How is Inkscape used for invoicing? You cretate the invoice as vector graphic template and just replace the text?
I don't ever do any invoicing myself, so I am not clear on the requirements here. But a template in LibreOffice Draw could perhaps work for this purpose? There might be some way to programtically replace the fields, and if you store client and project details in a database it should eventually be a matter of choosing which client to bill for which project and click "Go!". I would aim for such a self-made setup to be independent on any license-ridden software. But again, I don't do this, so I might have missed some important part of the puzzle.
Yeah, I don't know. I know that there are softwares specific for invoicing but I've never used one, nor did I use to send too many invoices. Most of the time I was an employee, doing some other freelances, so it wasn't too much to keep track.
I used Inkscape because I was more used to it, working with graphics most of my life. LibreOffice is probably easier. But I don't know how that's supposed to be done with proprietary softwares either.
Hopefully someone with more experience on this can help him.
