So instead of sending a bunch of invoices to the printer directly from gnucash you "print as file" and then this file can be sent to a FULL FUNCTION editor and that is where would get modified to add artwork, logos, colors, fancy custom fonts, etc.

Back when I first began with gnucash I asked our lawyer-accountant if I should create the special report formats as used by non-profits << I could have done it, made my living designing/writing software and while never used for my job, could read most any language and shortly could have become fluent writing in a LISP dialect (what scheme is) >> He said, "Don't bother Mike. Just export the DATA (the several reports) and we'll use a full purpose editor to combine them. What any experienced accountant would do. After all, will be adding fixed text, annotations and their corresponding footnotes, etc."
