i have installed bamboo and i am able to login and access all the options after logging in.

my question is how to customize the pdf file. i have to create a pdf file which have the following information

ex: computer model name, model number, hours worked, and other details.

i believe a pdf.php file has to be editted.

1. so do i have to create all the formatting requirements first in html and then copy this html code into the pdf.php file and
2. all the php echo statements that are already in the pdf.php do i have to move them around the page or do i have to completely delete all the php echo statements and only have the html code which would have the layout of the invoice.

please advice how to i go about and what other steps i might have missed. also is there a link which consists of a detailed document about customizing bambooinvoice.

thanks.

how about the view.php file

should i also edit view.php or only the pdf.php file

also like i mentioned i have to make an invoice where in details such as
computer make, model, number of machines etc will need to be added so i would need to enter text and numeric values.

the code i generate from html if it has a text field for enter information, and if i take this html code into the php file will it allow me to enter the details such as computer make, model, number of machines etc and when i save as a pdf file will i be able to see all this information. because presently when i create an invoice after logging in to bamboo all i see is
item description, quantity and other details. also is there a link which has a documentation for using pdf.php and view.php file.

please advice.

No sorry, there’s no documentation on altering those files.
