    Currently you have to print the invoice using CutePDF, add a built-in PDF generator for this Plugin.

    Should be added to the Purchase Receipt and Admin Report at purchase time. Could also be saved to the server and available within My Account.

    just saw this, perhaps you could adapt another plugin i’m making use of? : http://www.techna2.com/blog/documentation/wp-post-to-pdf/

    ^ works great for WPEC product pages. i had to make some tweaks to get it to work…

    in wp-post-to-pdf.php after the line:

    // Process shortcodes if selected
    if ($this->options['processShortcodes'])
    $post->post_content = do_shortcode($post->post_content);

    i added:

    // Strip HTML formatting (i.e. post-text = strip_tags(post-text, 'exceptions') )
    // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
    $post->post_content = strip_tags($post->post_content, '');

    // Get post image (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-get-post-image/)
    if (function_exists('wp_get_post_image'))
    $image = wp_get_post_image('width=500&parent_id='.$post->ID);

    … and further down, i updated the output to:

    // Set some content to print
    $html = " . html_entity_decode($post->post_title, ENT_QUOTES) . ";
    $html = html_entity_decode($image, ENT_QUOTES);
    $html .= html_entity_decode($post->post_content, ENT_QUOTES);

    the result is a clean pdf with the main post image above it.

    then i edited the generate_pdf_file() function to include the wpsc-product page type:

    if ('post' != $post->post_type and 'page' != $post->post_type and 'wpsc-product' != $post->post_type)

    … using icon position = ‘manual’ setting under options, simply included the code in the single product page template.

    Hi envo, very nice. I’ll have a play with that tomorrow. Seems simple enough. 🙂
