Salesforce CPQ creates quote documents as PDFs by default. You can add a setting to user
profiles that lets users choose between PDF or Microsoft Word .doc output on the Generate Document
page. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)
Required Editions
Available in: Salesforce CPQ Spring ’16 and later
Check your HTML template content records for embedded images. Add &contentType=xx to the end of the URL that references
these images, where xxx represents the MIME Type field
contents on the document detail page of the image.
From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Users, and then select
Users.
Select the user whose settings you want to edit.
Select Allow Output Format Change.
The Generate Document page for this user shows the Output Format field.
We recommend adding the Output Format field to the Quote Documents related list on your
opportunity and quote page layouts. This layout ensures that other users can quickly see whether
a quote document is a PDF or a .doc.
Note When a sales rep previews a quote, Salesforce CPQ
still shows the quote document in their browser’s window. The output selection only affects
generated quote documents that they save or email.
