Use cascading stylesUse cascading styles
With cascading styles you can define the appearance of your fields, pages and dynamic
content. Changing a font size is now done quickly and easily. No longer do you need
to change a setting for all fields.
Cascading styles means that style elements (such a font size, alignment) are
inherited in derived styles (or nodes). This means that in a derived style you only
have to specify those elements that should be different.

Advanced Expressions: VB.NETAdvanced Expressions: VB.NET
The really
cool thing about expressions is that you can include VB.NET
scripting. This means that the full power of VB.NET is at your
disposal. You can format strings any way you want, perform
complex calculations and even use conditional
statements.

Debugging merge projectsDebugging merge projects
If you merge project does not produce the results you expect you
can step through your merge project one node at a time and inspect the
(intermediate) state at every step of the merge process.
Of course you can also set breakpoints and step over nodes to get to the
part of the merge project under investigation quickly.

Preview dataPreview data
As you setup your
merge project, you can get a live preview of the data you
selected. One of PDF/Mergician's most powerful features is the
ability to apply the same powerful expressions to databases
and XML that can be used in filling form fields. These dynamic
queries can also be previewed live.
