    I hit an issue last night where I wanted to put the invoice number being sent out inside the /woocommerce/emails/customer-invoice.php file but the email content is generated before wcpdf is run to generate the invoice number and subsequent pdf attachment.

    Can you setup the plugin to generate the invoice number before WooCommerce generates the email so that the invoice number is available to the email template?

    Hi Dez,
    That’s certainly possible, just make sure that the invoice number is set, by adding this code somewhere at the top of your email template (before the call to display the number):

    <?php
/**
 * Set invoice number for this order
 */
global $wpo_wcpdf;
$wpo_wcpdf->export->set_invoice_number($order->id);
$invoice_number = $wpo_wcpdf->export->get_invoice_number($order->id);
?>

    Have a great day!
