PDF Invoice draw line between items

Question

I would like to have a line between each item purchased on the PDF invoice.

I went to Mage>Sales>Model>Order>Pdf>Items>Invoice>Default.php, made a local copy to not change the core items and added the following line after draw Tax:

/* Separator Line */
$page->setLineColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
$page->setLineWidth(0.5);
$page->drawLine(380, 30, 380, 40);

But it doesn't show up. Can someone let me know how the best way to do this. Would be great, thanks

Answer 1

The code is right, below code works for me

$page->setLineColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0)); //black
$page->setLineWidth(0.5);
$page->drawLine(10, 100, 600, 100);

I think you put it in wrong position. Try to put it in different line/file, before or after, to see if it is printed.

Answer 2

Your code is drawing a small vertical line towards the bottom of the page.

Here's one way to add the lines between each item line in Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php:

In getPDF() after $this->_drawItem($item, $page, $order); add:

$page->setLineColor(new Zend_Pdf_Color_GrayScale(0.5));
$page->setLineWidth(0.5);
$page->drawLine(25, $this->y+12.5, 570, $this->y+12.5);
