Page Settings

Page settings control the physical layout of your document across all output formats — the editor, PDF, DOCX, and fill preview. Configure these in the Page tab of the right sidebar when editing a template.

Page size

Choose from standard page sizes:

Additional sizes include A6, B4, B5, Executive, Statement, Folio, and Quarto.

Orientation

• Portrait — Taller than wide (default)
• Landscape — Wider than tall

Orientation applies to the entire document. All pages share the same orientation.

Margins

Set independent margins for each side of the page in centimeters:

• Top — Space above the content area (default: 2 cm)
• Right — Space to the right of content (default: 2 cm)
• Bottom — Space below the content area (default: 2 cm)
• Left — Space to the left of content (default: 2 cm)

Margins are consistent across the editor, PDF, and DOCX output.

Headers and footers

Add persistent header and footer content that appears on every page of your document. Enable them with the Headers & Footers toggle in the Page tab.

Editing headers and footers

Once enabled, clickable zones appear in the top and bottom margin areas of each page in the editor:

1. Hover over the top or bottom margin to reveal the "Click to add header/footer" prompt
2. Click to open the mini editor
3. Type your content — supports bold, italic, and text alignment
4. Insert a page number using the # button in the mini toolbar
5. Press Escape or click outside to close the editor

The same header and footer content appears on every page of the document.

Mini editor toolbar

The header/footer editor includes a compact toolbar:

Page numbers

Insert dynamic page numbers in your header or footer content. Two formats are available:

Set the page number format in the Page Number Format dropdown in the Page tab. Then insert a page number token in your header or footer using the # button.

How it works across pipelines

Headers, footers, and page numbers render consistently across all output formats:

Section breaks

Section breaks let you divide your document into sections with different top and bottom margins. This is useful for documents with a cover page, table of contents, or sections that need different spacing.

Inserting a section break

1. Place your cursor where you want the section to start
2. Click the scissors icon in the toolbar
3. A blue dashed line appears: ---- Section Break ----

Everything after the section break becomes a new section that starts on a new page.

Per-section margins

Click on a section break to adjust the top and bottom margins for the section that follows it. Left and right margins stay consistent with the document-wide settings to ensure content width stays uniform.

Best practices

1. Use A4 for international documents — It's the standard in most countries outside North America
2. Keep margins at 2 cm or larger — Especially if you enable headers/footers, which render in the margin area
3. Use headers for branding — Add your company name and page numbers to every page
4. Use section breaks for cover pages — A cover page often needs different margins than the body
5. Preview your PDF — Always generate a test PDF to verify page layout, headers, and page numbers look correct
