Invoice Print using PDF button - turns out the same on email attachment

Are we limited as to how many lines are in a custom field?

i think you should provide html tags for every formatting if you are going to include html tags in the custom field. not 50/50.  
for example, you have used `<b>` and `<u>` and not `<br>` for line breaks.

Makes no difference. Tried it that way but I’m not posting up all the edit screens.  
And you don’t need the \< br \> in the custom field. Have a good look at the text entered…no \< br \>  
If I use \< br \> I get extra lines…

Oh, and the \< b \> and \< u \> are for bold and underscore.

Worked it out.  
It was that I had not closed the \< b \> with \< /b \> but instead used just \< b \>.  
Wierd, it, the inbuilt PDF creator, changed the placement and font?

`<u>` is for underline and not underscore.

also, you may want to hide your bank account details visible on your edit form screenshot.

And yes, it is for underline…
