 * I just ran the job to Print Invoices and Print Packing slips and they only include
   the SKU. The item descriptions no longer show up. This is pretty unusable. What
   happened and more important, how can I fix it?

 * Hi [@ksalhoff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ksalhoff/),
 * To add the short or long descriptions of your products you need our [Premium Templates extension](https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips-premium-templates/).
   You can then add a ‘Product description’ block in [the customizer](https://docs.wpovernight.com/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/using-the-customizer/).

 * I don’t understand. It had it forever. It just recently disappeared. Are you 
   telling me you took it off to sell an extension??

 * We didn’t remove anything, the only reason I can think of is that this ‘description’
   was added by a third party plugin and they changed something. I’m also not sure
   we’re talking about the same ‘description’. Could you upload a few screenshots
   so that we know exactly what you are talking about?
    - The order/backend in WooCommerce showing this description
    - How it was previously displayed in the PDF (and which version of PDF Invoices&
      Packing Slips you used to create that PDF)
    - What it currently looks like in the PDF
 * Are these vanilla WooCommerce descriptions, variations, or is this added with
   a third party plugin? If so, which one?
 * Let us know and we’ll do our best to find out why it disappeared.

 * Thank you for the response. I have screen shots from before and after. Where 
   would you like me to upload them?

 * wordpress.org doesn’t have an image service but you can use any cloud service
   or an image host like [https://imgbb.com](https://imgbb.com)
    Don’t forget to
   answer the other questions too, so we know more about the context.

 * The description that no longer shows is the standard product description. When
   you see the screenshots, I think you’ll understand. It went from showing the 
   SKU and description to just the SKU.

 * Thanks – this is the product name, not the description, hence the confusion with
   kluvers answer.
 * Without the additional information there’s not much we can do to help yet, I’m
   afraid. Which version of PDF Invoices & Packing Slips did you use to create that
   PDF where it showed properly and which version do you use now?
 * You’re also still missing one of the screenshots:
    - The order/backend in WooCommerce showing this description

   The order that does not show it: [https://ibb.co/hLK8p2W](https://ibb.co/hLK8p2W)
 * Not sure when it disappeared. We are running WooCommerce 3.7.1, WordPress 5.2.4
   and PDF Plugin 2.3.4

 * One difference I see is the “Booked Seats” – is it possible that the plugin responsible
   for the seats booking is overriding the item name? Does the name re-appear when
   you disable that seats booking plugin?
