    wkhtmltopdf

    wkhtmltopdf

    Convert HTML to PDF using Webkit (QtWebKit)

    wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source (LGPLv3) command line tools to render HTML into PDF and various image formats using the Qt WebKit rendering engine. These run entirely "headless" and do not require a display or display service. There is also a C library, if you're into that kind of thing. The file pdf.h contains a fairly high level and stable pure c binding to wkhtmltopdf. These binding are well documented and do not depend on QT. Using this is the recommended way of interfacing with the PDF portion of libwkhtmltox. The rest of the headers directly exposes the C++ QT dependent class used internally by wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage. wkhtmltopdf is able to put several objects into the output file, an object is either a single webpage, a cover webpage or a table of contents. The objects are put into the output document in the order they are specified on the command line, options can be specified on a per object basis or in the global options area.

Open Source Invoice Software Guide

Open source invoice software is a type of software that allows businesses to generate invoices for their customers. This type of software typically uses an open source license, allowing anyone to freely access and modify the code.

Open source invoice software can be used for a variety of tasks, such as generating customer invoices and tracking payments.

Once installed, you will need to configure the software for your business needs. This includes setting up customer records and inserting data related to your services or products such as descriptions, pricing, etc. The configuration process typically requires some trial and error while you learn how to use the features available in the specific invoice software package you have chosen. Once configured correctly for your specific needs, you will be ready to start creating invoices.

When building an invoice, users must include all applicable fields such as purchase date, customer name/address/contact information, item purchased (including any additional details that might be needed), rates charged, payment terms (if applicable), tax amounts due (if relevant) as well as other relevant details. Users can then select whether they want their invoice sent via mail or email it directly from within the application itself. In either case users should always keep a copy of their invoices for record keeping purposes.

Open source invoice software makes managing billing and accounts receivable very easy by providing users with a range of elements they can use in order to streamline their bookkeeping process and ensure accurate accounting practices are followed at all times.
