 * We want to generate a PDF with a unique ID in the file name. In the general settings
   I have set Stagevacature-[reference].pdf is file name, but this is not working.
   The name of the PDF attachment I receive is without the reference code filled
   in (so the name is still Stagevacature-[reference].pdf). In the upload directory
   the file name is Stagevacature-[reference]-5f5f515cc63bd.pdf and the identifier
   is not unique (every PDF gets the same reference number). Can you please let 
   me know why the reference is not working?
    Thanks in advance!
