Preparing a PDF File to Upload as a Receipt Template

Although you can use any appropriate software to create the content (text blocks, fields, and so on) for the receipt, you must enter the label for each field, insert the appropriate form input, and then enter the name of the form input. For example, to render the Transaction Amount in the receipt template, create a label called Transaction Amount, insert a form input following the label, and name it value_transacted.

You can embed the following form input fields in a PDF receipt template:

Note: If you use Adobe Acrobat for creating or modifying your PDF form template, follow their suggested best practices for compressing and optimizing the document using their PDF Optimizer feature to guide you through the necessary steps. To use bar codes on your receipt, refer to the solutions for inserting barcodes on paper forms from Adobe.

An important point to keep in mind when designing and preparing the template is that you cannot edit the template layout, stationery, static text, or images from the Receipt Manager. You must make all edits and additions in the original source file and upload the modified file.
