Custom Templates #

From Version-4.2.0 onwards, we added File Based Custom Templates which allow you to create your own templates for Invoices & Estimates according to your requirements.

Create Templates #

To create a new template, you can create a new blade file on the path resources/views/app/pdf/invoice (for Invoices) and resources/views/app/pdf/estimate (For Estimates).

You can also use the php artisan make:template your-template-name command to quickly create a template. If you're using docker setup use command: docker-compose exec app php artisan make:template your-template-name.

This command duplicates the invoice1 template which ships with Crater by default.

Any .blade.php file added to the above given PDF Directory will automatically appear on your Choose a Template dialog.
