A small and helpful addition, how to get actual data (like cals\_param.js) for the templates from the current (Preflight) run with the current PDF - I highly recommend `<x:keeptemp>true</x:keeptemp>` from the manifest.xml in the templates. Especially during the development of a template to get current or new structures / objects instead of the static sample from the delivery.

> To adjust PDF-reports easily, HTML-based custom reports can be used. The visual appearance is controlled by a HTML-Template and Custom Style Sheets (CSS), while the reported details are directly requested from the software itself or an XML report.
