create an invoice in pdf questions

[Egocentralis]

Hi,

On the website we have a module what combines different invoices to create a combined invoice with customers and total prices per line.

Now i want to create a pdf. The problem is that it shows a lot of things off the page what I do not want to show in the pdf. And I want to show some elements with info what are hidden on the website view of the form.

How can I achieve to hide some elements on the pdf, and show some hidden elements in the form on the pdf?

I think it should be easy but.. i cannot find a good way to do this.

Can someone give me some advice?

Regards

A PDF is always a details view (not form view). Create a custom details template, E.g.

Cool, thanks! That was helpfull. I just copied the list and form.. and made some adjustments with hide elements, etc and it is starting to look good.

In one field, there is an ammount showing like 100,35. How can i get an € behind this?

In your element You can set:

• Format string - Applies the PHP sprintf function to the string when displaying the data in the list view or detailed view.

If you create template with single elements just modify HTML something like <div class="my_element"><?php echo $ammount; ?><span>€</span></div>
You can see an example here
