I wonder if anyone can tell me how to customise the appearance of the invoice that OpenCart auto generates? I would like to add my logo; make the tables with address and products ordered take up less space and add some text below the tables.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have done a search of the forum but haven't found anything.

I think that there are some extension that can do this, here is one PDF Invoice
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... order=DESC

search the extensions for invoices there are quite a few

best regards

Thanks for your response, however, I don't really want a pdf invoice. I'm talking about the one to print (to enclose in a package). Since first posting my question, I found a thread about adding a logo to the invoice, which I have done, but I want to add more text ... "thank you for your business" etc etc... and I want to be able to print the invoice on a single sheet. At the moment the design layout takes up so much room that adding anything on the bottom would push me on to a second page, so I want to change the layout.
I don't really understand the file structure too well. For instance, the file you edit to add the logo (admin/view/template/sale/order_invoice.tpl) seems to provide instructions to "construct" an invoice, but no actual text which might appear as a constant on all invoices. At the moment it's going to be quicker for me to just type the order and customer info into a Word template but if business picks up this may not be practical. Any more help anybody can give would be gratefully received.
Kind regards,
Chris.

Hi,

I have just added a message to customers by creating a graphic and then following the instructions here http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ice#p63408 by ifyouseek. Instead of adding this image at the top I added the code to the bottom of the tpl file just before </body>.

Still looking for a better option if anyone comes up with one ;)
