[Classic Editor] Set up design of templates

PandaDoc has design options to help you create beautiful documents. With these options, you can change the heading font, text font, theme color, background image and paper size.

To access design settings, open your template and click ...More > Design

You will have two options:

1. Customize available design parameters under Styles
2. Create your own theme or use a ready-made one under Themes.

Working with ready-made themes

Here you can pick from the catalog of themes prepared by the PandaDoc team. Click on one to apply it.

To edit a custom theme, click Edit theme and confirm.

Deleting custom themes  

You can delete any of your custom themes. Just click on the red X in the top right of the custom theme.  This will not affect existing documents which are using theme.

Setting a master theme

You can set up a theme to use on all new documents and templates. This is found in PandaDoc Settings > Settings > Default Theme.

Working with design options

Under Styles you will find two font options: for headings and for text blocks (including table blocks and pricing tables.)

Theme color will apply to Table headers, Table of contents (TOC) and hyperlinks. In some design themes (including Basic), theme color is also applied to H3 headings.

With Background image you can set a background that shows up behind your document. Recommended size is 1280(w)x1024(h) px or larger. PandaDoc also supports PNG, JPG, and GIF.

The background type dropdown allows you to change image layout.

Paper size allows you to set your document’s PDF to A4 or US letter format.

With Custom CSS you can style your document on a more advanced level: import a Google font, change margins, etc.
