Need help with creating or editing PDF templates in Katana? Here's where to find support, tips, and tools to get you started with custom templates.
Before you start: Design tips
To make the most of your time in the PDF Editor, consider the following best practices:
Sketch your layout first
Plan your template on paper or a whiteboard. It helps reduce trial and error when building in the PDF Editor.Use the “Preview” function often
This allows you to verify changes in real-time and avoid formatting surprises later.Leave space for real data
Example data shown in the editor (like item names) is often shorter than real values. Be sure your design allows for longer names or values.Design for multi-page documents
Headers and footers repeat on every page, so use them to include important info like page numbers, contact info, or company branding.
