hey PH 👻

if you wanted to make a designed and branded PDF right now,
like a guide, a report, eBook, lead magnet and so on, what would you do?

let your AI take care of it? sure!

but 27 edits means 27 prompts.

tokens and the 5-hour limit window shall be missed.

for a result that might not even be super-consistent with your brand.

like at all.

oh, you take the old-school route?

open a Google Doc, Notion, or God forbid even MS Word and write everything yourself.

i bet the smell of real, actual paper must feel nice, but then what?

i assume you open a design tool and enter layout hell?

make a new page, copy the first heading - paste, fix letter spacing - still off but moving on, copy a paragraph - paste, oh an image - make yet another folder - just name it "titled41" - download - paste, fix the layout, add colors, design a remarkable cover, table of contents, your first test export, ah, you forgot the hyperlinks! struggle to add them, export again, compress, found a typo, exporting..., compressing...

the-guide-FINAL-FINAL11 is FINALLY alive.

the client just decided to add 3 new paragraphs and change 5.

his name is Jerry.

or you outsource this pastime to your favorite designer.

then wait for 3 days. and pay for 3 days.

also, the guide might not even perform well??

or you skip design, straight export to a plain PDF, and pray your prospects take you seriously?

oor you use one of those AI eBoOk GeneRaTorS, which are often just another flavor of layout hell enhanced with old ugly templates and the same AI generation you already pay Anthropic for.

whichever type of self-torture you prefer, hear me out:

you bring the content. handwritten or AI-generated,

and Unplain automatically makes it publish-ready.
cover, TOC with working links, re-layout when things change, brand consistency, page numbers and footers, final CTA page, a single-column layout which honestly reads best, and allows you to edit stuff without being a gifted designer or burn tokens.

so,

..old-school person?

.docx file --> upload to Unplain --> make small edits --> export PDF --> done.

married to your AI chat? okay, captain.

AI chat --> connect Unplain MCP --> describe the PDF you wanna make --> it uses your brand saved in Unplain --> AI returns a consistent, branded PDF --> need edits? --> simple Unplain editor, no tokens used --> export PDF --> done.

don't get me wrong, Unplain is still in version 1.0.0.

i could add more CTA page layout options.
ePUB export.
custom fonts.
i could add anything, but i proudly choose democracy.

so succumb to my marketing prowess and give Unplain a try.

then let me know what you like, hate, or miss.

love and kisses.

pro tip:
if you run lead generation campaigns using lead magnets, Unplain is perfect for testing many lead magnets fast.
you can give the winners a design upgrade later.
