Print-Ready vs Digital Invoice

JobsPaid generates invoices in two formats: a digital version (web page and link) and a print-ready PDF. Here is what each is and when to use them.

Digital Invoice (Web Page)

The digital invoice lives at a URL like jobspaid.ai/i/your-invoice-slug. It is:

• Interactive — customers can tap "Pay Now" to pay online
• Mobile-optimized — looks great on any screen size
• Shareable — just send the link via any app
• Always up-to-date — if you edit the invoice, the page updates

Best for: Sending to customers via WhatsApp, SMS, or email. Most customers in 2025 prefer this format.

Print-Ready PDF

The PDF version is a static document formatted for printing on standard paper (letter or A4). It is:

• Fixed layout — looks identical on every printer
• Downloadable — saved as a file to your device
• Printable — perfect for customers who want a paper copy
• Professional — branded with your logo, license number, and business info

Best for: Commercial clients who require printed invoices, customers who prefer paper, situations where you need to leave a physical document on-site.

How to Get the Print-Ready PDF

1. Open the invoice
2. Tap Download PDF
3. Print from your device

Margins and Print Settings

The PDF is formatted with standard margins for letter-size paper (8.5" × 11"). When printing, select "Fit to page" or "No scaling" for the best result. Browser print headers and footers are automatically removed.

Receipt PDF

After a customer pays, a receipt PDF is also available. It is the same as the invoice PDF but includes a green PAID stamp with the payment date and method.
