We understand your need to change the PDF page output based on the form’s submit data, we too had the same need.

While the plugin will not change the structure of the PDF, and there are no intentions to add any PDF structure changing ability to the plugin, you can make the LayoutID variable and dynamic based on the form’s data, which allows you to have multiple Field Map Layouts from one Formidable Form to many PDF forms.

For your particular scenario we would:
. Create a master PDF Form (Form-with-images.pdf) which includes all possible fields.
. Map the master PDF to the Formidable Form (Form with images).
. Edit the master PDF Form to remove image page(s) and SaveAs Form-without-images.pdf
. Create a Duplicate of the “Form-with-images” field map layout by selecting the layout, then click Duplicate at the bottom of the map.
. Upload the new “Form-without-images.pdf” to the Field Map Designer and save it to the new layout.
. Delete the unneeded fields from the new layout.

Now, you’ll need to make the LayoutID dynamic…
Use the Formidable Shortcode Conditionals such as IF STATEMENTS directly in your shortcode, or to decide which shortcode to use or not to use…

Please let us know if you need more help with this issue as we remain at your service.

Here are a couple of forum discussions about ways of making the shortcode dynamic…

Hi Team, One question about this before I try to conquer it. My formidable forms generate the PDF and send the PDF over email once submitted. If I make the LayoutIDs Dynamic, will it work when the forms are emailed?

The send email attachment is controlled by the Layout. So if LayoutID=10 then the email notification(s) for Layout ID10 will be sent.

Let us know if this does not answer accurately your question, as we remain at your service.

You can use the conditional shortcodes in the On Submit Message Box or in the body of the email message. (or other forms, veiws, pages, post, or custom taxonomy)

Found the Formidable post that will help. You’ll need to create a shortcode or two that checks all of the values and returns true/false or returns the content if the statement is true. This is just an example, your code will need to be different.

Compare two fields in View
Use this shortcode to compare two fields in your View. Usage: [compare val1=”[x]” type=”==” val2=”[y]”]content here[/compare]. Replace x and y with your field ids and replace == with your condition. If you would like to check if the two values are equal, use ==.

add_shortcode('compare', 'compare_func');
function compare_func($atts, $content=""){
extract(shortcode_atts(array('val1' => '', 'val2' => '', 'type' => '=='), $atts));
if ( !FrmFieldsHelper::value_meets_condition($val1, $type, $val2) ) {
$content = '';
}
return $content;
}


The shortcode is failing because you left out the dataset=[id] part.

Also, the shortcode could be less complicated by changing the values of the dropdown list to the layoutID’s, then just make the layoutID equal the form field ID, like this…
[formidable-download form=’44tmf035′ dataset=[id] layout=[5346]]

However regarding email attachments, they are not controlled by the shortcode, they are sent based on the Layout settings. There is currently no way to stop attachments using shortcodes.

You can, however, place the shortcode in the email body, you’ll be able to click to download the correct PDF.

Let me know if you want me to change the dropdown field values and shortcode for you, as we remain at your service.
