Overview

This node operation updates an existing PDF template using the PDF Generator API. It allows users to modify the complete configuration of a template, including its name, layout, pages, data settings, and editor options. This is useful for maintaining and refining PDF templates used for generating documents dynamically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating a template to change its layout from portrait to landscape.
  2. Modifying the pages array to add or remove components in the template.
  3. Adjusting data settings to filter or sort data used in the template.

Properties

Output
