Dunno the answer why the currency symbols do not display as I didn't develop the PDF Packing Slip code.. All I can do is ask the original developer and see if he can/will fix this.. As for the balance due, what displays in the balance due on the order detail???

2. Printing order detail produces a slight error. See screen shot 2...
"1054 Unknown column 'track_id1' in 'field list'
in:
[select orders_status_id, date_added, customer_notified, track_id1, track_id2, track_id3, track_id4, track_id5, comments from orders_status_history where orders_id = '17877' order by date_added]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields."
This problem is only on order detail printout pages, invoice/packing slip print out pages don't show this error.
Ask & answered a fee times in this support thread. Please search for "super_data_sheet.php". There is a posted fix for this.

3. Perhaps I'm being a bit stupid here but how do I access PDF invoice print outs? See screen shot 3.
I can see there are PDF packing slip option and master packing list options on the Batch Form Printing page (although the generated PDF Packing Slip actually looks more like an invoice to me).
But I can't see a specific option to creare a PDF invoice print out, is this correct?
As I've stated a few times in this thread, the PDF packing slip is a DETAILED packing slip not unlike those used by other large e-commerce sites. Therefore it has invoice-like aspects included. I don't know if this answers your question.
1. Hmm... is this a known issue? I've noticed at least two other people in this thread are having the same problem but I can't see a resolution.
Ignore what I said about balance due, of course it's meant to read 0.00 if we're taking payment upon placement of the order

2. Great, worked perfectly thanks.

3. OK. I understand that the packing slip is a detailed packing slip. But is there no way to generate a separate pdf INVOICE (regardless of how similar it may be to the packing slip)?
Or do most people treat the pdf master packing list as their "packing list" and the detailed pdf packing list as the "invoice"?

A few other questions that I can't find an answer to...

4. We'd like PDF invoices and packing slips to be generated when one of the admin clicks the "invoice" or "packing slip" buttons via admin > customers > super orders (effectively removing access to the browser based invoices/packing slips). Is this something that anyone has attempted to do before?

5. Is there a guide to modifying the PDF output of the master packing slip and packing slip PDFs?

Thanks!
