Ideas to Improve PandaDoc: Content Editing & Design

Categories

Automatically add pages to the document if PDF page limit is exceeded / Transfer content blocks exceeding PDF page break to the next page

Automatically transfer content blocks/divide content blocks if they exceed the indicated PDF page break. as of the moment if a text block is large and the page break is indicated, you'll need to manually transfer the text to the next page in the web view. The client would like this to be done automatically, i.e. if the text is too long, it automatically appears on the next PandaDoc page

Ability to enable a limitation that won't allow creating pages longer than they'll be displayed within the PDF version of the same document.

    Proposed Feature Request: Editor Mode Toggle (Flow-Based vs. Paginated)

    Overview: Introduce an interface switch enabling users to toggle between continuous flow drafting and a dynamic, page-based layout.

    Key Impact:

    Accuracy: Delivers a Google Docs/MS Word editing experience with live, dynamic pagination.

    Pixel-Perfect Export Security: Ensures tables, signatures, and legal elements stay locked in place without shifting during PDF/print export.

    Reduced Formatting Friction: Minimizes time spent manually tweaking line breaks and margin padding to fit content onto a single page.

    Hallo PandaDoc-Team,

    ich möchte einen Feature-Wunsch bezüglich der Dokumentenbearbeitung im Editor einreichen.

    Aktuell nutzt PandaDoc einen flow-basierten Editor. Das flüssige Layout ist für flexible Inhalte gut und die gestrichelten Umbruchlinien sind hilfreich. Allerdings führt dies im Arbeitsalltag häufiger zu unsauberen Seitenumbrüchen, da der finale Umbruch im PDF nicht immer exakt der Bearbeitungsansicht entspricht.

    Lösungsvorschlag / Feature-Wunsch:
    Ein Umschaltmechanismus (Toggle) in der Editor-Oberfläche, mit dem Nutzer zwischen zwei Modi wählen können:

    Flow-basierter Modus (aktuelles Verhalten)

    Seitenbasierter Modus (Page-based / Paginated View)

    Mehrwert der seitenbasierten Ansicht:

    Echte WYSIWYG-Bearbeitung: Der Editor verhält sich wie klassische Textverarbeitungen (z. B. MS Word oder Google Docs). Seitenumbrüche entstehen automatisch und dynamisch direkt während des Tippens.

    Layout-Sicherheit: Inhalte, Tabellen und Signaturfelder lassen sich exakt auf der jeweiligen Seite platzieren, ohne dass es beim Export zu unerwarteten Verschiebungen kommt.

    Effizienz: Weniger manuelles Nachkorrigieren von Abständen und Page Breaks.

    Dieses Feature würde die Erstellung von komplexen Angeboten und Verträgen massiv erleichtern.

    Vielen Dank fürs Prüfen und Weiterleiten an das Produkt-Team!

    Viele Grüße
    Etienne Thoma

    Ability to define fixed, automatic PDF page breaks in templates so printed offers come out correctly without manually adding Page break blocks.

  • c commented  · 

    In the template editor, it would be helpful to not only indicate page breaks via the marker on the margin, but to actually insert automatic page breaks directly.
    This would make it much faster and easier to format pages properly. When relying solely on the page break marker, the final appearance of the page is always a guessing game.

    It is bananas to me this doesn't exist. or work as it should commonly be expected to. Can we get an update @Daria?

  • Cindy Hendricks commented  · 

    This is a pretty big need. It will be a big time saver!!

    The ability to not have to edit documents with page break altering the content if passed the line. Overall, having a less restrictive editor and format so that documents do not break if page break line is crossed.

    Still waiting for this basic functionality. Disappointed your Product team can't prioritize something so simple and essential for many of us.

    Shame. I was about to sign up but will have to find an alternative now.

    Do not want to split the document into multiple parts due to automatic page breaks.

    Hi, I see it's been more than 2 years since this request was made, and there have been 91 votes. Do you have any updates if and/or when this will be actioned?

  • Claire Stride commented  · 

    Not sure why this should even be up to a vote. Setting a document size to A4 (or Letter8 for US) is a basic requirement for any document, especially if it is to be converted to PDF. It is very frustrating for our clients and therefore us as your client. Not a great client experience.

    One of the most popular reasons customers get super frustrated and disappointed.

  • Sam commented  · 

    This is a basic feature, which I am surprised was not even fixed up to now. The TOC is very confusing of this and clients get frustrated if they can't go to the right page,

  • Armando Montes commented  · 

    Also, by implementing this feature, the Table of Content would properly show the right page number. Currently when having content blocks that goes beyond a page, the TOC is taking the content block as a single page, which make the whole TOC numbering wrong.

    instead of just indicating that it would begin a new page if it was downloaded as a pdf, it would start a new page automatically on pandadoc
