Jake from Gravity PDF introduces a new feature in version 2.5.13 that allows users to easily add custom content to PDF documents using the HTML block. This feature includes a visibility setting that controls whether the content is visible to end users, rendered but hidden in the browser, or not included on the front end at all. Selecting the administrative option allows users to use HTML blocks as PDF blocks, adding custom content that will only be rendered in Gravity PDF. This feature can be helpful for adding messages or merge tags to PDF documents.
