Choose what customers see on an estimate PDF

  1. Open the workspace

    In JobBuddy, go to Open estimate (#/estimates/:id/edit) → document/PDF options and attachments.

  2. Confirm access and starting state

    Saved estimate; appropriate attachment access; customer-safe files; company profile/terms configured.

  3. Complete the main setup

    Review PDF display options, line grouping/layout, estimate options, terms, cover/branding, attachment upload and customer-visible choice, preview/download, email attachments, and why editing a current draft may not change an already issued revision.

  4. Verify the result

    Produce a customer-ready estimate with intentional terms, options, cover, images, and attachments.

    Expected result: Produce a customer-ready estimate with intentional terms, options, cover, images, and attachments.

Troubleshooting

The page, control, or action is unavailable.

Confirm the required access and starting state: Saved estimate; appropriate attachment access; customer-safe files; company profile/terms configured.

The result is incomplete or unexpected.

Editor-only data, line detail, costs, options, terms, cover, attachments, and customer-visible flags do not all render the same way; sent/approved revisions may preserve an earlier snapshot.

The issue remains after checking the record.

Capture the exact visible error, record status, approximate time, and intended result. Give support only the minimum customer-safe evidence needed to trace the problem.
