Using the New Graphical PDF Interface
1. Open the new PDF mapping interface
- The Loom introduces a new graphical interface for PDFs.
- This replaces the older workflow where you mainly worked from the mapping view and dragged fields from one side to another.
- The goal is to make field selection and placement faster and easier to understand.
2. Use the document preview to work directly in the PDF
- A document preview is now available.
- You can click directly into the preview and type what you want to place.
- This gives you a more visual way to interact with the document instead of relying only on the mapping list.
3. Switch to full-screen view for drag-and-drop mapping
- If you want to build mappings by dragging and dropping, open the full-screen view.
- From there, you can select a field such as Client → Show full name.
- Then drag it directly onto the correct location in the document.
- This reduces the time spent searching for the right field in the mapping interface.
4. Use advanced or visual builder options for conditional logic
- For fields like a button, you can use the advanced/visual builder.
- This lets you add conditions and other logic as needed.
- It provides a more flexible way to control when and how a field appears or behaves.
5. Fall back to standard expression tools when needed
- You can still use the standard tools that were already available.
- If preferred, you can simply write the expression manually.
- This keeps the new interface compatible with existing workflows and power-user methods.
