Hello, developers, I ask you to consider providing users with a graphical interface for creating templates for printed documents, LiquidJS is difficult for the average user.
Professional Edition - this is not a lifting price for a small company for Template Printing. At least PDFme.
Directus - PDFme plugin
REI3 - Own solution
Grist - Invoce & Dashboard
Thanks for the feedback! This feature is not currently supported, but I have documented the request.

Staff already noted this is not built in yet. Until a visual builder lands, a workable path for small teams is:
- Keep the print layout as HTML (the Liquid or Handlebars template already in use), with print CSS for page size, margins and page breaks.
- For a one off document, open that HTML in a browser and use the print dialog to save as PDF.
- For many documents, send the finished HTML from a workflow to a headless Chromium service you run yourself (for example Gotenberg in Docker, or Puppeteer), then attach the PDF to email.
That keeps the design in HTML rather than Liquid alone, so someone who knows HTML and CSS can edit it without a graphics builder.
