Billing module invoice template

Hi

Is it possible to create a personalized pdf invoice template based in existing templates?

I tried duplicating existing template directory with another name, and my "new template" is listed as an option, but it fails when trying to use it.

Yes, just make a copy of one of the xisting templates. Ensure that the dircetory name has no white spaces as in your first attempt, use underscore "_" instead.

Then open the make_pdf_invoice.php file in your newly created directory and edit the calssname to match the new name. There are instructions in the file:

Code:

/*

   Here we extend tfpdf and create a new class. the name of the Class has to be

   PDFInvoice_ plus the name of the template, in this case "default" so the full

   name of the class is "PDFInvoice_default".

*/



class PDFInvoice_default extends tFPDF
