Add the seller and buyer, proposed items, quantities and prices. Set the currency and explain the validity, delivery and payment arrangements in the terms.
Open the PDF preview to check the finished pages, not just the form. Download the file when it is ready, then attach it to your own email or print a copy.

Use the Pocket Invoice app to keep customer, invoice and payment records. This free editor creates a proforma PDF without saving an account document.
