Tuhund gives unmatched flexibility and control when it comes to designing PDF documents — for example, you can create an invoice template that includes dynamic customer data, line items and a QR code linking to the digital version of the invoice or a verification API endpoint — whether for invoices, quotations, salary slips, delivery notes, or even custom records. With a fully configurable HTML and CSS-based template system, you can create highly personalised documents enriched with dynamic content, themes and powerful design tools.
Accessing and Managing Templates
You can access and manage PDF templates in several ways:
From Admin Menu:
-
Path: Tuhund >> Admin >> PDF Templates
-
Create new templates or edit existing ones
On-the-Fly From Any Record:
-
When working on a document (e.g., Invoice, Delivery Note), the system shows:
-
The Document Type
-
The Template used
-
-
Both are clickable, allowing instant access to edit or change the associated template
This flexibility ensures that templates can be updated in real time, especially during audits, corrections, or document reviews.
Dynamic Fields with Easy Insert
Templates in Tuhund support dynamic fields that pull live data from the system. Fields are inserted using a simple syntax:
#!CUSTOMERNAME!#
These fields are available through insertable dropdown lists inside the template editor, making it easy to build personalised templates for every use case.
You can also localise fields for multi-language templates. For example:
#!CUSTOMERNAME_AR!#
This will fetch the customer's name in Arabic. Similarly, you can retrieve amounts, figures and number-in-words in Arabic or any other supported language.
Note: Unused dynamic fields are automatically removed when the PDF is generated. This means that even if you include optional blocks with dynamic values, they won’t leave empty tags behind — making the use of conditional logic entirely optional.
Bi-lingual and Multi-language Templates
Tuhund supports bilingual and multilingual templates. You can design a template with English on one side and Arabic on the other, or any other language combination.
Example:
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between;">
<div style="width: 48%;">
<h3>Customer Name</h3>
<p>#!CUSTOMERNAME!#</p>
</div>
<div style="width: 48%; direction: rtl; text-align: right; font-family: 'Arial';">
<h3>اسم العميل</h3>
<p>#!CUSTOMERNAME_AR!#</p>
</div>
</div>
Language Field Examples:
-
#!CUSTOMERNAME_AR!#
-
#!NETAMOUNT_AR!#
-
#!NETAMOUNTWORDS_AR!#
Templates can also be language-bound — selected dynamically based on customer preferences or region.
Themes and Component-Level Configuration
Tuhund comes with a library of pre-designed themes that can be previewed and applied instantly. Every component within a theme is dynamic and fully customisable. This makes it possible to:
-
Apply consistent branding
-
Adjust layouts for different departments
-
Reuse design across templates
Each component in generated templates has its own distinct CSS class, allowing precise styling.

Template Authoring Reference Guide
Quick Navigation:
Dynamic Image Embedding
Use tags like:
#!LOGO-4!# → Scaled to 96px
Image Scaling Levels (when no CSS is applied):
0 → Original 1 → 32px ... up to 11 → 2048px
If CSS is specified, the system selects the next higher resolution image to avoid blurring.
Conditional Blocks (Optional)
#!IFIRN!# ... #!ENDIF!#
Completely optional — unused dynamic fields are removed automatically.
Looping Tables
Use #!ITEMSTABLE!# to auto-generate item rows with dynamic logic, sorting and formatting.
Fonts and RTL Support
Embed fonts using:
<style>@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/...');</style>
Use direction: rtl for Arabic and Hebrew.
Print Settings and Margins
<meta name="dims" value="210,297,43,5,20,5,43,20">
Structure: Width, Height, Top, Left, HeaderGap, Right, Bottom, FooterGap
