Headers, Footers
Martin Böhmer
Ability to define page headers and footers with for example logos and adress data for letters and invoices
Page numbering
Different header and footer on first page and/or even and uneven pages
More direct way to print the design via print dialog - there a chooser for standard print out or a chosen design

Great to hear your perspective, k t! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you provide more details on the specific content you'd like to include in the header and footer?
- What kind of control would you like to have over page numbering? For example, starting from a specific number, different formats, etc.
- Could you elaborate on the scenarios where you would need to use manual page breaks?

- For header the Company logo, and footer for e-signature and disclaimers - these fields shouldn't be affected by the relative fields within the document.
To make this happen, one way is to separate header, body, and footer, which may or may not be used, depending on a users use case scenario.
- Page number may be automatic with the option where to place it.
- Manual page breaks are very useful when using Relative fields and images. One scenario would be an unpredictable height of relative fields which will automatically expand depending on its content. When we cannot control page break, the image would be cut in half during automatic page break. Hence, to avoid this we can manually add a page break after the relative field and place the image next to it, just to make sure the image will always be on the next page.

This would be a great addition to this app. When can you add this? Also, please add column justification to the line items (or sub-records). This way, the numbers columns can be right justified. Right now, the numbers are by default, left justified. Need right justified for invoices.
Please add block justification as well.
