What i did
di.xml
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<preference for="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Items\Invoice\DefaultInvoice" type="Mycompany\Tax\Model\Order\Pdf\Items\Invoice\DefaultInvoice" />
<preference for="Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice" type="Mycompany\Tax\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice" />
and I copied the functions that i wanted to override of the abstract class in app\code\Mycomany\Tax\Model\Order\Pdf\Invoice.php
like one thing i wanted to change was fonts
/**
* Set font as regular
*
* @param \Zend_Pdf_Page $object
* @param int $size
* @return \Zend_Pdf_Resource_Font
*/
protected function _setFontRegular($object, $size = 7)
{
$font = \Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath(
$this->getFontsDir() . ('dejavu-sans/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf')
);
$object->setFont($font, $size);
return $font;
}
/**
* Set font as bold
*
* @param \Zend_Pdf_Page $object
* @param int $size
* @return \Zend_Pdf_Resource_Font
*/
protected function _setFontBold($object, $size = 6)
{
$font = \Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath(
$this->getFontsDir() . ('dejavu-sans/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf')
);
$object->setFont($font, $size);
return $font;
}
/**
* Set font as italic
*
* @param \Zend_Pdf_Page $object
* @param int $size
* @return \Zend_Pdf_Resource_Font
*/
protected function _setFontItalic($object, $size = 7)
{
$font = \Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath(
$this->getFontsDir() . ('dejavu-sans/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf')
);
$object->setFont($font, $size);
return $font;
}
This is how i modified my Insertorder

My approach was override the class that is using that method rather than abstract class
