Create a document from an Indonesian template
- On the Start screen, click Indonesian templates under quick actions.
- The new document panel opens with the Surat resmi template selected. Choose another template in Start from if needed.
- Choose a Page size: A4, F4 (215 × 330 mm), Folio (210 × 330 mm), Letter, Legal, or A3.
- Indonesian templates are always Portrait. The Landscape option is disabled for them.
- Set the Date and choose a Date format:

- Click Create Document.
The new document opens in its own tab. The amount uses Rupiah formatting, for example Rp 93.250.000,00. The long date format is written in Indonesian, for example 12 Oktober 2026.
Fill in the template
- Open the Form tab and click Fill Form.
- Click a field on the page and type the value.
- Click the next field and repeat. Large fields, such as the items field, accept several lines.
- Save with Save (
Ctrl+S) or Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S). For a new document, the Windows Save As dialog opens.
The fields stay editable after you save. Open the PDF again and use Form › Fill Form. A small note at the bottom of each template reminds you of this.
To stamp an automatic document number, such as 001/SPH/FT/X/2026, use Document Number. See Page marks.
Company templates (letterhead)
Requires Pro edition or higher
A company template stores a letterhead, footer text and a signature block. You can add it to an existing PDF or use it for a new letter.
- Click File › Create PDF › From Template.
- The Company Templates panel opens on the right. Under CREATE OR UPDATE A TEMPLATE, fill in Template name, Company name, Address, Contact line, and Footer text.
- Fill in Signature block (one line each). Each line becomes one line of the signature block.
- Click Choose logo… to add a PNG or JPG logo.
- Click Save Template. The template is saved on this computer.
Saved templates appear under COMPANY TEMPLATES with three buttons:
- Apply: choose a PDF in the Windows Open dialog and add the letterhead. The result opens in a new tab; the original file is not overwritten.
- New letter: creates a blank A4 letter with the letterhead and opens it in a new tab.
- ✕: deletes the template.
Select Apply the letterhead to the first page only to place the letterhead on page 1 only. Clear it to apply the letterhead to every page.
After the new letter opens, add your text with Edit › Typewriter. See Edit text and objects.
