Good to know

  • Fields are tied to the board's columns, so a PDF template works on its board and copies of it.
  • Text does not wrap; leave room for long values.
  • PDF templates print Western European letters only. Emoji or other alphabets stop the PDF being made; use Word for those.
  • Subitems, updates and connected items cannot be placed on a PDF. Use Word for lists.
  • Place at least one field before saving.
