Proforma invoice PDF — how it works

A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill you send before the final tax invoice. It shows expected line items, prices, and terms so the buyer can approve scope or arrange payment — without treating it as the final accounting document.

Use a proforma when you need a formal quote-style PDF for customs, advance payment, or client approval. When work is complete, issue a final invoice (or GST invoice) with the same totals where appropriate.

Billvale’s free proforma generator mirrors a professional invoice layout so buyers recognize the document, while you keep control of numbering and notes that mark it as provisional.

Who it's for

  • Exporters who need a provisional value document before shipping
  • Freelancers collecting deposits before starting work
  • Agencies that send a formal preview of fees for client sign-off

How to use this tool

  1. Label the document clearly as a proforma invoice in the title or notes.
  2. Add seller and buyer details plus provisional line items.
  3. Include currency, tax estimate if relevant, and payment or deposit instructions.
  4. Download the PDF and share it for approval or advance payment.
  5. Later, create a final invoice when goods or services are delivered.

Field guide

What to include

  • Seller and buyer names and addresses
  • Provisional line items with quantities and rates
  • Currency, estimated tax, and validity or deposit notes

Mistakes to avoid

  • Using a proforma as if it were a final tax invoice for your books
  • Omitting “proforma” language so the buyer confuses it with a final bill
  • Changing prices later without issuing an updated proforma or quote
