How FreshBooks writes PDFs
- • Invoices are generated from templates.
- • Amounts are right aligned.
What that means when you change the total
- • Amounts and line items edit in place; keep totals consistent yourself.
- • Amounts in FreshBooks PDFs are right aligned, so a longer value grows to the left and the column stays straight.
What happens to the rest of the page
- • Totals are right aligned, so longer amounts grow to the left.
- • Double check the arithmetic; the PDF will not do it.
Questions people ask
+Does it check the maths?
No. A PDF is a printed page. Check the numbers before sending.
+Is it better to edit in FreshBooks?
If you have the original FreshBooks file and a lot to change, yes. For quick changes to the PDF itself, editing the PDF is faster and keeps it exactly as sent.
