The logo displayed on the PDF invoices is located in the images folder. To change this to your own logo simply upload your logo to the images folder and name it "logo.jpg". --Jerapan 09:56, 20 June 2009 (BST)Link titleItalic text


Editing Text & Content

You can fully customize the PDF invoices such as adding or removing text, altering the layout or adding furthur images & formatting. This is done by editing the template file invoicepdf.tpl in your active template folder. The file contains all the code relating to the layout and display of the invoice in its PDF format. You will need a basic working knowledge of PHP coding in order to understand and modify the file.

The PDF's are generated using TCPDF & you can find a list of variables here: http://www.fpdf.org/
