So I don't understand how you can have a right invoice number in the emails and have a wrong one in the invoice pdf. When did you download the PDF invoice plugin ?

I am not for sure why its not showing it with the 5 digits in the PDF. In Hikashop Configuration i setup the order and invoice code like i showed below. When i opened the PDF it showed it like it shows in the attach picture in previous post. I did how ever do a test where in the configuration i put WI0{date format="my"}-{order_id} instead of {order_id size="5"} for the invoice code. This will generate the invoice PDF correctly but will only show the invoice number like 24 instead of 00024.

In the mean time you need to modify the code of HikaShop to be able to do that: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/orders-management...e-number-format.html](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/orders-management/871966-order-id-tag-in-invoice-number-format.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzg3MjkxNC1jdXN0b20taW52b2ljZS1udW1iZXItd2l0aC1wZGYtcGx1Z2luP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[rkuiper](/forum/user/28454-rkuiper "View rkuiper's Profile")** - [![rkuiper's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/gallery/vacation.jpg)](/forum/user/28454-rkuiper "View rkuiper's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/28454-rkuiper) Less More - Posts: 79 - Thank you received: 2 - - 12 years 13 hours ago [\#179322](#179322) by [rkuiper](/forum/user/28454-rkuiper "View rkuiper's Profile") Replied by *[rkuiper](/forum/user/28454-rkuiper "View rkuiper's Profile")* on topic *[Custom Invoice number with pdf plugin](/forum/4-how-to/872914-custom-invoice-number-with-pdf-plugin#179322 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.4 -- Joomla version -- : 2.5.18 Hi, I have a problem with the pdf plugin which attaches the invoice in pdf to the order email.
