Sometimes, you may need to print documents not on blank paper, but on pre-printed strict forms.
These forms already have all the headings, the table section is limited to a specific number of lines, the footer must always be at the same height, and individual fields must fit right into their designated boxes.
Configuring such a form in the built-in print form designer can be challenging and may require creating your own Extension or order the Customization.

We have prepared an example of such an extension. Take it and do your Strict Print Form from it.
Use the existing layout with a printed form and the document module as a reference when building your own forms.

Please note: Before you start working on an extension, it is highly recommended to watch these videos and read articles.
- AccountingSuite customization – About ACS customization in general
- 1C:Enterprise. First Step (video guides) – Getting started guide series
- 1C Development Basics. Junior Course (video guides) – More detailed course about development
- Flexible print form editing – Video tutorial about built-in print form designer (you don’t need to code to use it)
Especially the “1C:Enterprise. First Step ” and “Junior Course”, as creating your own extension will require writing code and using the Configurator.
Strict Print Form Template 2 #
This example presents a print form for a Sales Invoice document. This print form has a strict structure, limited to five lines per document. This constraint ensures the footer always remains in a fixed position, making it possible to precisely align the form with a specific pre-printed template or layout.
The following fields are included in this print form:
Customer Details
- Customer Name
- Customer Address
- Customer TRN
Invoice Information
- Invoice Number
- Invoice Date
- Due Date
- Reference / Sales Order No.
- Terms
- Responsible Person
Item & Tax Details
- Item Code
- Serial Number
- Lot
- Description of Goods / Services
- Quantity
- Unit Price
- Taxable Amount
- VAT Rate
- VAT Amount
- Line Total (with and without VAT)
- Discount
- UOM
Invoice Totals
- Total VAT
- Total without VAT
- Total Discount
- Grand Total
- Grand Total Amount In Words
- Internal Memo
By using this example as a basis, you can also adapt it to handle other taxes (such as WHT, Excise, or Levy) and, with sufficient knowledge of the 1C language and the ACS system, display any other required fields.
