Make a Field Wider by Modifying Advanced PDF/HTML Templates

There is a default column span or column width on Standard Advanced PDF/HTML Template. Users can customize the standard template to make a field wider.

1. Navigate to Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
2. Click Customize on any standard template that you want to update. E.g. Standard Sales Order PDF/HTML Template
3. Provide a template name on the Name field.
4. Click the Source button to convert the view to HTML Form.
5. To change the column span for Bill To and Ship To address boxes, for example, change the default colspan from 3 to a higher number.

Before the change:
<tbody>
        <tr>
        <td class="addressheader" colspan="3"><b>${record.billaddress@label}</b></td>
        <td class="addressheader" colspan="3"><b>${record.shipaddress@label}</b></td>
        <td class="totalboxtop" colspan="5"><b>${record.total@label?upper_case}</b></td>
        </tr>

        <td class="address" colspan="3">${record.billaddress}</td>
        <td class="address" colspan="3">${record.shipaddress}</td>
        <td align="right" class="totalboxmid" colspan="5">${record.total}</td>
        </tr>
</tbody>
