FAQ
Why is my Mermaid diagram missing in other PDF tools?
Many pipelines print before Mermaid JavaScript runs. PrintifyMarkdown awaits rendering first.
Are Mermaid colors preserved?

Can I use sequence diagrams?
Yes. The sample includes both a flowchart and a sequence diagram compiled into the same PDF.
