Attach an official invoice in PDF

[quetevendo]

Hello I have a question, I've been looking for over an hour addons and find nothing like what I need.

I require the ability to attach an official invoice in PDF created outside the store to a customer either in the comments of the order or a billing section where customers can download invoices that apply ...

Has anyone seen any of this ...

Thank You

I don't think an addon that does that exists. There is a PDF invoice addon but it is just internal. Something like what you want would have to be coded.

I never tried this addon but this might help you put something together that works.

There are various Topics regarding attaching invoices to confirmation emails.

But as Jack said they all send files that are predefined (like a Terms & Conditions pdf) or just the osC invoice.

 

You could evtl. code something by taking a look at the upload image function inside the categories.php, which will be needed to upload the external created invoice to the server first and then you need to create a tep_mail_attach function that reads that pdf file and sends it with the status update email or evtl. with the send email function from the admin.

The german osC forum has a few good topics regarding that matter.

 

Last resort would be to let somebody code it for you. (Not me, i lack the skill.)

I have been thinking about this and I have modified this addon

to save the file to a folder on the server.

 

I will look at this again tomorrow night and see if I can get it into a mail attachment.

I dont know how far you have got with this, but if you are having trouble producing the invoice as a pdf there are many pdf printers available, which is what I occasionaly use when I need to do one for a customer. Some are free as well.

This is not an error to generate, no addons invoice generator is useful, because the invoice is generated in the administration manually outside the store, with the quote of the local currency and government requirements, must be attached manually from the admin and made available to the customer's down from your account.

Try pdflatex...you do have to do some coding...but it's not too bad...
