 * Amazing plugin!
 * Is there a way we can override and customise the PDF template, without editing
   the plugin core code?
 * e.g. if this line could look for a file in our theme first, and use that instead
   of your template, that would be awesome.
    require WP_CF7_PDF_DIR . ‘inc/templates/
   cf7-pdf-generation.public.html.php’;
 * The reason we’d want to do this is that most of the header and footer is hard
   coded, and impossible to customise fully through the CMS e.g. css styles, or 
   positioning, or even the page number output which could be improved slightly 
   to show Page 1/5 instead of Page1.
 * Thanks in advance! And awesome plugin 🙂

 * Thanks for using our plugins.

    — We can not make override template because of dynamic
   data are render based on plugin settings.

   coded, and impossible to customise fully through the CMS e.g. css styles, or

 * — You can manage header logo, header text and footer text from admin.
    — We have
   also added pagination option as your need check admin SS: [https://prnt.sc/246lg60](https://prnt.sc/246lg60)
