Description

Convert any HTML to PDF invoice templates!

Our PDF Customizer Magento 2 extension is designed for easy and fast editing of any PDF invoice templates and other documents without any programming skills.

You can quickly add your site logo, product image, terms of service, tax information, or any other custom information to a template or change colors, margins, background, etc. so that your invoice looks more individual and appealing.

Besides invoices, you can modify templates of shipments and packing slips the same way, and just make them more informative to your customers and corresponding with the general design of your website.

PDF Customizer features

Convert HTML to PDF

Our product utilizes Wkhtmltopdf library which makes PDF from HTML document. In addition, you can use CSS to easily apply colors, margins, and other styles to printable PDF documents. This provides unlimited flexibility and allows you to fulfill your design ideas.

Add product attributes to PDF invoice

Certainly, you can display product attributes (product weight, style, season, warranty etc.) to the templates. Please refer to the user guide for more information.

Display product images

Unlike native PDF documents, Our Magento 2 PDF extension lets you add product images to the PDF invoice templates.

Attach PDF files to sales emails

Customers no longer need to look for the "Print Invoice" button on your site. Now PDF files can be attached to sales emails.

Flexible templates for everyone

PDF Customizer Magento 2 extension allows printing not only PDF Magento templates for a custom invoice, shipment and credit memo, but also creating printable order confirmation. You can make a custom template for both admins and customers/guests. In other words, you can print pdf packing slips (order without invoice) which allows you to bypass native Magento workflow; It is required for offline orders management.

Bulk export of PDF documents

With PDF Customizer Magento 2 extension, a store administrator can export PDF files in a bulk from Sales → Orders page. This greatly simplifies the management of orders. On top of that, you can even print orders of Pending status as packing slips.

Using Google Font in PDF templates

Using your own fonts in native PDF documents is not an easy task, especially if it's a Google font. PDF Customizer Magento 2 extension allows you to use Google fonts in the same way as you do in HTML.

Support of multiple languages

This Magento 2 PDF extension allows you to configure different templates for different storeviews, thus supporting the Magento 2 multi-stores.
By the way, our module also supports Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese and other non-latin symbols.

Can be used on shared hosting!

Magento merchants with shared hosting are often not allowed to install additional server applications. The good news is PotatoCommerce PDF extension can work on both dedicated and shared hosting! Thereby, this product can work on any Magento 2 store regardless server environment.

Reduced size of PDF

The size of a PDF file created by PDF Customizer is approximately 30% smaller than the one created by default Magento functionality.

How PDF files are designed in Magento 2?

By default, Zend_Pdf is used to create custom PDF templates in Magento 2. You should know that this is almost a challenge to create and include a new PDF template, as this requires knowledge of PHP and experience in development under Magento 2. To edit a template you need to write a PHP-script that includes commands with the exact coordinates (“pen up → move to (x;y) → pen down → move to (x,y)”). There is no any markup, support of stylesheets or custom fonts; each element has its absolute independent positions, which makes the customization of native PDF files at best time-consuming, at worst impossible.

Why customize PDF invoice templates?

Besides, looking unappealing boring and inefficient, default invoice templates are lack of such useful information such as logo, product images, product details, tax information, footer, company info etc. PDF invoice templates are part of your online business, so they must be of high quality and match your brand.

How to make custom PDF template in Magento 2?

All templates can be created and modified in Magento 2 admin interface. Our extension comes with 8 default PDF templates which you can use as a starting point. To create a new template you need to go to Admin Panel > Content > PDF Customizer > Templates, then click on Add Template button. On the New Template page, you can use one of the existing templates as a base, or start your template from the scratch. Once your template saved, you need to select it in the extension settings. After that, the template is ready to go.

How to add product attribute to PDF in Magento 2?

It is often needed to add some product information to PDF documents. It can be product brand, weight, manufacturer or any other custom attribute. To add this file to the PDF document, you need to use this code snippet: {{var item.getProduct().getAttributeText('your_attribute_code')}}. You can learn more about using variables in the documentation.

IMPORTANT! PDF Customizer extension uses wkhtmltopdf library to convert HTML to PDF. You need to choose one of the options:

Install wkhtmltopdf on your server
In this case PDF files will be printed faster. It is especially important for bulk printing. Wkhtmltopdf installation guide is available on this page. It is also required to allow "exec" function.
Our extension will check if the library is installed and if the extension can run "exec" function. It will let you know if something goes wrong.
Use PotatoCommerce PDF Service
Often merchants are not allowed to install additional server software or change webserver settings. This may be due to restrictions from hosting or a system administrator. Many people also prefer not to allow the use of Exec function for security reasons. For these reasons we provide the ability to print files through our server, i.e. with the help of Wkhtmltopdf library installed on our server. This functionality is currently free, but we do not exclude that someday we will introduce limits and make the service paid.
