Design PDF templates

Control page size, covers, headers, footers, colors, and typography — or start from the gallery.

Templates define how your PDFs look. Every document is rendered through one, and you can keep several — a formal template for customer-facing documents, a lean one for internal notes.

The Templates page

Start from the gallery

The fastest way to a great-looking template:

  1. In the left sidebar, open Templates.
  2. Click Browse Gallery.
  3. Pick a preset — Clean Minimal, Corporate Blue, Midnight Tech, Classic Serif, Startup Pitch, Academic Paper, and more — and click Use Template.

The preset is added to your templates, ready to use as-is or to customize.

The template gallery

Create a template from scratch

Click New Template to open the template designer. Settings are grouped in tabs:

  • General — name and description.
  • StylingPrimary Color, Secondary Color, Font Family (Arial, Georgia, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Verdana), and Custom CSS for full control.
  • PagePage Size (A4, Letter, Legal), Orientation (Portrait, Landscape), margins in millimeters, and an optional Table of Contents with configurable depth.
  • Cover Page — toggle Include Cover Page, choose a style (Modern, Classic, Minimal, or Corporate), and switch individual elements on or off: document title, author, date, and logo.
  • Header & Footer — a header with your logo and company name (positioned left, center, or right), and a footer with page numbers and optional confidential text.

Click Preview at any point to render a live sample PDF in a modal, and Create when you're happy.

Manage templates

From a template card's menu:

  • Edit — reopen the designer.
  • Duplicate — creates a copy to iterate on safely.
  • Set as Default — the default template is what's preselected in the editor and used by Generate PDF on the Documents page.
  • Delete — remove it.

Your organization's logo, colors, and fonts from Settings → Branding flow into your default template automatically — see Set up your branding.
