Showcase your brand name and logo, add the company details and improve the brand engagement with existing customers!

A makeover for the default Magento 2 invoice PDF with informative header and footer is just going to be easy with the below solution!

Add the function _drawFooter() in the class – Vendor\Module\Model\Rewrite\Order\Pdf\Invoice

Method to Add Header and Footer to Magento 2 Invoice PDF:

protected function _drawFooter(\Zend_Pdf_Page $page)
    {
        /* Add table foot */
        try {
            $this->y -= 10;
            $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
            $fileSystem = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Framework\Filesystem');
			$mediaPath = $fileSystem->getDirectoryRead(\Magento\Framework\App\Filesystem\DirectoryList::MEDIA)->getAbsolutePath();

            $image = \Zend_Pdf_Image::imageWithPath($mediaPath.'wysiwyg\your_image.png');   // [MAGENTO_ROOT]/pub/media/wysiwyg/your_image.png This is an absolute path
            $top = 70;
            //top border of the page
            $widthLimit = 270;
            //half of the page width
            $heightLimit = 270;
            
			$width = $image->getPixelWidth();
            $height = $image->getPixelHeight();

            //preserving aspect ratio (proportions)
            $ratio = $width / $height;
            if ($ratio > 1 && $width > $widthLimit) {
                $width = $widthLimit;
                $height = $width / $ratio;
            } elseif ($ratio < 1 && $height > $heightLimit) {
                $height = $heightLimit;
                $width = $height * $ratio;
            } elseif ($ratio == 1 && $height > $heightLimit) {
                $height = $heightLimit;
                $width = $widthLimit;
            }

            $y1 = $top - $height;
            $y2 = $top;
            $x1 = 35;
            $x2 = $x1 + $width;

            //coordinates after transformation are rounded by Zend
            $page->drawImage($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2);
            $font = $this->_setFontBoldOver($page, 10);
            $value = $this->getFooterContent();
            $line = 28;
            if ($value !== '') {
                $value = str_replace(' @ ', "\n", $value);

                $page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));
                $page->setLineColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
                foreach(explode("\n", $value) as $textLine){
                    //$feed = $this->getAlignCenter($textLine, 30, 520, $font, 12);
                    $page->drawText(strip_tags($textLine), 120, $line, 'UTF-8');
                    $line -=16;
                }
                $page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0));
            }
            $this->y -= 20;
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info($e->getMessage());
        }
    }

$ratio = $width / $height;

if ($ratio > 1 && $width > $widthLimit) {

$width = $widthLimit;

$height = $width / $ratio;

} elseif ($ratio < 1 && $height > $heightLimit) {

$height = $heightLimit;

$width = $height * $ratio;

} elseif ($ratio == 1 && $height > $heightLimit) {

$height = $heightLimit;

$width = $widthLimit;

}

$y1 = $top - $height;

$y2 = $top;

$x1 = 35;

$x2 = $x1 + $width;

//coordinates after transformation are rounded by Zend

$page->drawImage($image, $x1, $y1, $x2, $y2);

if ($value !== '') {

$page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_RGB(0, 0, 0));

$page->setLineColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));

foreach(explode("\n", $value) as $textLine){

//$feed = $this->getAlignCenter($textLine, 30, 520, $font, 12);

$page->drawText(strip_tags($textLine), 120, $line, 'UTF-8');

$line -=16;

}

$page->setFillColor(new \Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0));

}

$this->y -= 20;

} catch (\Exception $e) {

\Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get('Psr\Log\LoggerInterface')->info($e->getMessage());

}

In this class, you have to override insertOrder() method and replace the following code:

$this->insertTotals($page, $invoice);

1	$this->insertTotals($page, $invoice);

with:

$page = $this->insertTotals($page, $invoice);
$this->_drawFooter($page);

1 2	$page = $this->insertTotals($page, $invoice); $this->_drawFooter($page);

That’s it! The above example is to add the logo and address in the footer. You can customize the code as per the business requirement and send invoices as the specimen shown here:

    Hello Himanshu,
    Yes, it is possible. For shipment, you need to inherit the shipment related class.
    Thank you.

Hi Sanjay,
What is the purpose of using Object Manager here in the code sample?

  Hello,
  The Object Manager is used to initialize Magento\Framework\Filesystem
  Using Magento\Framework\Filesystem object, we can get absolute path of current magento.
  Thanks.
