Hello,
All is well with Invoice manager setting up, configuring and using, but I can not get dompdf installed. I get the typical "JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file" as you do when it not suited for this version of Joomla.

I am using Joomla 3.1.5

Thanks,

Markus

    OK, so what now, sorry if I'm asking silly questions, I do understand the last was, but I can't seem to find out how to use PDF's. There doesn't seem to be a way to activate or create PDF's. I have used your Bootstrap template with absolutey no modifications to make sure it's something I haven't done. The Bootstrap removes the nice formatting for emails, but it would be nice to send an email with the a PDF attachment of the invoice. I can't create or download a PDF like you have in the DEMO, because the icon is not there. I followed the instructions of uploading the unzip folder in to the correct directory and have PHP 5+ and magic quotes off. What now?
    Thanks

    Hello

    if the icon is not there: first of all (I don't want to sound redundant, but...)
    are you sure you uploaded the DOMpdf folder to the right location?

    it has to be like this:

    /components/com_invoices/helpers/dompdf/

    can you confirm this? and if it's like this, do you receive any warning messages on the backend telling you something about PDF?

    Yes it's definitely in the correct folder. Within that folder /components/com_invoices/helpers/dompdf is /dompdf and /_macosx

    I have checked system areas in the backend and can't seem to find any errors regarding PDF. Is there a specific area in Joomla backend I should be looking in?

    Cheers

    You are saying that there's a "double" /dompdf folder ?

    there has to be only one.. like this:

    /components/com_invoices/helpers/dompdf/all the files and folders

    NOT like this:

    /components/com_invoices/helpers/dompdf/dompdf/all the files and folders

    OK just to try something out, the dompdf folder that is within the dompdf folder with the _MACOSX folder. I moved that dompdf folder in to the folder specified and it works. This is not what is instructed, may need to be made a little clearer not to just move the extracted main folder to the directory.
