To bulk view or download invoices in PDF Invoices & Packing Slips Generator for WooCommerce, go to WPFactory > PDF Invoicing, open Doc: Invoice, and select View PDFs, Download PDFs, or both in the Bulk actions option. Then tick orders in WooCommerce > Orders, choose the action from the Bulk actions menu, and click Apply to get one merged PDF.
Enable the bulk actions #
- Go to WPFactory > PDF Invoicing (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > PDF Invoicing) and open the Doc: Invoice section.
- In the Bulk actions option (
order_bulk_actions), select View PDFs, Download PDFs, or both. Only Download PDFs is enabled by default. - Save changes.
Run a bulk action #
- Go to WooCommerce > Orders.
- Tick the orders you want.
- In the Bulk actions menu choose, for example, Download PDFs: Invoice, then click Apply.
The plugin merges the selected orders’ documents into one PDF. View PDFs opens it in the browser; Download PDFs saves it as a file. Orders with no created document for that type are skipped.
Open View PDFs in a new tab #
If you prefer View PDFs to open in a separate tab, enable View PDFs in a new tab (alg_wc_pdf_invoicing_view_pdfs_new_tab) in the General section. It is off by default. See General Settings Configuration.
Note: the merged file is produced on the fly and named docs.pdf. Only orders that already have the document created are included, so create them first (manually or via a trigger).
Use cases #
- Print a day’s invoices in one pass before the courier arrives.
- Download a batch of invoices for your accountant at month end.
