Tips
When creating headers you can utilize the copy/paste functionality to help speed up your process. Right
click to copy and again paste. You can copy entire sections, groups, or individual line items.
When adding images, make sure the file sizes are very small (< 100kb). Images that are too large will
make your PDF file sizes large which can affect emailing and uploading.
Utilizing images in headers can give you a lot of flexibility. Creating an image in a 3rd party software
that will make up an entire header
could produce great results. Creating 1 group with 1 horizontal cell and adding the single image to it,
will allow you to create a full color header with logos, company info, etc.
