PDF Invoices
 

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know if there is a Mod that can automatically generate PDF invoices.

Ideally these would be in the form of an attachment to the Invoice that is sent to clients upon an order being "processed".

A lot of my clients don't regard an HTML invoice as a "real invoice".

Any suggestions?

Cheers

No, but do let us all know if you find out about it.
It's something we have been thinking about for a while now as it's specially usefull for our customers that request NOT to include a paper invoice in with their order (so as to avoid import taxes)

Have a look at this :

Excellent links, anyone get this working with X-cart?

there are heaps of programs that do this.
I am using cuteftp on my xcart
google will find it.

Cheers Don...

Anyone had any luck on this ... producing a PDF invoice on the fly ?

might be worth putting on the x-cart wish list (if it still exists)

makes sense to me. let's see, how it works in future.

Well,

I am working on a mod that can do this for over 4 months, and..... I got it working.
Till now, it was very much php and smarty programming.
But it is not ready yet, the end is near.

Given time i will provide a link were you can see this working.

The output is an invoice pdf on the fly that opens in your browser page (or if you wish) in a seperate window, instead of the standard xcart html output. It is even possible for the customer to choose between a pdf or html invoice. (I am also working on an option to mail the invoice in pdf format to the customer, but this is not priority).
It works for IE and Firefox.

Unfortunately, table positioning is a big issue in pdf files, and is not the way i want it, so the output is a little distorted for now.

I keep on working on this mod.

Sounds awesome, let us know how this works out.!
