| Here is a fun little AIR application that I made to create fake receipts. Actually I use it to create receipts when I lose the originals. Our new expense system allows us to submit JPEGs of our receipts online. Lots of times I lose small receipts for things like meals or coffee so this does the trick nicely. You simply edit the dynamic text fields and then click Export JPEG to save it to the desktop.
This application could be taken a lot further so feel free to grab the source files and use it as the base for something bigger. |

Hahaha! Nice one Lee! I can see the headlines tomorrow:
“ADOBE PLATFORM EVANGELIST IN FIERCE BATTLE OVER RECEIPTS WITH MCDONALDS”
You have some crazy ideas dude. I always enjoy your blog. And you post often!! No more stale RSS feeds like most other development blogs.
Keep well.
I can see a few people getting in trouble with the taxman
Haha this sounds like it could come in handy!
Thanks for the source, Lee!
Hahahhaha you are a cheater Lee !!!
Nice Appli !
Thanks
JP
Hi Lee,
wouldn’t making fake bills be considered illegal?
You might want to add, that this method is only valid in USA.
Nice app by the way
So your bosses read your blog?
what about adding a feature for listing wine … It often happens to drink a good wine but forget the name, brand and year.
Cool mate!!
see you at MAX
ciao
thanks Lee
Smart choice going with 2 large fries and the big mac. I do love those McDonald’s fries. Lee, I hope you don’t get fired from Adobe for submitting fake expense reports.
Give me 5 minutes to send a note to hr@adobe.com
Very useful app BTW… The best Gangsta AIR app ever.
You never cease to amaze me. That is a pretty cool idea. It’s funny, I just returned from Florida and I had the same issue. All of the tolls and stuff I could get reimbursed for are either missing or crumbled up. This is very practical actually. Nice job.
good zod this is perfect. it even looks better than my photoshop template I had made for this exact purpose. thanks, lee.
Just like chris, I had a Photoshop template set up for this purpose. I’ll have to alter the code for £ not $, but it’s a great little utility that I’ll do my best to have some fun with.
lol!! you should include this in the AIR Showcase. with a note underneath (Use this at your own risk!!)
Nice idea, the font’s not embedded here within the FLA.
it fits very well next to the FMS icon
I believe if I was creating fake receipts, even if they were replacement receipts, I would want to keep that secret.
interesting idea. Technology seems to have no limits to what it can do.
The accounting gotta love you
I have been looking to harness the same functionality of exporting a JPEG using PHP/C# but this seems to be much for efficient!
Lee you are an inspiration! And a life saver may I add!
Cool little app Lee. I’d just like to point out that when I view this post at home using Flash Player 10 the AIR install badge just says ‘Loadin…’ and never achieves the ‘Install’ state. At work with Flash 9 it works fine.
Good stuff…just lacks foreign currency signs!
we’ve been making quality fake receipts for customers for a while via our website http://www.falseexpense.com – it’s not illegal to make them – some uses may be illegal – see our website for more details
This app is pretty cool. I couldn’t get the Export JPEG to work.
Nice app but it won’t export Jpeg??
jpeg export does work, click on export jpeg button and then search for pic on your desktop.
Great work. Was a wonderful way for me to make the receipts I have lost to get reimbursed for travel expenses. Works fine for me..
Hi. I am from Belarus, we have no such service, and I think that it will not. It is simply not quite legitimate, I think. Check – this document, at least in our country. The idea of simply wonderful. Cool. (With English translation problems in the Google translator sorry)
thx
“Actually I use it to create receipts when I lose the originals.”… Yeah… sure…
