I am using Magento 1.7. If a coupon code is used I am trying to include it in the PDF invoice. I have been trying the suggestions in this thread http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/56110/ changing app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php however any changes I make to this file do not appear to do anything to the generated PDF. I also tried overriding it in app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.php and making any changes to this file did not make any difference.
Any suggestions much appreciated, I have spent a long time trying to find answers.

Added this
/* print coupon code on invoice */
if($order->getCouponCode()!=""){
$this->y -= 12;
$page->drawText('Code: '.$order->getCouponCode(), 450, $this->y, 'UTF-8');
}
/* print gift certificate code on invoice */
if($order->getGiftcertCode()!=""){
$this->y -= 12;
$page->drawText('Code: '.$order->getGiftcertCode(), 450, $this->y, 'UTF-8');
}
In app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Pdf/Invoice.pdf before $this->insertTotals($page, $invoice) on line 149.

I think you have any extension installed which does the PDF rendering for you rather instead of the touched file? just throw a
die('test')
into the file and you will know.Beside of this I can recommend Firegento_Pdf which offers a great event for exactly this:
