Why downloading PDF invoices are not available yet?

Featured Replies

Hello,

These are the things I do not understand at all with Invision.

Any business, at least, in Spain, and Europe, needs to deliver all the invoices every quarter to their accountants to pay taxes, etc.

How do we deliver the invoice? In PDF format or paper. The later is obsolete — everyone uses PDF.

Well, long ago, I requested the feature to just "download" all the PDFs or individual PDF for each invoice. Something, very simple and required by any business.

How am I supposed to download a PDF if there is no download option? There are hundreds of invoices to be generated and the steps necessary to generate those PDFs require a LOT OF STEPS and mouse clicks, it's insane.

Why isn't that option there? The download of PDF invoices is something that ANY company has, Google, Netflix, any company. You click on the arrow down button, or PDF download, and voila, you get it.

It's something very simple. I requested this basic and compulsory feature for every business years ago. Version 5 of ACP and nothing. The Commerce module has been untouched for ages.

If a payment system is created, the possibility of downloading an INVOICE is a must. But ACP doens't have that option. I really really do not understand why. It escapes my imagination. It's sad :(

This is what we can do with the invoices:

  1. View invoice. (waste of time) Which gives you the option to print it and then from there it opens a browser window from where you have to choose several menu options to print each individual invoice. That's INISANE. We just need a click - DOWNLOAD PDF. SImple. And any programmer can do that in a few minutes. ACP has the PDF libraries to generate PDFs, it should be a simple thing.

  2. Print. As slow as view invoice. It requires a lot of steps to get the digital PDF. A waste of time

I really don't understand. It's so simple to have the PDF icon to click on it and generate/download the PDF. I requested this years ago, something so simple, and NOTHING :(

Now I will need to waste a few hours, going invoice by invoice and printing the PDF. sad

This is what needs to be done right now, which is insane:

Step-by-Step

  1. Navigate to the Commerce

  2. Open each specific invoice you wish to save.

  3. Initiate the Print function

  4. In the print dialog box, look for a "Save as PDF,"

  5. Save the file to your desired location on your computer. 

This is to be done hundreds of times for each invoice. Crazy!

I understand you are requesting a new feature here, but please bear in mind that not all features will make the platform, and new features will tend to come in batches. For example, we may well do a large update to gallery, and at that point, we would decide on what features to add and add them as decided on.

While you havent seen some features added, please do bear in mind we have added new features that have been requested by many, and have done a major upgrade to the software in releasing version 5. As much as we would like to do everything, we have a finite amount of resource. We could very well add a function such as this, but it would be at the expence of something else we were doing, and someone else would be disapointed as a result. So we have to make decisions based on what benefits our customer base at large, and the vision of the platform. Just trying to say here, you are not being ignored, but not all features requested are going to come over night, and some may not come at all.
