Hi,
I have two questions:
1) How can I set the footer in the invoice to be displayed at the bottom of the pdf and not right below the product table
2) One company is a seller, second company is a sender. How to get them both on the invoice and ev. other documents?
I have both companies set up in general settings, but at the first one it is not possible to add any adresse.
