How to Build a PDF Storyboard Generator Using JavaScript

PDF files are commonly used to share presentations, scripts, reports, lesson materials, comic pages, and other visual documents. But reviewing a long PDF page by page can take time, especially when someone needs to understand the overall sequence of scenes, slides, or visual content.

A storyboard provides a more organized way to review this information. Instead of opening every page individually, users can arrange selected PDF pages into a single sheet containing multiple panels. Each panel can include a page number, a caption, and a visual preview of the original page.

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to build a browser-based PDF Storyboard Generator using JavaScript, PDF.js, and PDF-lib.

The application takes pages from an existing PDF and arranges them into printable storyboard sheets. Users can choose different layouts, select the pages they want to include, add captions, customize the appearance, preview the result, and download the finished storyboard.
