* Hi there,
In your FAQ it says there is a way to view an HTML version of the
pdf invoice, but it references a status page. I just have a debug page. I tried
clicking the debug checkbox but when that’s turned on it still generates a pdf.
* If there’s a way to view the PDF as HTML that would be great so I can use the
browser developer tools. I am modifying a template and it would help if I didn’t
have to make a new order every time I change the template to preview the result.
* Thanks for your help.

* Hi [@createscape](https://wordpress.org/support/users/createscape/),
* If you go to **WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Status** you can select the ‘Output
to HTML’ option.
* If I understand correctly you have now selected the ‘Enable debug output’. Please
note that enabling this option is fine when developing, but should be switched
off when you are working on a live site. It will reveal all errors on your site
also on your frontend.

* Hello Kluver,
I don’t have a Status tab on my PDF Invoices settings page. There
is only General, Template, and Debug.
* Thanks

* In that case you’re using a different PDF Invoice plugin. Ours is named WooCommerce
PDF Invoices & Packing Slips (currently version 2.3.5) and has these three settings
tabs (in the free version): General, Documents, Status
