After the module installation, a new tab “Custom PDFs” will be added in the PrestaShop back office (Orders -> PrestaShop Back office).

On clicking this tab, you will get three further tabs: Orders, PDF Preparation, and Negotiation Status.
Let’s understand each of them separately.

PDF Preparations

Under this section, you can create/add the custom PDFs and can view the listing of all created custom PDFs.

Add Custom PDF:

You will get a form on clicking “Add Custom PDF” as shown below.

Orders

Here, the list of all PrestaShop orders will appear. In each order line, you will get an option to generate the custom PDFs for that order.

Suppose you have created two different custom PDFs (from the PDF Preparation tab, which we will explain below).

Then, in each order line, you will see the list of all created custom PDFs, and from there, you can download one or all as per your wish.

Once you have generated the PDF, you will further get an option to view that PDF, download the PDF, and send the PDF to the customer via email.

In the Image shown below, a “Sample PDF” named pdf is downloaded for the order ID 5.

Generated PDF layout:

Now, if you need to generate a “Sample PDF” for Order ID 2, then click on “Sample PDF”, and it will get generated. Furthermore, you can view, download, and email it.

If you want to generate the “Sample PDF 1” for the same order i.e. Order ID 2 then press “Sample PDF 1” too. Both custom PDFs will get generated for the same order.

Using the Bulk Action button given on this page, you can generate custom PDFs of multiple orders together.

Furthermore, you can change status, view PDF, download PDF, and send PDF to the customer for multiple orders.

Negotiation Status:

In this section, you can create Negotiation Status and set them on the orders so that you can you can track the order with the status.

Add New Status:

You will need to fill in some fields in order to add the Negotiation status.
