    Importante:

    Starting with the Australia release, HR Document Templates is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances, but will continue to be supported.

    Use Document Templates that provides the latest experience for this functionality. For migration guidelines, see Migrating from HR Document Templates to Document Templates.

    For deprecation details, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support knowledge base.

    PDF template mappings are derived from the table associated with the PDF document template. PDF template mapping is accessed from a PDF document template that contains fields that can be mapped. Refer to Configure an HR PDF document template.

    The PDF Template Mappings section appears when a new fillable PDF document has been uploaded from Managed Documents and the Parse PDF link is selected.
