This feature allows you to add any shape to the canvas and use it as a clipping area for the final PDF. Previously, the canvas was limited to rectangles or squares, which made it challenging to accommodate specific design needs. With this functionality, admins can add custom shapes, ensuring that anything within the shape is printed according to the desired specifications, while everything outside the shape is automatically trimmed.
