Generate run of show PDFs from your data

A run of show is read one row at a time, often in a dark room by somebody who is already late. Times down one edge, the cue beside them, and the contingency written down before it is needed.

3 designs, each a separate take on the same document rather than a recolour of one layout: Minimal, type-led, Boxed form planner and Framed ceremonial.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 — 1 page of A4 portrait, the same engine either way.

How the run of show 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.

What your data drives in a run of show

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.
