I find the native Advanced PDF editor pretty clunky to use. when I want to set up a design for the template. What tools do you all use to make it easier. I'm thinking of some WYSIWYG tool, or do I create a nice template in Abode Acrobat and paste the code in NetSuite?

The biggest problems you’ll have are that any code has to be compatible with BFO, and I’m not sure there are many tools out there that specifically support it. It uses some custom tag properties not normally supported in HTML, and it’s CSS support is out of date. Best case, maybe an older WYSIWYG editor or one that can target older browsers (nothing beyond CSS 2). Even then, I’d expect to have to manually tweak a bit of the generated code to get it to work. BFO does things like inserting implicit paragraphs inside of TD elements, which again will be frustrating.
