PDF attachments
Every emailed invoice includes a PDF attachment automatically.
How attachments work
When you click Save & Send Email, Invoicely:
- Generates the PDF in your browser using jsPDF
- Uploads it to the server as a base64 string
- Server sends the email with the PDF attached
Why client-side PDF?
Faster (no server roundtrip for rendering), and your fonts/colors render exactly as you see them in preview. Server-side PDF generation tends to break custom fonts.
File naming
Default: Invoice-INV-001.pdf (or Quote/CreditNote prefix). The filename uses your invoice number for easy filing.
What if the PDF doesn't generate?
Rare, but if it happens — usually a browser issue. Solutions:
- Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R)
- Try a different browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge all supported)
- Open browser console (F12) → look for red errors → share with support
