Draft a contract with appendices, privately, in your browser
A contract is rarely one document. There is the agreement itself, then the schedules, exhibits, and appendices that hang off it. SlimDoc keeps the contract and every appendix as named sections inside one file, so the whole package travels together and prints as one clean set of A4 pages. It runs entirely in your browser, so the terms, parties, and figures never leave your machine.
Why SlimDoc for contract
Contract and appendices in one file
Hold the main agreement plus each schedule or appendix as named sections in a single .html file. Add, rename, reorder, and jump between them. One file to send, one file to sign, nothing scattered across attachments.
Numbered pages that survive review
Insert Page X of Y in the footer so a contract is unmistakably complete. Run numbers continuously across the whole agreement, or restart them per section so each appendix is paginated on its own (Appendix A, page 1 of 4).
Sensitive terms stay on your machine
Deal value, party names, and confidential clauses are exactly what you do not want on someone else's server. SlimDoc never uploads your document. It works offline, with no account and no watermark on the PDF you send out.
What you can do
- Multiple documents in one file: bundle the contract plus each schedule or appendix as named sections
- Headers and footers that repeat on every page, each with its own margin, padding and background
- Page X of Y page numbers with two modes: continuous across the file, or restart per section
- {{party}} and {{date}} placeholders, with reserved-token highlighting so they never collide with page numbers
- Faithful Print / Export to PDF through the browser's native dialog, with headers, footers and page numbers resolved
- Saves one self-contained .html file that re-opens into the editor and prints the same in any browser
How to make it
Build the contract, then add appendices as sections
Write the agreement using headings, numbered clauses, and tables for fee schedules. Add a new section for each appendix or schedule, name it, and switch between them from the section list. The contract and its appendices stay in one file.
Add a footer with Page X of Y
Pin a footer to every page and insert the page number. Use continuous numbering for a single running contract, or restart per section so each appendix paginates on its own. Add a header with the agreement title or matter reference if you want it repeated.
Drop in placeholders, then print to PDF
Type {{party_a}}, {{party_b}}, and {{date}} wherever the deal-specific values go; reserved-token highlighting warns you if a token would clash with the page-number tokens. When the terms are final, use Print / Export to PDF for a print-perfect file. Save once to a self-contained .html you can reopen and reuse as a template.
Frequently asked
Can I keep a contract and its appendices in the same file?
Yes. SlimDoc lets you bundle several documents as named sections inside one file. Put the main agreement first, then add a section for each schedule, exhibit, or appendix. You can rename, reorder, and jump between them, and the whole package saves as a single .html file.
Will the contract upload anywhere or pass through a server?
No. SlimDoc runs entirely in your browser. The document is never uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline. Sensitive terms, party names, and figures stay on your machine. When you save, it writes back to a local .html file on your own disk.
How do I number the pages so the contract reads as complete?
Add a footer and insert Page X of Y. There are two numbering modes: continuous across the entire file, or restart per section. Continuous is best for one running agreement; restart-per-section is useful when each appendix should be paginated independently, for example Appendix B, page 1 of 3.
Can I reuse the contract as a fill-in template?
Yes. Type {{placeholder}} tokens such as {{party_a}}, {{effective_date}}, or {{amount}} wherever deal-specific values go, then save the file. Next time, open it and replace the tokens. Reserved-token highlighting warns you if a placeholder would collide with the built-in page-number tokens.
Is the exported PDF faithful enough to send to the other side?
Yes. Export to PDF goes through the browser's native print dialog and resolves headers, footers, page numbers, and any background images. The output is true A4 with no watermark, so it is ready to send or sign.
Does the saved file open on someone else's computer?
It saves one self-contained .html file with all styling inlined. It opens and renders correctly, and prints, in any modern browser, and it re-opens straight back into the SlimDoc editor. There is no proprietary format to worry about.
