Simple Invoices - Forum

All of my PDFs are 512k or larger depending on the data on them. Have you added anything to the invoice like a pic/logo, some extra html code for comments, and/or paypal link. The link to my template is below and I also posted my code changes as well for those who need it.

I use http://www.simpleinvoices.org/wiki/template_-_no_labels


The issue I use to have was when they got to be 900k+ due to a NAT reflection I had with my network setup. This cause my logo to be replaced with a blank square and my paypal link didnt work. Also PDF generation was noticeably slow before i fixed this.

You need to edit the file /library/pdf/config.inc.php. Change the line

define('FONT_EMBEDDING_MODE', 'config');

to

define('FONT_EMBEDDING_MODE', 'none');

Check that it doesn't mess up your invoice layout (it shouldn't if not not using any unusual fonts). When I did this, my invoice size dropped to about 80k.

cool i will try that myself im just so us to seeing 500k especially coming from 900k+

committing the change and...

OMG that's awesome it worked like a charm. here i thought that was normal behavior. thanks a lot this is great for the bandwidth conscious. Yeah im seeing 60k files. =)
