Stop sending PDF invoice

[duncan12]

I was able to customize the invoice email so that the Order Summary actually made sense :-)

But VM also sends a PDF attachment along with the email. The PDF still contains the screwy Order Summary. So:

a) how do I customize the Order Summary (total, shipping, tax, etc) section of the attached Invoice PDF, or
b) how do I get VM stop sending the PDF?

I thought the pdf invoice uses the html version as input, but I might be wrong. Personally I don't use VM to send invoices. Maybe somebody else can answer case a).
For case b) I think you can simply leave the 'Default Order Status to create an invoice' field in the VM email configuration blank.

To customise the invoice I'd look at overriding components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/invoice_items.php

To nbot send an invoice, in VM3.0.17.2 there is an option of None for Default Order Status to create an invoice  in VM Configuration/Emails

Yes, I thought overriding components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/invoice_items.php would do the trick too, but it doesn't. It only overrides the html email that is sent. The PDF doesn't get changed at all. Odd, yes?

The invoices use those templates. However, the invoice PDFs are cached, so they are not re-generated when you modify the template override... If you remove the PDF invoice file on the server or generate a new order, then the template override should be used.
