Here is what I'm working with so far:
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{background}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\backgroundsetup{%
scale=4, %% change accordingly
angle=0, %% change accordingly
opacity=.1, %% change accordingly
color =green, %% change accordingly
contents={\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node at ([yshift=11pt,xshift=5pt]current page.center) {\includegraphics[width=5cm]{example-image-a}};
\end{tikzpicture}}
}
\usepackage{invoice}
\address{\emph{Invoice from:} \\ My Address \\ My Address \\ My Address}
\signature{Elmo Face}
\date{23. May 2009}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{\emph{Invoice to:} \\ Your Address \\ Your Address \\ Your Address}
\opening{Invoice no. 1}
My greeting \footnote{Super important, so don't forget.}
\begin{invoice}{USD}{0}
\ProjectTitle{Example Project}
\Fee{Development} {1000.00} {1}
\end{invoice}
\closing{Invoice Release Authorization}
\end{letter}
\end{document}
I'd like to have the comment box here, but I don't know how to get
stackengine:
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage[usestackEOL]{stackengine}
\edef\tmpbs{\the\baselineskip}
\setstackgap{L}{\tmpbs}
\newlength\tmpwd
\newlength\tmpht
\usepackage{invoice}
\fboxrule=1pt
\let\svaddress\address
\renewcommand\address[2][]{ OPTIONAL ARGUMENT AS [~] FOR EMPTY INVOICE BOX
\ifx\relax#1\relax\svaddress{#2}\else
\def\theaddress{#2}\invoicenote{#1}\fi}
\def\invoicenote#1{
\def\stackalignment{l}
\setbox0=\hbox{\expandafter\Longstack\expandafter{\theaddress}}
\tmpwd=\wd0\relax
\tmpht=\ht0\relax
\def\y{\fboxsep=0pt\fbox{\rule{0pt}{\tmpht}
\stackon[\tmpht-\tmpbs]{\rule{\dimexpr\textwidth-\tmpwd-3cm\relax}{0pt}}
{~\textsf{\strut INVOICE}~~\smash{\Longunderstack{#1}}}}}
\svaddress{\llap{\y\hspace{3cm}}\expandafter\Longstack\expandafter{\theaddress}}
}
ANY OF THESE FORMS WILL WORK:
\address{\emph{Invoice from:} \\ My Address \\ My Address \\ My Address}
\address[~]{\emph{Invoice from:} \\ My Address \\ My Address \\ My Address}
\address[Hi, Joe\\ Here is your order]{\emph{Invoice from:} \\ My Address \\ My Address \\ My Address}
\signature{Piglet Master}
\date{23. May 2009}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{\emph{Invoice to:} \\ Your Address \\ Your Address \\ Your Address}
\opening{Invoice no. 1}
My greeting \footnote{I am a man.}
\begin{invoice}{Euro}{0}
\ProjectTitle{Example Project}
\Fee{Development} {1000.00} {1}
\end{invoice}
\closing{Invoice Release Authorization}
\end{letter}
\end{document}
Starting with what I've got so far---in addition to this comment-boxed version, I'd like to blend it with some of the elements of the following---which I'll explain below the image:

I want the "Thank you for your business." slogan at the very bottom---like 1.5cm above the bottom of the page (centered) and a comment box right above the "Invoice Release Authorization" text that has a width, but dynamic height, that is the same as the lines separating the invoice. Also, I need a big QR code that encodes my invoice number that has an edge length the same length as the line above the footnote.
I'm also having trouble with aligning the watermark. It's not centered, and why is it that whole document seems shifted down so low below the top of the page?
booktabspackage (or look up questions about it), and also reduce unnecessary frames (at the top, and lighten the one for comments). Also, perhaps you should look into a colour chart (don't use too many colours, and pick them so they get along well). Just a subjective view of what I like to see in invoices, so I won't go into the details of answering it because that would be improper. – ienissei Apr 16 '14 at 08:36stackenginepackage is available at http://ctan.org/pkg/stackengine. – Steven B.
