Sub totals - Multi page invoices
« on: January 16, 2011, 08:00:35 pm »
I am wondering how to get the subtotals to appear on each page of a multipage invoice. Any ideas?

We do not do subtotals on any pages and will not do so.  That would not be a good idea to have any sub-totals, because knowing that you would have clients who would read the first "total" on a page and then send you a payment, for a fraction of the whole invoice, that would be a huge problem.

So...how do I remove the subtotal heading that appears on the bottom of each page? Thanks for your help.

We don't do that right now.  In order to keep the generation time to a minimum (and work with the small amount of memory that Apple allows), we generate the Invoice on-the-fly.  So we do not know, in advance, how many pages it's going to be and don't want to generate reports that look odd.  We have been pondering a way to be able to remove the bottom section on all but the last page, but the issue is that we do not want a scenario where you have two full pages and then a third blank page with only the totals on the bottom.  The current generation of invoice is like if you had pre-printed invoices and fill them up as you print.  Then when you hit the last page, fill in the totals.  That keeps things simple and as fast as possible.  We always like to think on ideas like this and see what we can do and if we get that "ahh ha" moment on this (both logically and programming wise), it will get added to a future version.  Hope all that makes sense.
