Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

I'm not sure, but perhaps the browser has some predefined styles too.

Alex:

I'm also looking at the CSS for the printed invoice, as I have a client complaining about the font size for the customer address. It is considerably small.

When viewing in Firefox, the font is 12px, but in the CSS fie it shows a much larger font. How or why is this font size being reduced, and where could we change the actual font to something that prints more clearly?

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

Hello Sam,

In the 5.2.15 version the files that define styles for the printed invoice are these:
- skins/admin/en/css/print.css (backend)
- skins/default/en/css/print.css (storefront)
- skins/pdf/en/order/invoice/print.css (PDF)

You should look for styles defined for the ".invoice-box .header .address p" selector.

Hello Alex:

Are you sure about "/skins/pdf/en/order/invoice/print.css (PDF)" ?

That "/pdf/" folder does not exist.

Also, how do I keep the changes, since after updating yesterday the other tweaks disappeared?

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

The PDF folder will appear if you install the 'PDF Invoice' module.

How did you do the changes?
Did you wrap modifications into a custom module as is described there: http://kb.x-cart.com/display/XDD/Basic+guide+to+theme+creation?

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

That is specific for Smarty Templates, how do you override the css files? I tried using custom CSS in the look and layout tab but that doesn't override the print css.

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

You should override following files that define styles for printed pages, in your custom module, or using the Custom Skin module that is available for free in the marketplace
- /skins/default/en/css/print.css
- /skins/admin/en/css/print.css
Here is the article that explains how to add CSS files to your module

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

same for 5.3.1?

Re: Invoices in the admin area print to large
 

I believe that in 5.3.x the files are:
- skins/admin/css/print.css
- skins/customer/css/print.css
- skins/pdf/common/order/invoice/print.css
