Add-in: New · Print · Update · Email PDF
- Sideload excel-addin.md and sign in.
- Open the forms workbook in Excel.
- Add-in Forms tab:
- New — blank numbered form, optional customer from the dropdown
- Update — fill seller, party, and lines from x0 (
GET /v1/excel/forms-data) - Print — set A4 portrait print area (
A1:G38); then File → Print or Export → PDF - Email PDF — builds an A4 PDF on this Excel machine, uploads it to x0, x0 emails it. Attachment name is
CompanyName_InvoiceNumber.pdf.
What makes the PDF on the Excel machine?
Office.js cannot call Excel’s ExportAsFixedFormat (that is VBA-only). The add-in therefore:
- Reads the active form sheet (including calculated GST totals).
- Draws an A4 PDF locally in the add-in WebView (jsPDF — same NZ stationery layout).
POSTs the PDF to x0 (/v1/excel/email-form-pdf).
You can still use File → Export → PDF in desktop Excel for an Excel-engineered PDF; Email PDF is the one-click path that also sends.
Customer guide: email-forms.md — From: + SMTP, Email PDF button, Sent list (/dashboard/email/ and /dashboard/email/sent/).
Dropdowns on each form: B8 customer/supplier (ContactsList), column A line items (ItemsList).
