    How do I change the line spacing for the address and the size of the logo? Also for some reason the Grand Total and the product line font size still stays at 7pts.
    thanks for any help!

    Is it possible to generate invoice pdf without zlib extension?
    I tried to comment out logo and some other stuff but nothing changes, i receive an error from Zend Framework pdf code: “You have to use zlib extension”

    How would i go about adding something like the customers tax/vat number on the invoice?

  7. By Terminology Software on Sep 2, 2009

    You can get customer TAX/VAT value like that:

    $customer = Mage::getModel(‘customer/customer’)->load($order->getData(‘customer_id’));
    $taxVat = $customer->getData(‘taxvat’);

    Then you can write it into right place in pdf document like that:

    $page->drawText($taxVat);

    but aren’t those templates gone with the next update?

    is there a way to put them inside the template folder itself ?

    This:

    $customer = Mage::getModel(’customer/customer’)->load($order->getData(’customer_id’));
    $taxVat = $customer->getData(’taxvat’);

    works only for registered user. How can I get tax/vat number for guest customer?

    how do you switch shipping costs with total tax, now shipping costs is displayed below total tax, i want to switch these two in the pdf layout, because now it is confusing. In checkout page it’s all shown ok, but not in the invoice screen in backend and also in the pdf printout the shipping costs and tax are switched… How to resolve this?

    How would one go about getting the invoiced date so i can add to the invoice. It is a requirments by law in Australia for the invocied date to be present on our tax invoices or else it is an illegal invoice. There are other requirments that i needed to address, but have managed to get them all sorted, just missing the invoiced date.

    Before making any changes to the template files be sure to copy them into

    ยป /app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/…..etc

    That way they won’t be overwritten when you upgrade. Never change anything in app/code/core or you will be in a big mess when it comes to upgrades.

    Could anyone shed any light on increasing the line-height? I have managed to increase the font-size but can’t seem to find the right var for the line-height?
