Improvements

Template export & import in the Editor

It is now possible to Export & Import your templates from the Editor. You can find Export and Import options from the File menu.

Create and update template via API

It is now possible to create and update template data (including access type, tags, name and components) via API. The request body must contain the same structure as the exported template from the editor or via API using the Get template endpoint.

Fetch the template GET https://us1.pdfgeneratorapi.com/api/v3/templates/{templateId} Create a new template POST https://us1.pdfgeneratorapi.com/api/v3/templates Update a template PUT https://us1.pdfgeneratorapi.com/api/v3/templates/{templateId}

|| Updating a template via API overrides the entire template definition, so the template structure must be complete.

Question 2

Release Notes 2.40.0 (01.07.2019)

Accepted Answer

Improvements

Conditionally hidden components

Until now when a component was hidden using the "Conditional formatting" option, then component was not rendered, but there was still a blank area where the component originally was. We have improved the rendering logic and all components below the hidden component are moved up to remove the blank areas left by hidden components.

Question 3

Release Notes 2.41.0 (16.07.2019)

Accepted Answer

Improvements

Conditionally hide components

Until now the "Conditional formatting" option was only available for the Text component, but finally, you can find the "Conditional formatting" option from the context menu of almost all components (except Header and Footer).

|| The Table component is a bit different as the Table is already automatically hidden if there is no data available to render the component.

Font subsetting option

It is now possible to enable the "Font subsetting" from the Template settings (File > Template settings) to reduce the generated PDF size. When the "Font subsetting" is enabled, the PDF includes only those font characters which are actually used in the document, but it will also increase the generation time and the generated PDF is not following the PDF\A-1b standard.

Bug fixes

Fixed rendering for ^{and _{tags in PDF}}
Fixed rendering for
tag in PDF
Fixed JSON parsing for cases when the BOM or CTRL character is malformed

Question 5

Text Component

Accepted Answer

The Text Component allows to display different string values, but also supports Number and Date formatting. This means that every user can easily format values in the editor and you don't need to pre-formatting them on your side.

Date Formatting

When using the T separator in a date format you need to escape it the "T" Y-m-d\THH:mm:ss

Padding

${frame}Add padding for each component

Editable PDF fields

Question 6

How to share templates with other workspaces?

Accepted Answer

To share your templates with all of your users, you need to Publish your template and set the template access type to Organization. If you just want to allow other Master Users to modify your templates you need to set the template access type to Organization and keep the templates as Draft. One the template is finalized you can Publish it to make it available for all your users.
