Format PDF Invoice was created by Marlon Bovell
Is there a way to format the PDF so it maintains the layout I've created in the editor? Once the PDF is generated, the layout is not maintained at all. Please see the screenshot of the template vs actual PDF output. What you can't see in the template screenshot is the 50px margin at the top of the page, but see how the generated PDF has no margin on top.

Hello Marlon

PDF, unfortunately, does not like HTML. It's more difficult to manage PDF layout because it does not support all html attributes and only basic css support.

So the preview of your layout in editor (basically, HTML layout) might not look like the layout you received in the PDF output

For your case, you can submit a support ticket sending us super admin account of your site and tell us how you want to change the PDF layout. We will look at it and try to find a solution for you

Hello Tuan,

That's understandable. If you can provide some guidance on which table elements and/or css can be styled, I will try to work it out. The Google machine wasn't helpful :(

TCPDF (the library which we are using) does not have useful documentation for this, so the only way we can do is try to modify, check the result and then do it again and again until we get the expected result

As mentioned, in this case, you should submit a support ticket so that we can try to look at it and find a solution for you

Regards,

Tuan

OK thanks again. Before I submit a ticket I will continue to tweak my layout to try to get it working.
