Thorough PDF Initiative (Prologue)
Creative Diary2026-08-31
Some time ago I added a feature that can generate a portfolio (PDF) for creators from the creator and work information registered on Zindies. The fact that it can automatically generate convenience-store print codes seems to have been well received, and I'm very grateful for that.
Riding that momentum, I thought it would be nice if various pages could be turned into PDFs and printed at convenience stores. I named it the "Thorough PDF Initiative."
As a prologue to that, I made it possible to output a list of events held at shops. NAgoya BOOK CENTER hosts many events, so the PDFs are quite a spectacle. The period-type (festival-type) events we recently added also appear, so please take a look if you'd like. Open https://zindies.co/fqpi/events?locale=ja — at the top of the page, to the right of the heart and share icons, there's a new icon that looks like "Map or Pamphlet"; you can download the PDF from there.
It's not implemented yet, but it would be nice if single-event pages could also be printed. If booth listings are included, an exhibitor list pamphlet could be produced right away. It's not a ZINE itself, but being able to create printed materials quickly seems useful, so I'll try various approaches.
