As long as we’re talking about efficiency here, one of the ways to be more efficient is to use the right tool for the job. I’ve done PDF generation on 3 different projects but the PDF generation I did yesterday was by far the easiest. What I thought would take me 2 days ended up taking about 3 hours (with research, etc).
