Any experience with using Typst to produce "pixel perfect" reproductions of existing documents? At work we have a series of contracts that are updated every year, with fillable blanks that we fill in with provided data. We currently use latex for them and have a contractor is very good at making them look basically exactly like the original contracts, but at some point she's going to retire, probably sooner rather than later. Probably our best solution is to decide that we don't care about nearly pixel perfect reproduction of the contract, which probably makes a switch to typst a lot easier. | ||

I've reproduced documents with Typst, mostly pixel perfect. I've done the same in LaTeX before, and it was orders of magnitudes easier with Typst. However, I didn't care if a couple of paragraphs with hundreds of words in them were a line longer or shorter. That might be an issue if you care about literal pixel perfection. But why would that be important in contracts? |
