Does the designer render PDFs in the browser? ERD-Report Designer
No. The browser script designs templates. Rendering happens on your server through the ERD Report Cloud render API.
What does the designer cost? ERD-Report Designer
The designer is for embedding in your website and is not charged for separately. Rendering uses ERD Report Cloud, which needs an API key: contact ERDesigns for a plan and a key.
Do I get the renderer? ERD-Report Designer
For trials and small-scale use, the renderer is hosted by ERDesigns and is not distributed. Your server sends templates and data to ERD-Report Cloud and receives the finished document. On-premise and private cloud deployments may be available for selected use cases. Contact ERDesigns to discuss your requirements.
Can i get a free trial for ERD-Report Cloud? ERD-Report Designer
Yes! Contact ERDesigns to request a free trial and explore what ERD-Report Cloud can do for your application.
Do I need a framework or a bundler? ERD-Report Designer
No. The designer is one classic script and one stylesheet with no dependencies. Applications with a bundler or written in TypeScript can use the package build instead.
Can I restyle the designer? ERD-Report Designer
Yes. The chrome is restyled through CSS variables, the canvas through colour tokens for light and dark mode, and the composition option hides the tools you do not want to offer.
Where are templates stored? ERD-Report Designer
In your application. The designer returns the template as JSON and imposes no storage backend.
Which browsers are supported? ERD-Report Designer
Evergreen Chromium, Firefox and Safari.
Can the designer design labels? ERD-Report Designer
Yes. A template carries a target of paper or label. A label targets ZPL, TSPL, EPL2 or DYMO with the label stock and print head density, and the same embedding mounts as a label designer.
