Step 1 - Import desired document

From the main dashboard, select the "Make Template" button and choose the "Upload File" option, you can import any docx/pdf/xhtml you wish to turn into a printing template

Step 2 - Make margin/font size adjustments

You may notice that your imported document does not look perfectly like the one you imported. This is because the document template engine is very complex, and is NOT a Microsoft Word/Google Docs replacement. Necessary steps to make your template exact are:

  • Adjust margins - in the page settings, adjust the top, bottom, left, or right margins in order to center your template

  • Adjust fonts - the imported fonts may have been shrunken down in size, adjust the font size/style if needed

**HIGHLIGHTING**

  • When highlighting text over an image, or other text imported from the template. You will need to use the Shift key along with the directional arrows in order to highlight the desired text, or to change out variables.

**LINE ADJUSTMENTS**

  • Because the editor is taking the pdf/docx file and breaking it up into edible sections, your template may not function like a normal text editor upon importing a pdf or docx file. In order to adjust line spacing and make "return/enter" adjustments, hold the SHIFT key while you hit the enter or return key. This will make the line behave like a normal enter command.
