Hey @Hot_Glass, thanks for following up on this, and I do fully understand where you're coming from. The ability to be able to print in A4 size is incredibly important to some businesses, and as you mentioned, especially outside of North America, so I do apologize that this is not exactly where it should be! In full transparency, being a cloud- based software, it is not on our immediate roadmap to optimize this feature, but I can assure you that our Product team is aware of this set back, so never say never.
I noticed early in this thread the OP ( @Mits ) said they are using the contemporary invoice template.
As I noted in the other thread, I'm not terribly upset with paper size margins and look, can manage with it until hopefully rectified sometime.
I'm using classic template, so maybe this is worth trying for some of you, change options and check if better for you.
I'm using your service for 2 days and I'm already annoyed because of the lack of A4 template. PDF invoice are very common here and any format other than the standard A4 is unprofessional.
Hi, I'm going to join the requests for A4 for documents. International software deserves international solutions, and tying the invoicing etc to US Letter is just plain wrong. Surely it can't be difficult, given that the operating system knows what country it's in, to simply pick that up and go with it?
Also just had a message back from a client saying they can't print the invoice from the PDF, but if they copy and paste it into a Word (vomit) document, it will print from there. Prints fine on mine (reduced by a bucketload to fit a proper piece of paper...) shrugs
Hello, Please add the option to download the pdf as A4 settings.
Same problem as well mentioned in the comments above. My customer complained too, couldn't print a nice one, with this US letter settings.
I appreciate you reaching out about this. I apologize for being the bearer of bad news, however there isn't a scheduled update for this coming down the pipeline. Thanks for generating a +1 on this feature.
Hey @AlexL. Sure, under settings > Invoice Customization> General Settings, there are three Template layouts. Which are great and simple to use.
I would like to suggest a forth Layout (Modern design, or either one which is most used), pre-set for international page settings (A4). This will cature for invoices in the intrim but I do know that this would not work for other reports.
@VimalCruz Got it. Thanks for the clarification here.
Just for further clarity, Wave was originally created as an online accounting and invoicing software, and although there may be a need for printing invoices onto hard real-world copies, historically the team hasn't prioritized these requests as they continue to focus on improving enhancements that affect sending invoices online. With this being said, we still do very well value your feedback, and I'd be more than happy to pass this feature idea on to the team, but I do want to be transparent about how these are normally handled.
I've just moved to Wave from another online invoicing organisation who have started to charge a lot for something that was free. Even they had A4 as the standard size for invoices. I have read this thread and wonder why Wave have not responded to their customers? Surely it cannot be that difficult to offer international standard sizes or even date formats? I like what I have seen so far of Wave and will stick with it, but I'm not asking for Foolscap, just A4.
Please?
We totally appreciate you bringing this back up in our community again. As it stands, Wave developers do not intend to adjust the margins on invoices for printing. I understand how helpful this might be for our overseas users, however I can assure you this is something that is unfortunately not on our roadmap.
Although we have the ability to print invoices, we are still a cloud based software, so we likely cannot prioritize these types of changes.
Just wanted to give you some clarity on where Wave stands on this. Thanks again.
I also think that this should be a priority. Your online invoices - where a customer clicks on a link is also in US letter. This is very unprofessional outside the states. A4 is the international solution and should be offered.

There is another thread on A4 paper option added recently . . .
https://community.waveapps.com/discussion/5312/a4-invoice-size
Maybe it should be merged with this one as this thread developed from margin issue to paper size issue.

Hi, could a short term solution be just to at an international template for invoicing?
Hey @VimalCruz . Can you explain what you mean by international template?
