PDF Generated File does not contain EntryNo

    Hello,

    We have recently upgraded to 4.5.1, and when enabling the PDF file attachment, noticed that the EntryNo is not on the PDF text at all.

    So, we wanted to edit the notification section to include this system generated field.

    However, when we edit the notification text box Email Content, and add the line {entry_no}, the resulting ID only displays in the text of the email, and not in the PDF.

    Is there an easy way to include this information on the PDF file itself, so it can be identified by this EntryNo within the PDF?

    Thanks,

    GG @ VDO

    Hello,

    As an update to this, we found a post here: http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/customize-pdfs?replies=10

    We have edited the database directly to add the EntryNo to the PDF in this manner, by adding "Displaying entry #{entry_no}{entry_data}" into the "esl_pdf_content" field as described.

    This helps with any email that is system generated at the time of submission, but not for re-emailed entries from the Admin panel.

    Is there anything we can do to add the same behavior to the re-emailed entries from the Admin panel?

    Thanks,

    GG @ VDO
