This is the source code that generates PDF files. The directory structure is as follows:
├── build
│ ├── all-data.json # Kanji data including meaning & readings
│ ├── pdf # Out directory for generated PDFs
│ └── svg # Out directory for SVG files
├── css
│ └── svg-writing.css # Inline CSS for kanji SVG
├── frequency
├── grade
├── jlpt
├── wanikani
├── template
│ └── page.html # HTML page template
| └── single.html # HTML single page template
└── main.js # Generator script
The main.js script reads source files from frequency, grade, jlpt & wanikani directories, downloads the SVG
files from KanjiVG while inserting inline CSS, and downloads the meaning and reading data. Finally, launches a headless
browser and generated single page PDF files for the corresponding data. The reason for generating one file at a time is
if we generate the full PDF in one go, not all the SVGGs rendered when converting to PDF. Also, keeping 5 pages per core
in memory at once seems to yield the best results.
