Generate employee handbook PDFs from your data

A handbook is a long, structured document: numbered sections, policy callouts and an acknowledgement page. It has to stay navigable at twelve pages and readable at fifty.

3 designs, each a separate take on the same document rather than a recolour of one layout: Full-bleed hero, Two-column magazine and Minimal, type-led. Every preview below is the actual compiled output, not a mock-up.

Open one in the editor and render it from your own JSON over the API — 12 pages of A4 portrait, the same engine either way.

Employee handbook designs

How the employee handbook designs differ

Same document, same data model, 3 different arguments about how it should look on paper. Pick on layout and typography — the content behaves identically.

Design Layout Palette Typefaces Pages
Brass Chapter Full-bleed hero Navy & brass Merriweather + Inter 12 · A4 portrait
Counter Column Two-column magazine Sand & terracotta Inter only 12 · A4 portrait
Mono Index Minimal, type-led Charcoal & signal JetBrains Mono + Inter 12 · A4 portrait

What your data drives in an employee handbook

Each design is authored against an explicit reflow contract, so it is defined up front which blocks are emitted once per record and which fields absorb longer content. That is what stops the layout falling apart at a hundred rows.

Design Repeats per record Grows with your data
Brass Chapter numbered sections; lettered clauses inside a section; leave, per-diem, hotel, band, notice and classification table rows; benefit cards; checklist items; grievance steps; contents rows clause bodies; the managing partner's letter; section standfirsts; benefit card copy; acknowledgement affirmations; table cell prose
Counter Column numbered sections; kicker-led articles inside the two-column measure; rota, pay, tips, holiday, temperature and notice table rows; allergen matrix rows; opening and closing checklist items; escalation steps; contents rows article bodies in either column; the founder's letter; section standfirsts; the five house rules; table cell prose; acknowledgement affirmations
Mono Index numbered sections; monospaced key/value spec rows; band, leave, stipend, severity, rotation and notice table rows; bracket checklist items; escalation steps; contents rows; changelog lines the prose under any spec key; the founder's note; section standfirsts; the six operating principles; table cell prose; acknowledgement affirmations
