We withdrew the ability to add new ODT templates, which we replaced 2 months ago with a simple editor generating documents in a PDF format

According to the blog entry published at the turn of February and March, after two months from the date of introducing own HTML templates thanks to which it is possible to generate PDF documents, we are withdrawing the option of adding new ODT templates.

We are still providing the ability to download and print ODT documents, which we intend to eventually discontinue after July 1, 2018. This is the next stage of making changes.

We encourage you to customize your own ODT templates to HTML format.

What is the reason for such a change?

PDF documents are currently the standard format in which documents are sent. You can open them on any modern device. They are also universally accepted as e-mail attachments or as documents downloaded electronically, because unlike ODT or DOC documents, they guarantee identical appearance and print on each device. The second reason is a simple edit and quick preview of changes in HTML, in an environment fully controlled by developers. We also made sure that the templates had a changelog. If you make a mistake and save the template, it will allow you to quickly return to the previous, correct version of the document. The third one is the ability to automatically print a document by IAI Printer without additional clicks, e.g. after order verification, when you generate sales documents in PDF.
