Real Guitars PDF Generator

This is a website built using Express, EJS, and PDFKit to generate formatted PDF files for Real Guitars' repair shop and consignments. The website has forms to collect the needed data and then submits a POST request to the internal rest api that will save the customer information and generate a pdf with the customer's information filled in. It then saves the PDF and adds it to a list of "open" work orders or consignments. They can press the archive button to move it to the archive.

Before my generator, Real Guitars made repair forms by modifying a master word document and wrote up consignments using a template that has been photocopied since 1986. Now they are quickly generating modern PDFs by filling out fields on a website. It brought some of their core operations to the 21st century and improved wait times for their customers by allowing them to search for a name or ID on the website rather than searching through the file cabinet.
