The Documenttool
Processing PDF documents is often a chore as you cannot edit them just like that. The documenttool takes over this job for you by scanning the PDF yourself and making a template of it so that you can edit it yourself and fill it in with other data. If you plan to use PDF formatting for multiple documents, the tool will easily generate the documents for you!
If you already have a PDF it is completely easy. You then only need to upload the PDF in the documenttool. The documenttool will then turn it into a template that you can adjust to your taste. But even if you don’t have a preview yet, you can design your own document.
The tool has an extensive environment for creating templates of your documents. You can add text, lines, rectangles, images and even QR and BAR codes to your template. You can save this template and reuse it for any project.
You can add these elements to different groups. This grouping of elements is very useful when, for example, you want to move an entire block of data to the left or right at once. when the fixed data you want to display on each page is ready, the dynamic data can be added. Here you enter the data in JSON format that must be shown on the PDF. This can be data that must be shown once, but it can also be a whole list of data.
For these lists, the documenttool has repeaters to use the dynamic data to ensure that the data in a list ends up in the right place.
Finally, you can choose to show a group after the list of data. this is very useful when, for example, you want to show the total amount of a list of prices.
