Sample Documents
Find out what your documents can look like by viewing the below design samples. A sample PDF can
give you a clearer picture of what you can create. More PDF examples can be found in the Prince
samples repository and on the CSS For Publishing web site.

Dictionary

Dictionaries often use a multi-column layout to save space, with running headers indicating keyword
entries on that page. Notice how letters are rotated and shown on tabs on the side of right pages. The
fonts used in this sample PDF are Satyr and Faunus, made by Monokrom. Archive.org has a scanned
copy of the printed edition of this Old Icelandic dictionary from 1910.

Invoices

Prince is often used to generate PDF invoices from HTML pages. Customers rst see the
invoice on their screen, and then receive a printable PDF version for their records. Here you
will nd two examples of invoices, one colorful, the other more conservative.

Reconstructed Essay

Thomas Malthus published his essay on Principles of Population in 1798. At the time,
the descending "s" was in fashion and this reconstruction uses the prince-text-
replace property to recreate the original printed book (Archive.org has a scanned
copy). Also, the document uses ligatures and the Table of Contents is generated with
a script.

Product Catalogues

Product catalogues should be available online and in print. Typically, images and text
about the products are stored in a database and pulled into web pages for online
viewing, and into PDF les for printing. This example shows how HTML can be the
basis for both web pages and for the catalogue. Although the HTML code is slightly
different, the underlying data is the same.

make paper-based brochures from the web. Here is an example.

The magic of Prince

This document was an early demonstrator of many features we now take for granted in CSS. The

automatic counters. Also, some page-speci c features are used: page oats, footnotes, and PDF
bookmarks. And math!
