Need a stack of PDF files to test your code? Use this Invoice Generator Script to create unlimited dummy pdf files.

This Python utility script generates professional invoices in PDF format using the fpdf library. Each invoice includes metadata such as invoice number, date, balance due, and a detailed table of line items. Here’s how you can customize the script to control the number of invoices generated and adjust the invoice numbering.

How to Use and Customize

Controlling the Number of Invoices Created

The script generates a default of 20 invoices. You can control this number by modifying the random.choices call in the following line:

for i, business in enumerate(random.choices(businesses, k=20), start=1):

Steps to Adjust:

Change the value of k in random.choices(businesses, k=20) to your desired number of invoices.

For example, to generate 10 invoices:

for i, business in enumerate(random.choices(businesses, k=10), start=1):

For 50 invoices:

for i, business in enumerate(random.choices(businesses, k=50), start=1):

Save and run the script. The specified number of invoices will be created in the invoices directory.

Changing the Invoice Numbering

Invoice numbers are dynamically generated as random 9-digit numbers in this line:

pdf.cell(50, 8, f"Invoice #: {random.randint(100000000, 999999999)}", ln=True, align='L')

Steps to Customize Invoice Numbers:

Replace the random.randint function with a sequential or fixed pattern.

Example 1: Sequential Invoice Numbers

To use sequential invoice numbers:

pdf.cell(50, 8, f"Invoice #: {index:09d}", ln=True, align='L')

This will generate sequential invoice numbers like 000000001, 000000002, etc., based on the index.

Example 2: Prefix with Custom Text

To add a prefix like “INV-” to the invoice numbers:

pdf.cell(50, 8, f"Invoice #: INV-{index:06d}", ln=True, align='L')

This will generate invoice numbers like INV-000001, INV-000002, and so on.

Example 3: Fixed Invoice Numbers

For fixed invoice numbers (e.g., for testing purposes):

pdf.cell(50, 8, "Invoice #: INV-2023001", ln=True, align='L')

Additional Customizations:

Modify Line Items for Variety:

Add or remove items in the line_items list to tailor the services or products included in the invoices.

Control Large Invoices:

By default, 20% of invoices include 25–40 line items. You can adjust this probability or the range:

if random.random() < 0.2:  # Probability of large invoices
    num_items = random.randint(25, 40)
else:
    num_items = random.randint(3, 10)

To make all invoices large, set the condition to always True:

num_items = random.randint(25, 40)

Output Folder:

The invoices are saved in the invoices directory. Change this path as needed:
