Does quick pdf allows to use pre-existing PDF documents as templates for new document creation. By using templates we can avoid having to code for certain visual aspects of the final output.

A good example is using a letterhead template for letters. Because the letterhead components such as the logo, header and footer are likely to stay the same, can we create the template using popular layout tools such as Adobe In-design and use the template over and over again to fill it with letter text ?

Quick PDF Library will let you take a "template" document and then add new content to it -- be it text, images, vector graphics, etc. The changes to the template document could then be saved to a new document using the SaveToFile function.

So in that sense, yes, Quick PDF Library will you take a letterhead template, add some text to it using the draw text functions and then save it to a new file.

It's simply a matter of opening the template document using LoadFromFile, making your modifications and then saving it as a new document using SaveToFile.
