PDF template customization

The PDF template can be overridden by copying it from wp-content/plugins/babe-backoffice/templates/mpdf-invoice.php to yourtheme/ba-book-everything/mpdf-invoice.php. Developers can also change the PDF (Mpdf) settings using the apply_filters( 'babe_backoffice_pdf_invoice_mpdf_args', $mpdf_args_array, $order_id ) and apply_filters( 'babe_backoffice_pdf_invoice_default_font', $default_font_name ) hooks.
