Headers and footers are consistently retained without alteration when importing documents from MS Word to PandaDoc.
To reduce the need for repetitive manual adjustments.
"Firstly, when pulling in documents from Word, customers lose the ability to retain the footer in each section."
"Similarly, whenever importing a document that contains a with certain cells merged, the content itself is not properly displayed in its original format."

Hi. We aren’t planning on building this into our feature set at this point in time since it doesn’t fit into our current product roadmap. Please keep upvoting this idea so we can keep considering it every time we work on our roadmap.
Should you come across any other ideas that suit your business needs, don’t hesitate to give them an upvote!

Improve docs imports and downloads. Ideal scenario is the docx reflects the format seen in the PandaDoc editor perfectly. Logos in headers should not shift.

There are a considerable amount of improvement to the Word import option that could enhance PandaDoc customer experience. Firstly, when pulling in documents from Word, customers lose the ability to retain the footer in each section. While setting up a new footer is relatively easy, doing it a hundred times over is tedious and a time-suck. There's also the case where certain items coming in from word just simple don't pull into PandaDoc. Such as the table of contents. There's a table of contents block, however when importing, this is removed completely. Similarly, whenever importing a document that contains a with certain cells merged, the content itself is not properly displayed in its original format. This causes an additional slow down in the progress of creating documents. The easy answer to all of this would be to create a template, however each document is different and thus creating a template for every one would be a waste of time.
In conclusion, there are changes that could be made that would enhance the satisfaction of customers, while also increasing the ROI for the time spent in generating documents/templates in PandaDoc.
