How to edit PDF address in Magento

When you code in magento, maybe you will have question, how to edit PDF address in Magento.? You can do as following:

Editing PDF in Magento can be restrictive but if you need to edit just an address you can use events.

First set up your observer in config.xml:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<adminhtml>

<events>

<customer_address_format>

<observers>

<inchoo_sales_customer_address_format_observer>

<type>model</type>

<class>inchoo_sales/observer</class>

<method>addAdditionalDataToAddress</method>

</inchoo_sales_customer_address_format_observer>

</observers>

</customer_address_format>

</events>

</adminhtml>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

After obsever is set you need to set in code and edit address templates:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

/**

* Observer printing invoices in PDF

*

*/

class Inchoo_Sales_Model_Observer

{

public function addAdditionalDataToAddress(Varien_Event_Observer $address)

{

$data = $address->getEvent();

if($data->type['code']=="pdf")

{

$customerData = $data["address"]->getOrder()->getData();

$customerId = $customerData['customer_id'];

//we are using customer object because it give us latest user data, if you want data from user on order creation use $customerData

$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customerId);

$customerVariable = $customer->get?????;

//prevent of multiple insertion

if(strpos($data->type['default_format'],"Customer Variable")===false)

{

$stringToInsert = "{{var company}}|{{/depend}}|Customer Variable: ".$customerVariable."|";

$data->type['default_format'] = str_replace("{{var company}}|{{/depend}}",$stringToInsert, $data->type['default_format']);

};

};

}

}

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you use customer from order in PDF you get state from user in order state, if you wont get latest user data you have to use Mage::getModel(‘customer/customer’) object.
Replace ????? with your own data.

We are fetching address template and changing that template.
