I have succesfully used an image as a background and added extra data. This is very much what I needed for my site but can be adapated for other solutions - for example gift vouchers or gift certificates.
All the changes are made to delivery.pdf.php starting around line 350 (the end of the invoice page).
Note I am using the latest TCPDF package 5.0.004, Virtuemart 1.1.4 and J! 1.5.17
Code: Select all
// remove default header/footer
/* This gets rid of the Invoice header and footer
* I have not found a way of re-introducing another header
* as it can't be re-declared
*/
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
//set margins
$pdf->SetMargins(10, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, 10);
//set auto page breaks
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
//set image scale factor
$pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);
//set some language-dependent strings
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
