Appsheet generated pdf formatting from Google Doc

So I have been trying to get this to work for some time, to no avail. So far the best advice I have been able to find is "Use Word". Essentially, when trying to generate a pdf using a template built in Google docs, its formatting comes out all broken. Here is what they look like.

Does anyone know how to fix this?โ€ƒ

Using Google Docs to generate the PDF is by far the best way - using built-in capabilities.

I don't understand the issue.   The example PDF you have shown is literally exactly what you have implemented in the example template - as far as we can tell.  What is the issue?

After looking at this again,  I think you might be referring to the placement of the image and the column widths.

1)  Image placement - I would use a document table.  Insert a table with 2 columns and just a single row.  Insert your image into the first cell.  Then insert your text into the second cell.  Make the borders white.  By using a table, you can control the placement of those "header" items.

2)  Column widths - if you do not specify a column width in your template table, the column will adjust width based on data content.    In the Google Doc editor, set a static column width for each table column.  The widths will carry over to the generated PDF.

I hope this helps!
