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

» /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.

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.

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?

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?

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);
