How to Create a PDF Invoice

1. Pick a look. Open Template and Style and choose Classic, Modern, Minimal, Bold Dark, Elegant or Startup. Then set the accent color, font family and font size.
2. Fill in the parties. The form starts with sample data for Acme Studio LLC, so replace it in Business Info and Client Info. Download PDF and Print stay blocked while the sample business name or the sample bank details are still in the form.
3. Add the invoice details. In Invoice Details set the invoice number, status, issue and due dates, PO number and currency.
4. List what you are charging for. In Line Items edit Description, Qty and Rate. Amount is calculated for you. Click + Add line item for more rows.
5. Set totals and notes. In Taxes and Discounts switch on Apply Discount, Apply Tax / VAT or Shipping / Handling as needed. Then fill in Payment and Notes, and use Display Options to show or hide parts of the invoice.
6. Click Download PDF. A new tab opens with your browser print dialog. Choose Save as PDF as the destination and save. The colors print without any extra setting.

Why Use This PDF Invoice Generator

• Taxes, discounts and shipping. Add a percentage discount, a tax or VAT rate and a shipping amount, each with its own label. Ten currencies are available.

Good to know: Download PDF uses your browser's print dialog, so you need to choose Save as PDF there. Colors and backgrounds print on their own; turn off Headers and footers in the dialog for a clean page. A pop-up blocker can stop the print tab from opening. Nothing is saved: reloading or closing the page clears the invoice, so keep the PDF. There is no logo upload, only a text monogram. The tax rate applies to the whole invoice, the discount comes off before tax, and shipping is added after tax. This is a layout and math tool, so check your local invoicing rules. Done? Lock the file with Protect PDF.

FAQ

How do I make a PDF invoice?

Choose a template, replace the sample business and client details, add your line items and click Download PDF. In the print dialog that opens, choose Save as PDF.

Why are the colors missing from my saved PDF?

The invoice asks the browser to print its colors, so they should appear. If they don't, open the print dialog's more settings, switch on Background graphics and save again.

Is my invoice data saved anywhere?

No. Everything stays in your browser and is not stored. If you reload or close the page the invoice is gone, so save the PDF before you leave.

How are the discount and tax calculated?

The discount percentage comes off the subtotal first. The tax rate is then applied to the discounted amount, and any shipping is added after tax.

Can I add my logo?

There is no image upload. You can show a text monogram, such as your initials, and your business name and tagline.

Which currencies can I use?

US dollar, euro, British pound, Pakistani rupee, UAE dirham, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Indian rupee and Swiss franc.
