Paid Memberships Pro – PDF Invoices version 1.9 has just been released. We’re pleased to announce some great changes that were made to queue-up future updates. More features will be coming soon in the near future.
Noteworthy Changes
Automatically Update PDF Content when an order changes.
This has been a common request amongst our customers and it make sense. If you update or edit an order from the WordPress dashboard area, this will update the PDF invoice for this order. This means that you can adjust the amounts, order status or any other information on the order and it will be updated.
Admins can bulk download all invoices.
There is now an option inside the PMPro PDF Invoices dashboard settings page to download all generated invoices as a .zip and automatically remove the .zip file when it’s been downloaded by the admin.
Add Invoices to admin confirmation emails.
Another popular feature request to attach the PDF invoice to admin checkout confirmation emails is now here! You may enable this by selecting the checkbox under “Settings”.
