fontkit's CFF subset encoder throws "value argument is out
of bounds" on larger CJK fonts (CFFSubset.encode -> NumberT.encode).
Noto Sans/Serif KR ship as CFF-flavored OTF, so subsetting them with
the existing pdf-lib pipeline produced the fontkit RangeError.

Switch the Korean embeds to subset: false. PDFs grow by the full font
size (~5-7 MB per variant when the document uses Korean), but the
output renders reliably. A follow-up could swap in TrueType-outline
Korean fonts (variable wght axis), which fontkit subsets without the
CFF-specific encoder path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>

The previous commit disabled subsetting (`subset: false`) for Korean
embeds because @pdf-lib/fontkit's CFF subset encoder threw
"value argument is out of bounds" on larger CFF/OTF fonts. The
unsubsetted embeds added ~5-7 MB per Korean variant to every export.

google/fonts ships Noto Sans/Serif KR as TrueType-outline variable
fonts via raw.githubusercontent.com; fontkit subsets TrueType outlines
cleanly. Switch DEFAULT_URLS to those TTFs and re-enable subset: true.
PDFs containing Korean now embed only the glyphs the document uses.

Caveat: variable fonts carry a `wght` axis (100-900). fontkit
instantiates at the axis default (400), so kr-sans-bold currently
renders identical to kr-sans-regular — the bold key just points at
the same TTF until we instantiate at wght=700 explicitly.

This reverts commit 04bcd71.

Records the four font-source configurations tried during local testing
and why only one (Noto Sans/Serif KR OTF with subset: false) produces
correct glyphs reliably. Variable-axis TTFs subsetted by fontkit dropped
characters mid-string (saw "오픈소스" rendered as just "소"), so the
revert to OTF + subset: false is the current accepted state.

Trade-off, future paths, and updated follow-up list captured so the next
person looking at the size of a Korean PDF knows what's been ruled out.

The PDF export feature pulls in pdf-lib + fontkit via dynamic import.
Vite/Rollup groups dynamic imports into a `pending-imports-*` chunk
that lands at ~1280 kB, well above the global 710 kB chunk-size budget
the harness gate enforces.

Bumping the global limit would let the rest of the bundle bloat
unchecked. Add an `overrides` array to harness.config.json instead, so
this one chunk can be ~1500 kB while every other chunk stays at 710 kB.
The verify-frontend-chunks script now matches each chunk against the
overrides regex list and falls back to the global limit when nothing
matches; reasoning for the override is captured inline in the config.

- pdf-fonts: pin Noto KR URLs to release tags (Sans2.004 / Serif2.003)
  instead of @main. Upstream main is a moving target — first-time
  exports could change behavior or break without any local code change.
  IDB cache only protects returning users.
- pdf-image-painter: when fetched image Blob lacks Content-Type, sniff
  PNG (89 50 4E 47) and JPEG (FF D8 FF) magic bytes before falling back
  to the Canvas conversion path. Servers that omit the header used to
  send real PNG/JPEG payloads through embedAsPng, which only works in
  the browser.
- archived todo links: spec/lessons references no longer use relative
  paths that broke after the move under archive/2026/04/. Match the
  rest of the archive's convention by using repo-root paths.
- lessons checklist: tick items locally verified during Korean document
  testing (Preview rendering, CJK punctuation, list markers, table
  borders) so the section reflects what was actually checked.
- verify-frontend-chunks: rephrase the over-budget header to reflect
  per-chunk limits, since the chunk-loop already prints each effective
  limit.

Internal code review (superpowers:code-reviewer) flagged six items
worth fixing before merge alongside two real-world bug risks; this
commit addresses all of them.

- pdf-painter: filter PDF link annotations through `isSafeUrl` (the
  same gate the editor uses on user input). Without it, an imported
  document or paste-time mishap could smuggle a `javascript:` /
  `data:` URI into a downloaded PDF and rely on the reader's protocol
  filter, which historically has had bypasses.
- pdf-exporter: log a console.warn when getMeasurementCtx falls
  through from a real browser context to the 8-px-per-char mock. A
  font-loading race or browser bug would otherwise silently produce a
  PDF with mock metrics — wrong line breaks across the document — and
  ship without any signal to the developer.
- pdf-fonts / pdf-painter: cross-reference the implicit contract that
  unordered list-items force kr-sans-regular to embed (set in
  scanFontsUsed.visitBlock, consumed in paintListMarker). The
  invariant lives in two files; the comments now point at each other
  so future changes stay in sync.
- pdf-style-map: spell out that U+FFFC is intentionally NOT in the
  control-strip range. Image inlines carry it as placeholder text
  and any future "let me strip more control chars while I'm here"
  refactor would break image-adjacent width measurements. Added
  positive (LF/CR/TAB stripped) and negative (FFFC preserved) tests
  to lock the behavior.
- pdf-image-painter: document the URL-string dedup limitation
  (same image at two URLs gets fetched twice) and drop empty-string
  src early so a malformed inline surfaces as "skipped" rather than
  the fetcher's "Failed to fetch". Error message for missing fetcher
  now names the offending src.
- lessons: note that outline destinations are page-granular ([/Fit])
  rather than Y-precise. Multiple headings on the same page jump to
  the same Y. Y-precise destinations via [/XYZ left top zoom] is
  Phase 2 work.
