After installing patch 1, billers reported a change in the downloaded patient PDF invoices which rendered them 3 pages long. Previously only 1 page but now are being split unnecessarily into 2 pages with a blank third page added to the end.
Investigation of the Admin>Configuration>Billing settings revealed the “Use Custom Statement” box was checked and the corresponding drop-down set to “Modern/images”
According to the context help (shown upon hover) Unchecking the “Use Custom Statement” box only toggles display of either the service codes or their descriptions. This is true unless you have customized the statements.inc.php file.
Setting the drop-down to “Plain Text” Creates a proper single page text only PDF.
Also the text sections for accepted credit cards on lines 203, 6654 and 955 should be edited to reflect which cards are accepted by your organization.
