Using Custom PDF Templates for Custom Transaction Forms

The Japan Localization SuiteApp provides custom PDF templates that you can select on custom transaction forms. Templates are available for custom transaction forms of invoices, sales orders, purchase orders, and journals. A template gets relevant details from custom fields that you can specify on Japan subsidiary records or the Company Information page. These fields for Custom Advanced PDF Template let you specify the document title and a greeting on transactions, the company seal, and bank account information. The templates also source or get information from certain fields on sales orders, purchase orders and invoices. These details will be included in the PDF printout of the custom transaction forms that use the PDF template.

Note:

In using custom PDF templates from the SuiteApp, consider these:

  • You must initially load the default values of the new Custom Advanced PDF Template fields. To do this, you must edit the Japan subsidiary record, with OneWorld, or the Company Information page, without OneWorld, and then save it even without making any changes. After saving, you can proceed with entering new values in the Custom Advanced PDF Template fields. You must do this only .

  • Some Japanese characters aren't displayed correctly with only NetSuite's default font packages, because Japanese characters are part of the Adobe original font set. To display Japanese characters correctly and consistently, you can set custom templates to use the Adobe font set, which requires a license from Adobe.
