To edit the packing list, or any other PDF docs such as invoice you need to override the files contained within
Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf
For example if wanted to add the price to the packing list
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<preference for="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Items\Shipment\DefaultShipment"
type="Example\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Items\Shipment\DefaultShipment"/>
</config>
Then copy the file "Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Items\Shipment\DefaultShipment" to your app/code file, change the name spacing to match the XML above and add the following on around line number 81
// draw item Prices
$i = 0;
$prices = $this->getItemPricesForDisplay();
$feedPrice = 395;
$feedSubtotal = $feedPrice + 70;
$feedTax = $feedSubtotal + 70;
foreach ($prices as $priceData) {
if (isset($priceData['label'])) {
// draw Price label
$lines[$i][] = ['text' => $priceData['label'], 'feed' => $feedPrice, 'align' => 'right'];
// draw Subtotal label
$lines[$i][] = ['text' => $priceData['label'], 'feed' => $feedSubtotal, 'align' => 'right'];
$i++;
}
// draw Price
$lines[$i][] = [
'text' => $priceData['price'],
'feed' => $feedPrice,
'font' => 'bold',
'align' => 'right',
];
// draw Subtotal
$lines[$i][] = [
'text' => $priceData['subtotal'],
'feed' => $feedSubtotal,
'font' => 'bold',
'align' => 'right',
];
$i++;
}
// draw Tax
$lines[0][] = [
'text' => $order->formatPriceTxt($item->getTaxAmount()),
'feed' => $feedTax,
'font' => 'bold',
'align' => 'right',
];
It is possible yo change the layout of pdfslip by using Model file.
edit, create a di.xml file under MY\MODULE\etc\adminhtml\
and edit it as followed
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<preference for="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice" type="MY\MODULE\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice" />
</config>
After that create a Invoice.php file under MY\MODULE\Model\Order\Pdf
and change it like this
<?php
namespace MY\MODULE\Model\Order\Pdf;
class Invoice extends \Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice
{
protected function _doDrawHeader(\Zend_Pdf_Page $page)
{
/* Add table head */
$this->_setFontRegular($page, 10);
$page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0.93, 0.92, 0.92));
$page->setLineColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
$page->setLineWidth(0.5);
$page->drawRectangle(25, $this->y + 5, 570, $this->y - 25);
$this->y -= 10;
$page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));
//columns headers
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Products'), 'feed' => 35];
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('SKU'), 'feed' => 290, 'align' => 'right'];
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Qty'), 'feed' => 435, 'align' => 'right'];
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Price'), 'feed' => 360, 'align' => 'right'];
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Tax'), 'feed' => 495, 'align' => 'right'];
$lines[0][] = ['text' => __('Subtotal'), 'feed' => 565, 'align' => 'right'];
$lineBlock = ['lines' => $lines, 'height' => 5];
$this->drawLineBlocks($page, [$lineBlock], ['table_header' => true]);
$page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0));
$this->y -= 20;
}
public function getPdf($invoices = [])
{
$this->_beforeGetPdf();
$this->_initRenderer('invoice');
$pdf = new \Zend_Pdf();
$this->_setPdf($pdf);
$style = new \Zend_Pdf_Style();
$this->_setFontBold($style, 10);
foreach ($invoices as $invoice) {
if ($invoice->getStoreId()) {
$this->_localeResolver->emulate($invoice->getStoreId());
$this->_storeManager->setCurrentStore($invoice->getStoreId());
}
$page = $this->newPage();
$order = $invoice->getOrder();
/* Add image */
$this->insertLogo($page, $invoice->getStore());
/* Add address */
$this->insertAddress($page, $invoice->getStore());
/* Add head */
$this->insertOrder(
$page,
$order,
$this->_scopeConfig->isSetFlag(
self::XML_PATH_SALES_PDF_INVOICE_PUT_ORDER_ID,
\Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
$order->getStoreId()
)
);
/* Add document text and number */
$this->insertDocumentNumber($page, __('Invoice # ') . $invoice->getIncrementId());
/* Add table */
$this->_doDrawHeader($page);
/* Add body */
foreach ($invoice->getAllItems() as $item) {
if ($item->getOrderItem()->getParentItem()) {
continue;
}
/* Draw item */
$this->_drawItem($item, $page, $order);
$page = end($pdf->pages);
}
/* Add totals */
$this->insertTotals($page, $invoice);
if ($invoice->getStoreId()) {
$this->_localeResolver->revert();
}
}
$this->_afterGetPdf();
return $pdf;
}
/**
* Create new page and assign to PDF object
*
* @param array $settings
* @return \Zend_Pdf_Page
*/
public function newPage(array $settings = [])
{
/* Add new table head */
$page = $this->_getPdf()->newPage(\Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$this->_getPdf()->pages[] = $page;
$this->y = 800;
if (!empty($settings['table_header'])) {
$this->_doDrawHeader($page);
}
return $page;
}
}
As it is editing a protected function __DrawHeader you should changes its name, like _doDrawHeader. Also you should edit its name in the calling method $this->_doDrawHeader($page); in public function getPdf

Working with the Zend Pdf library is a nightmare. It is a paid extension but the Fooman Pdf Customiser makes it much easier to manipulate/style the PDF's. It uses the tcpdf library.
Edit {{your-theme}}/template/fooman/pdfcustomiser/order/bottom.phtml and add the needed spacing to push to gift message on to a second page.
Look for this code:
