Any advice on how to get it to display in the PDF invoice ?")* Hi, The thread you're linking to is about the display of custom item fields on the PDF invoice. The PDF invoice plugin doesn't support yet the display of custom product fields, which is what you want. So it's normal that it doesn't work. Supporting it is a bit tricky as the PDF system requires giving a width for each column and thus it can't be standardized. With the HTML invoice, the table adapts itself to the available area so it's not a problem. We couldn't think yet of a generic way to properly generate invoices with custom product fields. So for now, I can only recommend to customize the file plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoice.php if you want to display the custom product fields there.

So I've added a text snippet in front of the code which says delivery Code: echo "Delivery: "; $class = hikashop_get("class.product"); $data = $class->get($product->product_id); echo $data->deliverytime; Not all my products use the above custom field. So the problem now is that the text "Dilvery" is displaying in the pdf invoice even if the custom field is NOT filled out. So I need to add an "If condition" so that the text "delivery" only displays when the custom field is filled out in the product and displayed in the invoice. Any advice on how to write the if condition in the above code ? tnx Last edit: 9 years 11 months ago by [river](/forum/user/9591-river "View river's Profile").
