Document Template Source Engine?
Looking to see if anyone has knowledge of the engine Quickbase is using in the Document Template (Doc Gen) feature? Reason: We are hand editing the source to gain control over the layout. Each time...

Quickbase is using CKEditor as their pdf engine. I wrote up a list of lessons learned when you first asked in the reply and when I hit the reply button, the community forum deleted my response and logged me out.
In short
- use the source and ignore the editor
- split everything into divs
- for layout spacing, margins, padding use in. (inches) everywhere % doesn't work
- set the table properties first on the entire table and then for each cell
- If you have a page break in the middle of a list or table that is random. Insert a div where the break occurs and see if it clears the break. CKEditor does things with styling sometimes.
