Create Custom Documents & Images using the Document Builder
The Document Builder lets you easily create your own customized documents and images using your text, pictures, and QR codes. You can pick a template, change the wording, swap in your own images, and then save your finished design as a PDF, JPG, or PNG. Editable PDFs let you make changes later, while flattened PDFs or image files are great for sending to customers—especially for things like gift certificates, flyers, sales announcements, or event promos.
Tips:
- Before beginning, download the product images you want to include from the company website to your computer (we suggest saving them to your Pictures folder in Windows).
- Create a QR Code to keep handy in your Pictures folder and add it to a document you plan to print for a quick and easy way for your customers to contact you.
- When saving, select JPG or PNG from the "Save as type" drop-down to embed your customized document in the body of an email.
- After saving an editable copy of the PDF, save an additional non-editable version, by selecting the Flatten PDF option to send to a customer. You can send gift certificates, or flyers about hosting a party, upcoming sales, product spotlight, closing sheets, or special events.
From the main toolbar, select
Documents (or from the Business Tools menu, select Marketing > Document Builder).
After importing a document, the hand cursor
will appear when hovering over any field that can be edited, and most will also have an aqua background color (some images that can be replaced will not have an aqua background color).
- From the Document Builder toolbar, select an option from the Type drop-down, then select an option from the Category drop-down.
- Select an item from the options listed in the Documents section. In the Sample Preview section, a sample image will be displayed for the selected item (use your up and down arrow keys to preview other samples in the selected category). Select
Import from the Document Builder toolbar to customize the chosen document. - Click inside an editable field from the imported document to change or remove the text displayed (to make text smaller, press your Enter key). You can also left-click on images or image placeholders to replace them with one of your own or right-click for additional options, such as Import to select an image from the Image Gallery.
- When finished, to print, click
Print. - To save, click
Save, then enter a name in the File name field. - Select one of the PDF or image file formats from the Save as type drop-down. Options include PDF files (editable), Flatten PDF (non-editable), JPG (image file), or PNG (image file).

- To make changes to an editable PDF that you have already saved outside of Boulevard, we recommend using Adobe Reader. To make a flattened copy, choose to print the PDF, then select Microsoft Print to PDF from your list of printers. If the Microsoft Print to PDF is not listed, you can try re-enabling the feature or visit Microsoft's website for more information and additional help.
