Invoice splits into two pages when exported to PDF

When a PDF invoice spills onto a second page with a large blank area, it's almost always caused by the amount of vertical space the content takes up. Here are the most common causes and how to fix each one.

An invoice is legally valid even if it runs to a second page. Validity depends on the tax information it contains — numbering, tax ID, tax amounts — not its physical length.

The logo is too large

A logo with a lot of height pushes the line items and totals down the page, sometimes past the page break.

To reduce the logo's footprint:

  1. Go to your Business data page.
  2. In the Brand section, click Replace your logo.
  3. Upload a resized version of your image with a smaller height.

Too many line items

If your invoice has many line items, the content will naturally exceed a single A4 page. Where possible, consolidate related items into one line with a more descriptive label — for example, replace ten individual hourly entries with a single "Consulting services (10 hours)" line.

Long footer notes

Lengthy legal notes at the bottom of the invoice can push content onto a second page. Shorten the notes text so it fits within the available footer area. If you need the full legal text, consider attaching it as a separate document rather than embedding it in the invoice footer.
