My app requires sellers to send custom documents to buyers (mainly legal waivers). I need a way for them to upload the documents without losing formatting.

I have a workflow to sign documents and create PDFs but I need some ideas to maintain formatting for input data or documents before that point. Suggestions?

Save the document as a file, or convert to PDF to preserve formatting.

You could look at DocxTo PDF/Docmaker plugin.

You can create templates you send dynamic data into to create PDFs.

So for instance you could have input fields for your users to enter their own text that then feeds in to the template. I believe they also have signature fields under development?

At the moment its just plain text but I am trying to convince them to develop capacity for BBcode/Rich Text input so the user can have more control over the formatting.
