Who is Behind exportPDF

My name is Aleš Ulrych and I have been developing exportPDF since 2025. I work as the head of the graphic department and IT administrator at Inter Flag s.r.o., which specializes in manufacturing sportswear — floorball, football, handball and volleyball jerseys for dozens of clubs.

How exportPDF Was Created

The script was born out of my own need. Every day, my colleagues and I manually filled in player names, numbers, sponsor logos and nicknames on dozens of jerseys. Work that took hours and was prone to errors. I decided there had to be a better way.

I started simply — with automatic number filling in Adobe Illustrator. Gradually, I added more features: names, nicknames, two-line texts, graphic numbers, logos in numbers, diacritics for fonts without Czech localization, management of multiple sizes and products. Over months of intensive development, a simple script turned into a full-fledged automation tool.

The CorelDRAW Version

One day, the owner of a printing company called me — he immediately recognized the potential of the tool, having been a graphic designer himself. He asked if there was a version for CorelDRAW. There wasn't one. But his enthusiasm (and offer to pay for the development) convinced me to take it on. After several months of work, a fully functional CorelDRAW version was created, which his graphic designers use daily.

My Approach

I am self-taught. I always want to understand the things I work on in depth — what it does, why, and how it behaves under different settings. This allows me to find solutions where others give up. I apply the same approach to developing exportPDF — I work on every bug until it is fixed, and I take every user feedback seriously.

In addition to script development, I also specialize in color management — from monitor calibration to print profiles, network administration, and web development.
