1. Open PDF.co and Select PDF Filler
To start, let’s set the PDF.co as the App and the PDF Filler as the Action Event.
2. Configure the PDF Filler with Invoice Data
You can use our PDF Viewer tool to easily identify the coordinates of the area where you want to place your text and images in the PDF document. You can check it out here https://app.pdf.co/pdfviewer
- Leave the Source PDF field empty to create the Invoice from a clean slate.
- In the Text objects field, enter the coordinates, page number, text, font size, font name, and font color in this format
x;y;page;text;fontSize;fontName;fontColor. - In the Images field, same thing enter the coordinates, page number, image URL, width, and height in this format
x;y;page;urltoimage;;width;height
PDF.co has a built-in File Storage where you can upload, store and re-use your files. I uploaded an image file in my PDF.co File Storage and grabbed the link as my ImageURL in the Invoice. Check out this tutorial to see it in action.
3. Test & Review
Now it’s time to send our data over to PDF.co to Test & Review.
4. Copy and Paste URL to Browser to View and Download the Invoice
PDF.co generated a temporary URL where we can access the PDF Invoice. Copy and paste the URL in your browser to view and download the Invoice.
