Magento: Add custom text at the bottom of invoice pdf - magento

Question

I am very new in Magento.
I want to add some "term & condition" at the bottom of customer invoice.
I know This question is already posted on the portal, But I didn't found any solution yet.
Can anyone explain me how to do that.

Answer 1

Open the file app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php and add the below function at the end of the file
public function insertConditions($page)
{
$page->drawLine(25, $this->y, 570, $this->y);
$this->y -= 25;
$page->drawText(Mage::helper('sales')->__('Your custom text here!'), 35, $this->y, 'UTF-8');
}
Now, you need to call this insertConditions() function in the getPdf() function like below :
public function getPdf($invoices = array())
{
$this->_beforeGetPdf();
$this->_initRenderer('invoice');
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$this->_setPdf($pdf);
$style = new Zend_Pdf_Style();
$this->_setFontBold($style, 10);
foreach ($invoices as $invoice) {
if ($invoice->getStoreId()) {
Mage::app()->getLocale()->emulate($invoice->getStoreId());
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($invoice->getStoreId());
}
$page = $this->newPage();
$order = $invoice->getOrder();
/* Add image */
$this->insertLogo($page, $invoice->getStore());
/* Add address */
$this->insertAddress($page, $invoice->getStore());
/* Add head */
$this->insertOrder(
$page,
$order,
Mage::getStoreConfigFlag(self::XML_PATH_SALES_PDF_INVOICE_PUT_ORDER_ID, $order->getStoreId())
);
/* Add document text and number */
$this->insertDocumentNumber(
$page,
Mage::helper('sales')->__('Invoice # ') . $invoice->getIncrementId()
);
/* Add table */
$this->_drawHeader($page);
/* Add body */
foreach ($invoice->getAllItems() as $item){
if ($item->getOrderItem()->getParentItem()) {
continue;
}
/* Draw item */
$this->_drawItem($item, $page, $order);
$page = end($pdf->pages);
}
/* Add totals */
$this->insertTotals($page, $invoice);
if ($invoice->getStoreId()) {
Mage::app()->getLocale()->revert();
}
}
$this->insertConditions($page); // the custom text is added here
$this->_afterGetPdf();
return $pdf;
}
PS. I would advice to override the core files instead of changing them directly.
