Magento Order Invoices - Text TINY, how do I enlarge it?

Question

When printing invoices (PDF) from Magento, the font is 7px... it's absolutely tiny, half my customers probably won't be able to read it, is there a way to make it 12+?

Thanks.

Answer 1

According to this entry on the magento message boards you need to edit these files:

/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php 
/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Abstract.php 
/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Items/Abstract.php

and change the second parameter, which is the font size, to the number you want on these methods:

_setFontRegular(), _setFontBold(), and _setFontItalic()

Answer 2

It is in the files in /app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/ you need to change the different fonts.

But if you set the font or size, so the text becomes bigger you need to find all the places in the code where it says $this->y -=XX; (most xx=10) and change all these places to a higher number if you change the fontsize.

Another way is to use my extension, where you can make all the pdf's from HTML.

Answer 3

You'll need to add on some numbers where it has $this->y. I also have a newly-updated extension which creates great-looking PDFs that you can fully customize.
