Hide “invoice #” in the invoice PDF

Question

How can I hide the text "invoice #........" in the invoice PDF document?

Answer 1

You can customize the invoice layout by modifying this file : Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Pdf_Invoice (app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php)

Copy it over on this location to override it.

app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php

and try to comment this line

$page->drawText(Mage::helper('sales')->__('Invoice # ') . $invoice->getIncrementId(), 35, 780, 'UTF-8');
