PDF Designer

Visual PDF template designer for Dolibarr

Create professional and customized PDF documents with a visual drag-and-drop editor. No coding required.

150 €

Compatible with Dolibarr 16.0+  |  PHP 7.4+  |  GPL v3 License

🆕 v1.5 — Raw HTML Editor + Formula Engine
✅ Drag & Drop Visual Editor 📄 8 Document Types 🔧 Extra Fields Supported 🌐 Automatic Multi-language 🖼️ Embedded Images

Why PDF Designer?

Dolibarr's default PDF templates (Sponge, Crabe...) are limited and difficult to customize. PDF Designer lets you create documents with your own corporate identity, using an intuitive visual editor based on GrapesJS: drag blocks, modify styles, insert variables and get perfect PDFs in seconds.

⭐ Main Features

🎨

Drag & Drop Visual Editor

Complete editor based on GrapesJS with pre-designed blocks for PDF sections: header, customer data, lines table, totals, footer and more. Drag, resize and customize each element.
📋

8 Document Types

Invoices, quotes, orders, interventions, shipments, supplier invoices, supplier orders and supplier proposals. A different template for each document type.
🏷️

Smart Variables System

+60 variables organized by categories: company, customer, document, lines, translated labels and miscellaneous. Side panel with drag or click to copy. Automatically replaced when generating the PDF.
🔧

Extra Fields (Extrafields)

Complete support for Dolibarr extra fields: document, lines and third party (customer). Loaded dynamically from database. Use {extra_field} in your template.
🌐

Multi-language Labels

Translated label variables like {label_Invoice}, {label_TotalHT} that automatically translate to the document/customer language.
🐧

Linux + wkhtmltopdf

Works exclusively on Linux servers with wkhtmltopdf installed. Full CSS support: flexbox, advanced borders, web fonts and modern designs for perfect PDFs.
🖼️

Base64 Embedded Images

Upload images directly to the editor. They are embedded in base64 within the template, ensuring they always display correctly in the PDF without depending on external paths.
📐

Complete Page Configuration

Page format (A4, Letter), orientation (portrait/landscape), customizable margins (top, bottom, left, right) in millimeters. Preview in editor according to format.
</>

🆕 Raw HTML Editor v1.5

Modal with HTML/CSS editor and automatic formatter: indents code, highlights tags. Allows adding/removing columns and rows, modifying titles and any structure with full freedom when the visual editor doesn't reach.
🧮

🆕 Formula Engine v1.5

Per-line calculations with {calc:line_qty*line_price} and aggregations {sum:...}, {avg:...}, {count}. Supports + - * / %, parentheses, decimals and numeric extrafields.

🏷️ Variable System

60+ variables organized by categories, available in the editor's side panel

Category Variable Examples Description
🏢 Company {company_name} {company_logo} {company_siret} Name, address, phone, email, web, SIRET, SIREN, capital, intra-community VAT, logo
👤 Customer {client_name} {client_address} {client_tva_intra} Name, address, zip code, city, country, phone, email, VAT, code, SIRET
📄 Document {doc_ref} {doc_date} {doc_total_ttc} Reference, date, due date, public/private notes, totals HT/VAT/TTC, currency, payment terms and methods
📊 Lines {line_desc} {line_qty} {line_total_ht} Position, description, quantity, unit price, VAT rate, total per line, discount, product ref, start/end dates
🌐 Labels {label_Invoice} {label_TotalHT} {label_Qty} Automatically translated labels in the language of the customer/document: Invoice, Quote, Order, Total, VAT, etc.
🔧 Extra Fields {extra_field} {extra_line_field} {extra_client_field} Extra fields from document, lines and customer. Dynamically loaded from the database.

⚙️ Line Loop System

Wrap your table lines with tags {lines} and {/lines} to repeat them automatically for each line in the document:

<tbody>
  {lines}
  <tr>
    <td>{line_pos}</td>
    <td>{line_desc}</td>
    <td>{line_qty}</td>
    <td>{line_total_ht}</td>
  </tr>
  {/lines}
</tbody>

⚠️ Important Note: Manually modifying table lines in the visual editor is complex. It is recommended to use the Raw HTML Editor (button </>) to add, remove or modify rows and columns.

🆕 Raw HTML Editor — Maximum Flexibility v1.5

For advanced modifications that the visual designer cannot easily handle, use the HTML editor with code coloring and automatic indentation.

✅ Automatic Indentation
The editor automatically reformats your code with proper indentation.
🎨 Syntax Coloring
HTML tags, attributes and values with distinctive colors for easy reading.
➕ Add/Remove Rows
Easily modify table structure without visual editor limitations.
🔧 Full CSS Control
Write advanced styles: flexbox, grid, animations and media queries.

💡 Tip: Combine the visual editor (for quick design) with the HTML editor (for precise adjustments). Code remains intact when switching editors.

🆕 Formula Engine v1.5

Perform calculations directly in your templates, without programming.

<!-- Quantity × Price × (1 - Discount%) -->
<td>{calc:line_qty * line_price * (1 - line_discount/100)}</td>

<!-- Margin per line: Price - Cost (extra field) -->
<td>{calc:(line_price - extra_line_cost) * line_qty}</td>

<!-- Custom VAT per line -->
<td>{calc:line_total_ht * 1.20}</td>

<!-- Aggregations (outside loop) -->
<p>Total items: {sum:line_qty} — Average: {avg:line_price}</p>
<p>Lines: {count}</p>

<!-- Calc at document level with extra field -->
<p>Margin: {calc:doc_total_ht - extra_total_cost}</p>
🔢 Line Variables:
line_qty, line_price, line_total_ht, line_total_tva, line_total_ttc, line_discount, line_tva_rate, line_pos, extra_line_*		 📄 Document Variables:
doc_total_ht, doc_total_tva, doc_total_ttc, doc_total_localtax1, doc_total_localtax2, extra_*
⚙️ Operators: + - * / % · parentheses · decimals · negatives · secure parser (no eval)

🎯 Recommendations: When to Use Each Editor

🎨 Visual Editor (Drag & Drop)

✅ Ideal for:
  • General template design
  • Quickly add pre-designed blocks
  • Adjust visual styles (colors, typography)
  • Position elements and basic layout
  • Insert variables from side panel

</> Raw HTML Editor

✅ Ideal for:
  • Add/remove rows and columns
  • Modify table headers
  • Apply advanced CSS (flexbox, grid)
  • Fix HTML format errors
  • Fine adjustments impossible in visual
  • Complex structure modifications

⚡ Pro Tip: Changes in the HTML editor are preserved when returning to the visual editor. Use both without concern: design first visually, then fine-tune in HTML if needed.
