Dear Kai,

You can do that by going to EShop -> System -> Message, then click on Invoice Layout to edit it as the way that you want.

Sincerely, Giang

Hello,

I am not sure about that. Please try to edit the invoice layout to insert your back-ground image there if it works as your expect or not.

Well, that doesn't work. Tried it.
Which file is used t generate the PDF? I see it's the TCPDF library, but which file can i edit to manually add a background or footer?

Hell Kai,

Yes, we use TCPDF library for generating PDF from our extension. I think in this case you should take some googe search about how to add background for PDF file use TCPDF.

It maybe requires some hack or modification I think.

Hello Kai,

Please look at the file components/com_eshop/helpers/helper.php, then check the function:

public static function generateInvoicePDF($cid)

Hope that this is useful.
