Notes to extend between pages
-
Within the plugin, I go in to EDIT an Order.
In there you have a section called “PDF document data” which allows one to edit the Invoice information as well as a field called “Notes (Printed in the invoice):”.Within that Notes field, I enter custom information including:
– care instructions
– warranty information
– etc…That information could run several paragraphs!
It seems that if that field runs several paragraphs, printing the invoice moves the entire section to PAGE 2 of the PDF leaving Page 1 with just basic invoice and order information and the second half of the first page BLANK. Why not allow the NOTES print in the first page and if there are a lot of notes, have it spill onto the second page?
How do I make that happen?

Hello @wexler,
Thanks for sharing the screenshots.
This is happening because your order notes are very longer and them are inside the same row that the total amounts.
Is this text always the same?
If so, you could use the Static files feature included in the Professional extension that allows you to include up to three static files to the email notification:
This feature is ideal for attaching terms and conditions, contracts or warranty conditions.
Hello @wexler,
I wanted to give you one last advice, which might help you improve the way you add that info to your invoices.
Although the invoice notes field is very useful to add extra info, this appears not to be the best option for your case.
You could instead add a group of separate custom fields to your orders using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. This will allows you to control those fields in order to show them in other places of the invoice, outside the item table (that is producing the behavior you don’t like)
For your specific case, this setup should be to do the work:
Then, you will see this field group in your single order editing view:
This info can be added to the invoice through the customizer, included in the Premium Templates extension, using custom blocks like this:
You can also force to display those blocks in a new page (page break) adding this line in a custom block at top:
And with an extra CSS rule…
…your invoices will look like this:
Hope this helps you to improve even more your store! ??
Kind regards.
