Topic: Include, when attachment is uploaded, the attachment with the invoice

Hi,

Nowadays I am requested more often to merge my attachment with de invoiced pdf file. Now I have to download the invoice and merge the attachment by hand, which is time-consuming. This has to do with the fact that more and more companies use e-factoring to process invoices.

Hopefully more FA users will support my request.

Best regards,

Did you mean re-invoiced pdf file?

@apmuthu,
When one places an invoice he/she is also prompted to add an attachment. What @normanos@serck.nl would like to do is to be able to automatically combine the invoice and the attachment in one pdf file. Today what he is doing is downloading the invoice and the attachment and merging them manually in one pdf.

Linux poppler is the way to go.

sudo apt install pdftk-java

# Once done, you just have to follow the simple command structure to merge PDF files:
