    Dear ZealousWeb, I’d like to start of by thanking you for a great plugin, it has been working flawlessly for me for some time now.

    But there is however something I’d like help with, because at the moment I have the current PDF File Name Prefix “TRKH_[date]_[your-subject]” which works without any problem, but it’s the random generated numbers put at the end of each file that I’d like to get rid off.

    Heres an example of a PDF name that has been generated “TRKH27 November 2023Tester det vi det1701120945051_823780741.pdf”

    For my wordpress instance, the chances of someone sending in a form with the same subject on the same day are lower then me winning three lottery jackpots in a row

    Thank you

    The best feeling is when you can answer your own question!

    In the file “class.cf7-pdf-generation.front.action.php” on line 317 there is the following

    $pdf_file_name=$cf7_pdf_filename_prefix.''.$current_time.'.pdf';

    And my simply removing ‘-‘.$current_time. the random numbers were gone from the PDF file names.

    If this isn’t the best way to solve it, or you have any other feedback I’d be more then happy to hear it!
