{quote} I am looking for a way to add additional invoice templates without changing to much of the original ofbiz code if possible.

The case: - multiple unrelated companies - multi tenant environment - multiple invoice layouts 
{quote}

 When I have this case on a projet, I use the content system to load the template.

Example : Store a default template for each organization or a template specific by some customer. 
 * Create PartyContentType : INVOICE_TEMPLATE 
 * Load your templates en Content 
 * Associate your content to each organization in ofbiz 
 * if a customer have a specific template associate it

On your InvoicePDF screen resolve the template by a groovy script : {code:java}
 //resolve if customer template is present 
partyContents = delegator.findByAndCache("PartyContent", [partyId : invoice.partyId]) 
if (partyContents) partyContents = EntityUtil.filterByDate(partyContents, invoice.invoiceDate) 
if (partyContents) partyContent = partyContents[0]

if (!partyContent) { //resolve if organization hasa template 
    partyContents = delegator.findByAndCache("PartyContent", [partyId : invoice.partyIdFrom]) 
    if (partyContents) partyContents = EntityUtil.filterByDate(partyContents, invoice.invoiceDate) 
    if (partyContents) partyContent = partyContents[0]
 }
 {code}
 Warn, I wrote the code on the fly, maybe it doesn't contains the absolute true ;)

Now you have a content, you can resolve your flow has you want (ftl injection, content service to renderer string), etc ....
