Technical Capabilities

  • â–¸ CSV Parsing and Validation: Automatically parses comma-separated values, splits rows by newline, and trims whitespace from cells. Handles both uploaded .csv files and manually pasted data with identical processing logic.
  • â–¸ Professional Table Formatting: First row styled as header with colored background (purple tint, 30% opacity). Data rows display with light gray borders. Cell padding ensures readability. Helvetica/Helvetica-Bold fonts for clean typography.
  • â–¸ Landscape Layout Optimization: Tables rendered on landscape A4 (842Ă—595 pt) for maximum horizontal space. Column widths calculated dynamically based on total column count—ensures all columns visible without horizontal scrolling.
  • â–¸ Row Limit for Readability: Displays first 20 data rows (plus header row) to prevent overcrowding. For large datasets, users can split CSV files or use multiple conversions. Prevents illegible tiny text from cramming 100+ rows.
  • â–¸ Text Truncation for Cell Overflow: Cell content limited to 15 characters to prevent text overflow beyond column boundaries. Long values truncated with clean cut—prevents overlapping text in adjacent cells.
  • â–¸ Drag-and-Drop File Upload: CSV files can be dragged directly into upload zone with visual feedback (border color change). Supports .csv and .txt file extensions. File content automatically populates text area for preview/editing.
  • â–¸ Manual Data Entry: Alternative to file upload—users can type or paste CSV data directly. Useful for small datasets, quick tests, or when source data is already in clipboard. Same parsing logic as uploaded files.
  • â–¸ Client-Side PDF Generation: pdf-lib constructs PDF table structure entirely in browser. No server-side processing or network requests. Generated PDF complies with standards for universal viewer compatibility.
