How to change the more advanced PDF options?
To fully customize the PDF, use below code. This filter gives you full control over the mPDF library. Check the mPDF manual for more info.

echo do_shortcode( '[bewpi-download-invoice title="Download (PDF) Invoice {formatted_invoice_number}" order_id="' . $order->get_id() . '"]' );
For use in WordPress editor use below shortcode. This will only work if you replace "ORDER_ID" with an actual order id.
[bewpi-download-invoice title="Download (PDF) Invoice {formatted_invoice_number}" order_id="ORDER_ID"]

How to use a different template based on some order variable?

* Make sure to create custom templates with the correct names or the templates won't be found.
