Number Formats

PDF CreateMate supports a limited set of numeric formatters. Formatting is applied via placeholder modifiers. A locale picker appears in the builder, but locale-based formatting currently applies only to currency and percent.

Available Numeric Formatters

Currency

Formats using the selected currency code (defaults to EUR) and your app locale.

• Input: 1234.5 with currency:USD (locale en) → Output: $1,234.50

Percent

Displays decimal values as percentages.

• Input: 0.25 → Output: 25%

Ordinal

Adds ordinal suffixes based on locale (fallback to English).

• Input: 3 → Output: 3rd

Phone

Attempts international phone formatting using your app locale; falls back to basic cleanup.

• Input: 5551234567 → Output: (555) 123-4567

Adding Currency Symbols

Examples

Decimal Places

You can control the number of decimal places directly in the placeholder:

• {{ amount | decimals:2 }} → fixed decimals, no thousands separator (e.g. 52726.15)
• {{ amount | number:en-GB:2 }} → fixed decimals with thousands grouping (e.g. 52,726.15)
• {{ rate | percent:2 }} → percentage with fixed decimals (e.g. 0.5677 → 56.77%)

The number after the last colon sets the decimal places (:0, :1, :2, …). Without it, the value's own precision is kept. Currency always uses standard monetary precision.

Configuring Number Formats

1. Add a formatter to the placeholder in your template, for example:
   • {{amount | currency:USD}}
   • {{discount | percent}}
   • {{rank | ordinal}}
2. Save your template and generate a test document to verify the output.

The builder shows number formatter options and a locale picker.
Available formatters include None, Currency, Ordinal (1st), Percent, Phone, and Decimals.
A locale dropdown allows selecting regional number formats (e.g., Germany, United States, United Kingdom),
which control the thousands separator and decimal symbol used in formatting.
