How to Save an Invoice as a PDF on A4 or Letter Paper

The Lumara invoice generator does not create or upload PDF files itself. Instead, Download PDF and Print Invoice open your browser's print window, where you can choose Save as PDF. The file is made on your own device, so you stay in control of it.

Steps

1. Fill in the invoice and check the preview.
2. Click Download PDF. A short help window explains the next step. Click Open print window.
3. Set the destination or printer to Save as PDF.
4. Choose the paper size: A4 or Letter.
5. Click Save and choose where the file goes. The suggested file name is your invoice number and business name.
6. Open the saved file and check it before you send it.

If something looks wrong

• Totals or edges cut off. Leave the scale on its default and the margins on default or standard.
• Browser date or web address in the corners. Turn off headers and footers in the print window's more-settings area.
• No logo. If the logo is not in the preview, it will not be in the PDF. Upload it again in the business section.
• Long invoices. The table headings repeat on the next page in most browsers.
• On a phone. Options vary by browser. If Save as PDF is missing, try another browser or use a computer.

The printed layout is made to save ink: coloured backgrounds are removed, and the accent colour appears as lines and headings.
