  • LaTeX-KOMA-template

    Generic template for midsize and larger documents based on KOMA script classes.

    Mediocre: most companies I worked for had a Word template which had either technical issues or typographic/styling issues or both. I'd be surprised if your company is different. As a matter of fact, most LaTeX templates are quite fine in contrast even when they aren't as sophisticated as mine. So much for professionalism of template design. SCNR. YMMV.

  • ox-pandoc

    Another org-mode exporter via pandoc.

    If you want an easy, bare bones PDF export that is not LaTeX and doesn't require a bunch of fiddling to make it not look an LaTeX article, using ox-pandoc with the "mspdf" export (using pdfroff as the pdf generator) is decent. It doesn't support embedded images, but is otherwise pretty robust.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
