You're most welcome and in your turn you too can help other newbies getting their feet wet in FA.

Since you have managed to make and test such a version of the header2.inc, you can submit it in 2 parts to the project - one having just the lines to make pre-printed stationery, and another for use with such pre-printed stationery.

HI, hope you doing great joe,
What if I want to line in my invoice? I want to print paper from printing press, and my frontaccounting only write text there, becuase I am using dot matrix printer and that take long time for printing lines, especially that vertical lines, So please help me that how can I remove all the lines from invoice, that will be better if you can paste that complete code here of that file, I am not expert , but I can go and copy paste things in /reporting/includes/ directory. Thanks in advance, and will wait for your reply. Thanks again bro.

I found the solution :-) Even though I started Kate with kdesu variable, the changes was not saved. I used Nano and I could do the adjustment. $this->row = $this->pageHeight - $this->topMargin - 3 * $this->lineHeight;

It is the first row after the comments.
$this->row = $this->pageHeight - $this->topMargin - 45;

$upper = $this->row - 2 * $this->lineHeight;
$lower = $this->bottomMargin + 8 * $this->lineHeight;
$iline1 = $upper - 7.5 * $this->lineHeight;
etc.

Well, I am not at the source computer right now. Please have a look into the code, that the row is not set later.

The values decrease from top to bottom. So I guess you should use, - 18, instead of + 18.

I have tried to increase the top margin in file header2inc: $this->row = $this->pageHeight - $this->topMargin;
to this value: $this->row = $this->pageHeight - $this->topMargin + 18;

Nothing changes.
How can I increase top margin?

Please help how do I insert the information right under the "Charge To" details.
