PDF design ​

Make your invoice, quote and reminder PDFs match your brand. Two settings pages control the look, and one style applies to all your documents.

  • Logo en kleur (logo and colour): your logo and brand colour, the basis of everything.
  • Factuurontwerp (invoice design): the design studio where you style the document itself, with a live preview.

Both live under Instellingen (Settings). See the settings overview for the full map.

Logo en kleur ​

Go to Instellingen and open Logo en kleur. This page sets your brand identity:

  • Display name: the name customers see, if it differs from your registered company name.
  • Brand colour: pick any colour, or start from one of the presets. This colour is used on your invoices, quotes, emails and website. A warning appears when a colour is too light to stay readable.
  • Logo: upload a PNG, JPG or SVG. For photo-style logos there is a one-click background remover. No logo yet? Generate a simple one from your initials and a background colour, right on this page.
  • Live preview: a sample header shows your logo and colour together, so you see the result before it reaches a customer.

Changes save automatically.

Factuurontwerp ​

Go to Instellingen and open Factuurontwerp. This is the design studio for your documents: every control on the left, a live A4 preview on the right that updates as you click.

The quickest route is the Genereer uit mijn huisstijl (generate from my brand) button: it builds a complete design around the brand colour you chose under Logo en kleur. Not happy? Probeer andere (try another) cycles through different looks. Everything stays editable afterwards:

  • Startpunt (starting point): six style presets: Klassiek, Modern, Botanisch, Atelier, Editorial and Blanco. Changing any option afterwards turns the design into your own custom variant.
  • Accentkleur (accent colour): your brand colour is offered first. When you have a logo, colours sampled from it appear as ready-made swatches. There is also a set of curated shades, and a custom picker for any colour.
  • Papiertint (paper tint): white or one of the soft off-white tones (Crème, Greige, Zand, Mist).
  • Lettertype (typography): a heading font (Marcellus, Playfair Display, Fraunces or Cormorant) and a text font (Inter, Lato or EB Garamond).
  • Thema / indeling (theme and layout): the overall arrangement of the document, plus the density (Compact, Normaal, Ruim). The Botanisch layout has optional decorative artwork you can switch off.
  • Voettekst (footer text): the line at the bottom of every document, for example your KVK number or a thank-you note.

Changes save automatically and show in the preview within a moment. Want the standard look back? Thema uitschakelen returns your documents to the default design.

One style for all documents ​

The design applies to every PDF MyCompanyDesk creates for you: invoices, quotes and payment reminders. You style it once; every document type stays consistent.

Language ​

Document PDFs are available in Dutch, English, German and French. Documents from a Dutch workspace are produced in Dutch by default, so the labels on your invoices (like "Factuur" and "Vervaldatum") match what your customers expect.

Logo tips ​

For the best result on PDFs:

  • Format: PNG with a transparent background works best; JPG and SVG are also accepted
  • Resolution: at least 300 pixels wide
  • Shape: landscape or square logos fit the layouts best

INFO

Invoice design and style presets are included from the Starter plan.
