This PR implements a comprehensive PDF generation system that automatically converts the markdown resume content to professional PDFs using Typst, addressing the need for server-side PDF generation with customizable layouts.

Overview

The system extracts resume data from content/resume/_index.md and generates high-quality PDFs through a modular Typst template system. It supports multiple pre-built styles and provides an easy framework for creating custom layouts.

Key Features

  • Automatic Data Extraction: Python script parses markdown resume content into structured JSON
  • Multiple Layout Styles: Four built-in professional styles (default, modern, minimal, classic)
  • Modular Configuration: Easy-to-customize style system with color schemes, typography, and spacing
  • Server-side Generation: Complete build scripts for deployment integration
  • Production Ready: Integrates seamlessly with existing Zola build process

Usage

# Generate PDF with default style
./scripts/build_resume.sh

# Generate with specific style
./scripts/build_resume.sh modern

# Build complete site including updated PDF
./scripts/build_site.sh classic

Style Examples

  • Default: Professional blue theme with section dividers
  • Modern: Clean design with blue accents, no dividers
  • Minimal: Simple black and white with compact spacing
  • Classic: Traditional burgundy with serif typography

Files Added

  • scripts/extract_resume_data.py - Markdown to JSON parser with job/education parsing
  • scripts/build_resume.sh - PDF generation script with style selection
  • scripts/build_site.sh - Complete build process integration
  • typst/templates/resume.typ - Main Typst template with layout logic
  • typst/styles/styles.typ - Modular style configurations
  • RESUME_PDF.md - Complete documentation and customization guide

Technical Implementation

The system uses a three-stage process:

  1. Parse: Extract structured data from markdown using regex patterns
  2. Configure: Apply selected style configuration to Typst template
  3. Generate: Compile PDF using Typst with the structured data and styling

Each style is defined as a configuration object that can override fonts, colors, spacing, and layout options, making it easy to create new themes or modify existing ones.

The generated PDFs maintain professional formatting suitable for ATS systems while providing the flexibility to match different design preferences and industry requirements.
