How to Create a PDF Purchase Order

Create the order in Docelf first. Once the details are correct, download the PDF as the finished copy for your vendor and your records.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1. Add Your Business: Enter your business name, address, and contact details.
2. Add Your Logo: Add your business logo if you use one.
3. Choose the Vendor: Select a saved vendor or enter new vendor details.
4. Number and Date: Check the PO number and enter the order date.
5. List the Items: Add each product or service with its quantity and unit price. Give charged shipping its own item row.
6. Check the Total: Check tax, any discount, and the final total.
7. Notes and Download: Add the ship-to address. Put the requested delivery date and order instructions in Notes. Download the PDF, print it, or choose to email the order from Docelf.

Keep an Editable Order and a Finished PDF

The order in Docelf is where you make changes. The downloaded PDF is a separate copy to email, print, or keep with your purchase records. Editing the order later does not update a PDF you already downloaded.

Add your logo, colors, and fonts before exporting. If you need company or vendor signatures, add those fields to the purchase order and use your usual signing process for the finished copy.

Why Send a Purchase Order as a PDF?

A PDF keeps the order in a fixed layout. It is useful when you need a vendor copy, a signature, or a record of exactly what you sent.

PDF, Editable, Word, or Online?

Use PDF for the finished vendor copy. If you need a separate file to edit, choose Word or browse the editable options. You can also keep working on the order in the online editor and download a new PDF when it is ready.

Check the Purchase Order Before You Export It

Review the order details first, then open the downloaded PDF once before sending it. This catches an old address or a cut-off line while you can still correct the source.

• Confirm the vendor's name and email address, your business details, and the PO number and date.
• Check item descriptions, pack sizes or units, quantities, prices, applicable tax, and the order total.
• Put any separately charged shipping in the item table. Check the ship-to address and requested delivery date.
• Use Notes for delivery instructions, agreed payment terms, and a project reference when relevant.
• Check every PDF page: long descriptions, totals, Notes, and any signature fields should be readable.

Keep supporting files with the order when they help explain the purchase. In Docelf, you can attach PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG, or WebP files up to 5 MB each; recipients can download them with the document.

Send a Corrected Copy When the Order Changes

If you change a quantity, price, or delivery instruction after exporting, edit the purchase order in Docelf and download a fresh PDF. Keep the copy you sent, and tell the vendor what changed when you send the replacement.

A filename such as PO-1042-Vendor-Revised.pdf makes a corrected copy easier to recognize. Ask the vendor to use the current version so an earlier attachment does not become the order they fill.
