Paged Templates#

A template can run in two modes: Non-paged and Paged. You switch between them using the Page mode setting at the top of the Template Designer.

What is the difference?#

Non-paged Paged
Layout Continuous, endless scroll Fixed pages with defined margins
PDF generation Browser print (Puppeteer) Backend pipeline (DOCX / PDF)
Page breaks Not supported Supported
Page Numbering Not supported Supported
Chart element Supported Not supported
DOCX / PDF export from Flow Not available Available

Non-paged is the default. The document renders as a continuous, scrollable page in the browser — content flows from top to bottom without any fixed page boundaries. When a PDF is needed, the browser itself prints the page (using Puppeteer in the background).

Paged switches to a fixed-page layout: each page has a defined size, margins, and breaks. The document is generated entirely on the backend and exported directly as a DOCX or PDF file — think inspection reports, certificates, or sign-off sheets.

Paged-only elements#

When Paged mode is active, one additional element becomes available in the Template Designer:

  • Page Numbering — displays the current page number and total page count (e.g. Page 1 / 2). You can configure the text prefix, the separator style, the font size, and the alignment.

Page Break elements are available in both Non-paged and Paged templates.

Paged-only settings#

  • Image compression — Reduce file size at the cost of image quality (None / Standard / Aggressive).

Exporting from the Flow Designer#

Once a template is in Paged mode, the Document Generation node shows extra export options: Generate DOCX and Generate PDF. At least one must be selected before the flow can be published. See Document Generation node for details.
