[Solved] PDF Margin was created by Baptiste
Hi!

I'm using the invoice pdf for sending contract to registrants.

I try to had margin to the text inside the pdf. For the first page, i can had an empty paragraph in order to make "fake" margin, but that tricks doesn't work for next pages (as the contrat can have different lenght, i don't know where to add empty paragraph).

I try to search in the tcpdf_config.php file:
Code:
define ('PDF_MARGIN_HEADER', 5); and define ('PDF_MARGIN_TOP', 27);

but after changing values, it has no effect... can you advice me what to do?

Thank you very much!

You can see my problem here :

Hi Tuan,

Yes of course, here you are.
I use the invoice for contract, that's why i need more than one page.

Hello

Below are the changes we made:

1. Open the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php

2. Find the method generateInvoicePDF

3. Inside that method, find this line of code:
Code:
$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, 0, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);

4. Change it to:
Code:
$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, 20, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);

Regards,

Tuan

Tuan,

Will you be putting in a permanent change to the next release, along with a settings to allow customization from the admin UI?

Hello Stephan

Honestly, this solution is given by a support staff in my team. I haven't looked at the detail yet, but it is very likely I will add it configurable in future releases if it is needed

Will look at it when we come back to work on Tuesday. Having a short holiday here right now

Regards,

Tuan
