Hi Specex,
Yes this is possible. Please add the following to your functions.php:
add_action('woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number');
function wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number ( $order_id ) {
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$invoice = wcpdf_get_document( 'invoice', $order, true );
}
If you have never worked with code snippets or functions.php pleas read this first: How to use filters
I hope this answers your question!
With kind regards,
Michael

Thanks for quick reply.
The above code trigger a blank screen after i click the Complete order button. After refresh the order page again the order went to completed but no PDF generated. Perhaps is caused by old version plugin?
I’m using
WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips 1.5.37
WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips Professional 1.4.2
Woocommerce 2.6.4
Thanks in advance

Hi! That code is for WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips 2.0 or higher, so that explains why this didn’t work for you. Unfortunately we do not have such a function for 1.5.
Hi there!
Sorry to open this thread again. I was wondering, how I use the Class object returned from wcpdf_get_document.
In my case, I need to trigger the PDF generation if my conditional is met. So if vat number is filled in in Checkout, I want to add the PDF attachment to the customer order mail.
The steps where I need some help are in the code comments below. Could you please help me on this?
Anyhow, loving the plugin tho 🙂
function xyz_checkout_fields_validation($order_id){
if(isset($_POST['vat_number'])){
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$invoice = wcpdf_get_document( 'invoice', $order, true );
// $pdf = generatePDF($invoice)
// add $pdf as attachment
}
}

Hi! This function is just for generating the PDF, to handle attachments you need to approach it differently, as you can’t shoot the file out into the wild to attach it to an email 🙂
The easiest way to do this is to enable the PDF attachment in the settings and then use the wpo_wcpdf_custom_attachment_condition filter to disable it for orders that don’t have a vat number (note that you have to query the order for this as the email will not always be sent out at the same time the checkout is processed).
This thread should get you started: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/choose-whether-to-send-the-invoice/
Hope that helps!
