Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm Sunin, the creator of **Live PDF Preview**. I'm super excited to share this project with you all today!
As an avid Obsidian user, I always found formatting and exporting notes to print-ready PDFs frustrating.
The endless cycle of "editing ➡️ exporting to PDF ➡️ checking for clipped images or weird layout page breaks ➡️ returning to edit" was a massive productivity killer.
That's why I built **Live PDF Preview**—to bridge the gap between markdown editing and print-formatted PDF layouts right inside Obsidian with zero friction.
Here is what makes it unique:
* 🚀 **Zero-Flicker Real-Time Preview:** Powered by an atomic twin-canvas page-flipping architecture. The preview updates instantly as you type with absolutely zero screen flashes.
* 🔍 **Smart Edit-Position Scroll Sync:** Automatically tracks your active cursor position. The preview viewport smoothly scrolls to align the active section to the top of your screen, preventing dizzying jitters.
* 📄 **Clean Pagination & `//page` Breaks:** Elements split cleanly line-by-line across virtual A4 pages instead of cutting off mid-character. Use a simple `//page` tag to force page breaks instantly.
* 🖨️ **Interactive PDF Outline Export:** Click print on the header, and it converts your note headings (`# H1` to `###### H6`) into clickable PDF bookmarks automatically for effortless document navigation.
I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and feature requests! I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer any questions.
Happy formatting! 📄✨
