I created a template in OpenOffice and then use Perl's PDF:API2 to
write on top of it.
http://search.cpan.org/~ssimms/PDF-API2-2.021/lib/PDF/API2.pm
There might be a better Perl module now and if starting again I
might use them without the template step. My invoices come out quite
large and I think this may be due to the template PDF being imported
as an image rather than as the PDF commands that make it up.
There are many similar modules for other languages.
Cheers,
Andy
