PDF & print
Download an invoice as a PDF or open a print-friendly page and save it from your browser. Where to find each option.
Need a file to send by hand or keep for your records? Every invoice can be downloaded as a PDF or printed from a clean, print-friendly page.

Downloading and printing an invoice is a manager-tier action. (When you send an invoice, the PDF is also attached automatically, and the client's public page has its own Download PDF button.)
Download a PDF
Open the invoice
Open the invoice from the list or its detail page.
Download PDF
Click Download PDF. Hoursmith generates the file (served from /api/invoices/[id]/pdf) and your
browser saves it.
Print the invoice
Open the print page
On the invoice, choose Print to open the print-friendly page at /invoices/[id]/print.
Print or save as PDF
Press Cmd/Ctrl + P, then print, or choose Save as PDF from your browser's print dialog.
The PDF and print page reflect the invoice's snapshot — the bill-to details, lines, and totals frozen when it was generated. They won't change even if you later edit the client.
Tips
- For most cases, Download PDF is the quickest route. Use the print page when you want to print on paper or tweak page settings in your browser.
- Your logo and business details come from Branding & logo and Invoice defaults.
Send an invoice
Email a draft invoice with the PDF attached and a public pay link. Use To, Cc, a message, a live preview, and a test send — or mark it sent silently.
Public links & views
Every sent invoice gets an unguessable public pay page. Copy the link, preview as the client, regenerate it, and see when it's been viewed.
