Editing pdf invoice

[flix]

I'd like to edit one part of the pdf invoices that my shop generates for customers.

On the bottom row of the form underneath Tax, it's displaying 20,000% - even though my tax rate is set to 20% throughout the store. All the figures are calculated and show correctly, it's just the format of the tax rate I want to change.

 

As far as I can see there's no way to edit this figure under pdf translations, so I figure it must be classes/pdf.php that needs editing. Does any have any ideas about what needs to be changed?

Thanks

it is the pdf.php class file.

 

the line you want is...

$this->Cell($w[1], $lineSize, number_format($tax_rate, 3, ',', ' ').' %', 0, 0, 'R');

 

there is a number 3 after $tax_rate. This means 3 decimals. You might try changing it to

$this->Cell($w[1], $lineSize, number_format($tax_rate).' %', 0, 0, 'R');

Great, thanks I'll give that a try now.

Changing that line of code worked great for the percentage figure, but it's now changed every £ sign into Â

 

Any ideas?

i don't believe the change to the number format would have effected the currency symbol. are you sure you did not alter the currency somehow?

[flix]

Very sure. I didn't alter currency at all, just the one line of code relating to the tax rate decimal points.

try to revert the change and see if it fixes it. I can't see how it effected it

[flix]

I've changed it back now, and it's displaying the £ again now. It's obviously reverted back to 20,000%. too.

very strange indeed. sorry, but i'm not sure I can help further on that issue.
