Working With Templates
The template is the model based on which the PDF copy of an invoice, dunning reminder or account statement is rendered. It defines its contents and layout. The produced PDF document is intended to be distributed via email or postal service to customers, and it can be exported and archived. JustOn provides default templates, based on which you can define your own templates.
JustOn supports two PDF rendering mechanisms, referred to as version 1 and version 2:
- Salesforce's built-in PDF rendering service generates downloadable, printable PDF files of specifically prepared Visualforce pages - in JustOn, for invoices and statements. Using Visualforce PDF rendering is the standard approach on the Salesforce platform and works for the most use cases. There may, however, apply some limitations. For details, see Visualforce PDF Rendering Considerations and Limitations in the Salesforce Help.
- JustOn 2.62 has added support for invoice and statement templates using the Liquid template language. To render the files and to produce the corresponding PDF output, JustOn uses a dedicated service based on the Chromium PDF engine. Use this approach if your business requires sophisticated PDF customizations that are difficult or impossible to implement with Visualforce PDF rendering.
