    But when its received its just a string of numbers.

    Hi personsservices,

    Thanks for getting back to us. I have reviewed your form Notification email and currently, the PDF Document on your form PDF Editor page is not selected as shown in the screenshot.

    This means that every time a Notification email is sent out, the default PDF Document generated by the system is used instead of the existing PDF Document on the PDF Editor page. Here is the result when I selected the PDF Document.

    Here's how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen, click on Settings.

    2. Click on Integrations on the left side of the screen.

    3. Hover your cursor over the Notification email and click on the Pencil icon.

    4. Go to Advanced.
