Headers

Within the headers tab it is possible to have as many headers as you like. This means that each department can have its own header, with its own content, branding, logos etc. The following shows a simple header created within the header:

Using the rich text editor one can add text however it is required but a useful tip for headers is to use the table function. In the header above we have created a three column table. We have then used the Insert menu to add an image; in this case the IEG4 logo. Then we’ve added the address in the 3rd column with the text left aligned which you can do from the rich text editor menu too.

The additional thing we have done is added a stylesheet so that:

• the table borders are transparent • the image is the size we want • the font used is Arial.

This is shown here:

I was able to access the stylesheet in line with the template by clicking on the faint gray pencil icon to the right of the ‘Stylesheet’ label.

In order that you can add styling to your header, footer, template body, you need to create the stylesheets in the stylesheet tab but as you can see you can edit these whilst in the middle of testing what your header looks like.

Header Height

It is possible (added in a later release 2.3) to alter the height of the header that displays on the PDF output. Previously this was a fixed height and irrespective of the amount of content in here, it would be cropped at the preset height.

You now have the ability to set this height yourself. First navigate to Document Templates > Headers and then click on a header to edit it.

You will see a new "Height in points" setting. Changing this up/down will increase the height of the header on the PDF:
