Need to add extra information to PDF file generated by Download Review Form Function

Software Support

Dear @rcgillis ,

Describe the issue or problem
For the annual evaluations conducted by TR Index (for the inclusion of the Journals), uploading the peer-review process of selected articles is mandatory and critical. Review forms are an important part of this. Before OJS 3.5, I used to prepare these by taking screenshots or copying the HTML code.

Please tell us what happens and what you expected to happen.

Now, the download function for the peer-review forms is fantastic, and I thank you for it. I would like to add the reviewer’s affiliation and ORCID ID information to the PDF form generated by “Editor Form Shows All Review Sections (PDF)” button, as shown in the image (instead of adding manually). Can you help me determine which file(s) I should modify?

What application are you using?
For example, OJS 3.5.0-1

HI @drugurkocak,

Thank you for your post. I’m not sure about how to best go customizing OJS in this manner, but I’ve flagged this for our team, and others from the community may also wish to comment.

Hi @drugurkocak,

Making this change will require some coding, though not especially complex. The PDF is generated here in the lib/pkp/api/v1/reviews/PKPReviewController.php file:
