Enable RTL support

To provide support for RTL languages like Arabic, Hebrew, etc. you can use our mPDF addon. Due to the limitations in the inbuilt DomPDF library that converts HTML to PDF, special characters or images may not be rendered properly. Therefore, it would be better if you can use our free mPDF addon plugin to generate PDFs for documents.

  • PDF library: Choose between Dompdf and mpdf.

Packaging Type

The packaging type will be applicable to all documents, except the Invoice. You can select the packaging type from the three available options:

Invoice/Pack Slip-Packaging Type
Invoice/Pack Slip-Packaging Type
  • Pack items individually – For example, if an order has 2 quantities of product A and 1 quantity of product B, then, there will be three packages consisting of one item each from the order.
  • Single package (per order) – All the items belonging to the order are packed together into a single package. Every order will have a respective package.
  • Box packing (per order) – All the items belonging to order are packed into the respective boxes as per the configuration. Every order may have one or more boxes based on the configuration.
  • box packing
    • To define a new box size, click the Add Box button. All cart items are packed into custom boxes defined in Box Size settings. The best fit box is chosen automatically from the defined boxes. This box dimension and weight settings are applicable only when Box Packing is selected. Based on your requirement, you can enable or disable a particular box using the checkbox under the Enabled column of the respective box rule.

Finally, click on the Update Settings button, to save the settings.

Temp files

Whenever the PDF documents are sent as email attachments or if printed using print node, a local copy of the same will be maintained in your system. You can access it from the Temp files section.

  • Total files: Shows the total number of temp files.
  • Automatic cleanup: Choose to auto clean up the tempfiles or not.
  • Interval: Set an interval for auto cleanup. Eg: 1440 for 1 day.

      Hi Pedro,

      Thanks for reaching out.

      Go to the order edit page and under the custom field section, you will see a meta with the name wf_invoice_number. You can either delete or edit it.
