How to

Create a folder called "C:/temp" on your Intact iQ server (assuming that the C drive is where Intact iQ is installed).
Set the default temporary file path to "C:/temp" in Company Settings.
Save your changes.
Restart the web services so that the default temporary file path can be applied to them.
Open Management Interface, and click Clear Cache, located in the top right of the screen. This clears the cache.

Once the web services have come back online, original Intact invoices is displayed under Statements in WebShop for each customer.

Once the web services have come back online, original Intact invoices are displayed under Finance in WebShop for each customer.

Click View to the right of the invoice your customer wishes to download, and a PDF version of the invoice is displayed and available for download.

Using this feature, your customers can see the same level of detail on both the invoices they see on their WebShop dashboard, and the invoices issued to them directly from Intact.
In some cases, the styling of the downloaded invoices may be different to the invoices issued directly from Intact. Contact Intact Support for help with this, since it is caused by how the template is applied.
