Q3. What sections in the PDF can I edit?

    • Table
      Enable/disable tax info, adjust row spacing (Standard, Compact, Relaxed), and customize column headers, widths, and visibility.

    • Total
      Enable/disable the total section, adjust spacing, configure balance labels, and add a tax summary for detailed breakdowns.
      Note: Applies to all templates except customer statement

    • Footer
      Enable payment options for invoices and edit note titles for both invoices and customer credits.

      • Note: Applies to all templates except invoice payment and customer refund

    • Supporting Table
      Enable a table that is appended as a separate page after the main document

      • Note: Applies to all PDFs that can be emailed in Jaz: Invoices, Customer Credit Note, Sales Quote, and Purchase Order

  • To apply the changes made in these sections, click Update Preview.

Q4. How do I use Supporting Table?

  • Open or create an Outgoing Template (Invoice, Customer Credit Note, Sales Quote, or Purchase Order) and enable Supporting Table.

    • Note: The supporting table always appears on a separate page after the main document. For example, if your PDF occupies two pages, supporting table will appear on the third page.

  • Enter a title for the table. This title will appear in the generated PDF.

  • Add up to 10 columns. Set the alignment and width for each — widths always total 100% and auto-adjust.

  • On the transaction where the template applies, click the Supporting Table icon. The table appears in edit mode at the bottom of the transaction.

  • Fill in the column details. Use the settings icon inside the table to disable any columns you don't need.

  • Preview the PDF before saving to confirm the layout.

Q5. Can I duplicate templates or organize them?

  • Yes, you can duplicate templates.

Q6. What are default templates, and how do they work?

  • There are two types of default templates:

    • Template default for the organization: This is the default for all contacts unless a specific contact default is set.

    • Template default for a contact: Applied when a specific PDF template is set under Contacts. It overrides the organization default when the contact is selected during transaction creation or editing.

Q7. Can I set default PDF templates during the contact import process?

  • Yes, default templates can be assigned during contact import. The contact import template includes columns for selecting a PDF template per contact.

Q8. What happens if I update an existing template?

  • Updating a template applies changes to future transactions but previous PDFs remain unaffected.
