I have a Document Writer destination with HTML to generate a PDF. I have another channel I wrote a year ago and it works fine. I don't know what the problem is with this one. Narupley available? |

Normally that only happens if the velocity variable you are trying to use is not defined in the maps at all or it is defined and contains a null value. Maybe refer back to the forum post from the last time you were working on this? https://forums.mirthproject.io/forum/mirth-connect/support/177478-html-template-help Your final comment indicates there is likely an issue with your template. |

Seems to work fine for me in a simple use case: Results in a PDF with the word "stuff" in it. Maybe post some code / screenshots? |

LOL. HTML beautified that is a 1253 lines long. I am going to duck a deep dive on that and let someone else answer. |

All you have to do is run it and see that mirth does not plug in the provider_name value. |

Not quite - I trust it does not work as you say so that means diving into your html to figure out what is corrupting the substitution. |

Well, maybe, but it does work, I get a PDF file, but the PDF still shows ${provider_name}. |

RESOLVED: The main bug was that there was a blank space in a few of the velocity variables. (difficult to notice) |
