This PDF editor and generator I have
0:03
built inside the browser. It has all the
0:05
options if you want to generate a
0:06
billing invoice in PDF. So this is the
0:09
application I have running it on
0:11
localhost 3000. It's developed entirely
0:14
in ReactJS. We have used quite a number
0:16
of third party libraries such as JSPDF,
0:18
HTML to canvas as well React. As you can
0:21
see we are using React and this is
0:23
overall project. Uh the link is given.
0:26
You can directly purchase the source
0:28
code. So once you purchase it, you will
0:29
get the source code from Google Drive
0:31
automatically. So all the components are
0:34
uh basically coded inside JavaScript as
0:36
you can see. So now to run this project,
0:39
it's very simple. You simply go to
0:40
command line, simply type npm run start.
0:43
This will start the local development
0:45
server. And now in the invoice, you can
0:48
basically put
0:51
the name, email address, everything.
0:57
You can put any address here. Billing
0:59
from,
1:03
you can add items here. The description,
1:06
you can add any currency here. All the
1:09
currencies are supported in the
1:10
drop-down. You can select your currency.
1:12
You can also add multiple items. As you
1:15
change the rate, the total will update
1:17
or accordingly. You can change the
1:20
pricing as well. So, automatically
1:22
total, subtotal, discount, text,
1:24
everything is calculated. You can even
1:26
put a tax rate as well. Let's suppose 2%
1:29
of tax rate, 5% of discount. So
1:32
everything is calculated accordingly.
1:34
Now if you click review invoice, you do
1:37
need to provide a date of the invoice.
1:42
And now in this model like structure,
1:44
you will preview the changes. Now if
1:47
you're happy, you can click on download.
1:50

1:52
PDF file. So now if you open the PDF
1:54
file you can see all the changes is

1:58
number, address, everything, email
