eDocBuilder offers a testing interface that allows you to see your document the same way the end user will see it. It is suggested that you always test your templates carefully before making them live in the site.
*Before testing make sure you have "Committed Changes" that you have made to the template. If you uploaded a new PDF you must commit changes as well, otherwise you will not see the new PDF that you have uploaded.
Locating the Testing Links
From the Templates page - Click the play icon next to the template image. If you choose to test from the template page by default a new window in your browser will open up and you will be brought to the template testing area immediately.
You can also test from inside the "Edit" area for the template. To do this, click on the "Test Template" link. Be sure that if you made any changes that you have located a commit changes button and committed those changes you made!
If you want to test in a new window click the drop down arrow next to Test Template and click on Test in New Window.
