[GNC] Invoice Header Logo Image Size

[Robert Heller]

As has been pointed out in another post.  GnuCash's formatting facilities are 
limited to a few standard things. In my case, I needed to add a second image 
elsewhere in the invoice -- GnuCash only allows for a header/logo and as you 
have discovered, even that is limited.

Using an outside program like LaTeX allows far greater options in formatting 
Invoices.  Invoice formatting is always going to be something that GnuCash is 
never going to be able to satisfy every user -- often Invoice formatting is 
something that will be "unique" to every business and many business will have 
have partitular needs that GnuCash is just not going to satisify.

Fortunately, GnuCash does have a scripting API just for this sort of 
situation.  My script just uses the Python API to access the GnuCash data file 
and generates a LaTeX source file and then runs pdflatex to create a PDF.
