Every 72nd person cannot read what's inside your PDF. About 1.4% percent of people use a screen reader, many of them are blind. Most PDF files are inaccessible to them: Their screen reader will read the file not in order, in the wrong language, without the contents of images, or not at all. Even if their screen reader can read the contents of the file, they cannot navigate to the next heading or section as they could on a website. If you distribute an inaccessible PDF, it will narrow your funnel in the best case and exclude people from obtaining vital services in the worst case. This is why the European Union has passed the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which requires electronic documents, like PDF to be accessible. The EAA took full effect on June 28, 2025. It applies to many businesses operating in the EU with penalties reaching up to €500,000. Yet, most tools make it hard to produce an accessible PDF. They often require special export options. Many PDF generators used in business don't support accessible PDFs at all. We are offering a way out of this bind: With Typst 0.14, every PDF document is made accessible by default, no settings required. There are more tools to ensure the best experience for screen reader users and compliance with the EAA. When you choose PDF/UA-1, an international standard focused on accessibility, Typst will run checks to detect most common accessibility problems. And with the new color blind preview in our web app, you can check that the colors you used in your graphics are distinguishable for everyone.

Bringing Order to Your Typst Workspace with Two New Features If you're like our power users (who average 12+ projects), your Typst dashboard might be getting a bit... crowded. Today, we're excited to announce two major updates to Typst Pro that directly address your top requests: 📁 Folders for Projects Our #2 most requested feature web app is finally here. You can now organize your projects into folders—drag and drop to arrange by client, topic, or deadline. No more scrolling through endless lists to find that one document. 💬 Review-Only Shares Stay in control when collaborating: You can now share your documents for feedback without worrying about accidental edits. Reviewers can comment but can't modify your markup, making it perfect for getting stakeholder input while maintaining document integrity. Both features are live now for Typst Pro subscribers. Simply refresh your browser to start organizing. For those not yet on Pro: We're offering the first 40 professionals who use code FOLDERS a complimentary first month. Experience folders, comments, and the other productivity enhancers like private packages and Git sync included on Typst Pro. These features came directly from your feedback—36 upvotes on our issue tracker told us folders would be a life-saver for busy dashboards. Thank you for helping shape Typst into a better tool for professional document creation. Learn more about the update: https://lnkd.in/enF_t3f6

🚀 Today we’re launching the new Typst website. Over the past two years, Typst has grown into the foundation for document writing for thousands of people. With that experience, we’ve built a new home to showcase what Typst can do: ✅ How Typst’s markup and automation power many kinds of documents ✅ Templates to kickstart your workflow ✅ A web app that streamlines collaboration ✅ The all-new Typst Playground — try Typst instantly, no account needed We’ve also added a dedicated page on our open source approach, where you can download the compiler and learn about our philosophy around free software. Explore the new landing page here: https://typst.app/home/

We are grateful to Posit for their continued support of Typst. Their commitment to funding one of our full-time engineers means the world to us—and to the future of open-source tooling in technical communication. Typst was built to make typesetting fast, modern, and accessible, and Posit’s backing helps us push that vision even further. This partnership means a great deal to us. Thank you to everyone who believes in our mission. Onward! 🚀

No more scavenger hunts 🕵️♂️ We just shipped three new features that’ll make your work cleaner, faster, and more collaborative: - Project-Wide Search&Replace🔎: All users can now fix misspellings and mismatches across all the files in a project with very few clicks. - Private Packages (Pro)📦: Private and reusable utility functions, design assets, and more across your personal or team projects. - Email Invites (Pro)📬: No more "Who’s this random viewer?" if your sharing link ends up somewhere unplanned– critical docs stay truly private.

We're thrilled to share how NETWAYS modernized their open-source training materials using Typst! The Challenge: NETWAYS needed to create slides, handouts, and exercise solutions for their training courses—but maintaining consistency across multiple document types was becoming a real headache. Their previous Markdown/HTML setup worked for slides but struggled with professional handouts and had limited design flexibility. The Typst Solution: They built a custom module that generates all three document types from a single source file. Using our compiler's --input flag, they can render the same content as presentation slides, detailed handouts, or exercise solutions—each with the perfect formatting for its purpose. What Made the Difference: ✅ Single source of truth prevents content divergence ✅ Professional typesetting quality across all materials ✅ Plain text format works seamlessly with Git workflows ✅ Easy integration into automated pipelines ✅ Flexible styling without vendor lock-in ✅ Team members can use any editor they prefer The result? NETWAYS now has a future-proof documentation system that scales beautifully across their entire training program. We love seeing teams solve real workflow challenges with Typst! When you can focus on creating great content instead of wrestling with formatting tools, everyone wins. Big thanks to the NETWAYS team for sharing their story and showing how thoughtful tooling can transform documentation workflows. 🙌

📢 Scheduled Maintenance! Dear Typst community, we would like to inform you about the scheduled system maintenance that will significantly improve the backend and speed up load times and collaboration. ⏲️ The downtime is planned for Sunday, May 25. It will start at 8 AM Central European Time, 2 AM Eastern Time, 11 PM Pacific Time, and 2 PM China Standard Time and last for about four hours. 🛠️ During maintenance, our web app will be affected, and you will not be able to sign in or view, edit, download, or export your projects. Typst forum may also be affected. 🗎 But not everything will be offline! The documentation, Typst Universe, and the front page of our website will stay available. Additionally, users of Typst On-Premises and the local compiler CLI will not be affected. See https://lnkd.in/dXzGAJZb for more information and to learn how to use Typst locally during the maintenance. Check out https://typst.app/socials/ for our social media platforms to get updates during this window. Thank you for standing by.

Our onsite week in Berlin draws to a close, and the Typst team is energized by the workshops and the experiences shared. It was invaluable to see team members dive deep into brainstorming sessions, exchange nuanced insights, and build on each other’s ideas at every step. And as we integrate these ideas into our routines and look ahead, our refined roadmap stands as a promise to our users—a commitment to delivering the typesetting system that evolves, innovates, and exceeds expectations. Stay tuned!
