Page
Use a Page to create a fixed (static) page. Add a Page to a Document either before or after a Report.The designer-usersguide-examples GitHub project contains numerous examples illustrating the many different components of a DLEX document. The Samples folder in your DynamicPDF cloud storage also contains numerous example projects. Refer to the Designer Examples documentation for more information.
Use pages to add an introduction or cover page to a report or as a final or conclusion page. A Page is different from a Report as a Page only displays one physical page in the output PDF, while a Report can be multiple pages, depending on the dataset size.
You can also add fixed pages between multiple reports within the same document.
Add a Page to a Document by clicking the Add Page button.

Page Template
By default a Page contains a blank background. However, specifying a templatePath to an existing PDF and templatePageNumber will result in the fixed page using the existing PDF as the background. This becomes useful in situations where you wish to overlay content on an existing PDF page.

Refer to the tutorial Create a Page Using A Template for a tutorial explaining how to create a Page with a template.
