It is important for me that I am able to specify not only background graphics, paragaphs, tables and so on but also to specify page headers/footers. The reason is that I have a bunch of documents to be generated (including Invoice templates, Quotes - stuff like that).

High quality layouts, especially those containing (potentially complex
tables), are very difficult to generate automatically.

I do not suppose that you will find a generic solution - one applicable
to a wide range of document classes and garanteeing high quality
layout for almost all of its document instances.
