CSV to PDF

Most CSV-to-PDF converters print the file, commas and all, which defeats the purpose. This one builds an actual table. Parsing comes first and it follows the real CSV conventions rather than splitting on commas: quoted fields may contain commas, escaped double quotes inside a quoted field are unescaped, and newlines inside quotes belong to the cell rather than starting a row. The delimiter is sniffed, so semicolon-separated exports from European locales are handled too. With a clean grid of rows and cells, the layout pass measures the natural width of every column from its longest cell, then distributes the available page width proportionally, giving narrow columns like dates and codes only what they need so the wide text columns get the remainder. Rows are drawn with cell rules and an optional bold, tinted first-row header that repeats at the top of every page. Turn the header off to measure and draw every row as ordinary data without repetition. Independently, zebra striping shades every second body row and preserves its pattern across page breaks; disabling stripes does not remove the header fill. Cell text is real embedded text, so the finished table is searchable and copyable.
