Developing Templates

You customize the Heretto PDF Generator template
            style by using CSS. You can also use HTML to modify the cover page and XSLT to apply
            advanced structural customizations.

Heretto PDF Generator Templates Development

In Heretto CCMS, you can add annotations, for example, callouts to images. Annotations can be globally styled in PDF Generator publishing scenarios according to your branding
        needs.

Styling Annotated Images

You can use advanced XSL to perform complex transformations in PDF Generator outputs. When planning to use advanced XSLT in your PDF Generator scenarios, consider this important information.

Advanced XSL Transformations

You can overwrite the default robots.txt settings by adding new settings in the main config.json file associated with your main portal sitemap.
