Topic: Invoice print layout

New install of Version 2.3.22 Build 29.09.2014.

I must be missing something obvious, but my invoices don't look anything like the wiki page says they should. Here's what I get:

Here's what the wiki says I should get.

How can I get the invoice layout to include company and other info like on the wiki page?

Re: Invoice print layout

OK, after a lot of looking around I found a pdf file in the /company/0/pdf_files/ directory. That file contains all of the test invoices I've created so far in the proper format (displays company header and customer info in an attractive format).

I guess my question now is; how can those pdf invoices be printed from the FrontAcconting interface?

****Edited to Add****

OK, I figured it out. When you create a Direct Invoice don't print it, because it will be in the funky unattractive format. After you are done creating the invoice click Sales-->Inquiries and Reports-->Customer Transaction Inquiry. You will see all orders listed there. In the right column of each order there is a little printer icon. Click on the print icon and a pdf file in the attractive invoice format will display in a new browser window, which you can print.

Note: If the pdf invoice doesn't display when you click the print icon then you will need to install Acrobat Reader (and maybe the browser plugin) in the workstation computer.

I don't mind saying that this seems to be the long way around just to print an invoice. I don't see what it would hurt to have the capability to print a pdf invoice as soon as the invoice is created.

Set the way your browser treats the PDF extension - auto download, display in browser or ask for action choice - different naming of these labels in different browsers. Also enable js in browser and works well in default FireFox installation.
