Generate PDF's

Example

Refer to src/bin/generate_sample_invoice.rs for an example.

let pdf_data = generate_pdf_invoice(
    &order,
    &order_items,
    &warehouse_address,
    properties,
    translation,
)
.map_err(|e| format!("Failed to generate PDF: {:?}", e))?;

Fonts

You can customize the fonts, but because they are not embedded, they have to be available on the target system, or you'll see a fallback. This is particularly important if you want bold text.

On Linux, it's easy to find out which fonts are available. To list bold fonts:

fc-list | grep Bold
