This is an issue with Adobe Acrobat which we have no control over. Once a PDF is ‘digitally signed’, including using Adobe’s ESignature service – by design – Acrobat won’t print the document to a PDF file. This has been an issue for many years as we personally use digital signatures in our real job.
The workaround is to use a third party PDF print driver, such as Microsoft’s Print to PDF driver, and most others, to print a digitally signed document from Acrobat to PDF.
A google search of the topic shows how long this has been an issue.

Change the shortcode’s dataset=xx parameter to dataset=[id] to fill the PDF with the current user’s data.

The functionality with Apple products is working as expected on other WP installations. Try the demo on our site here with your Apple device(s).
The issue appears to be related to your WordPress installation, possibly a third-party plugin that changes the default behavior of htaccess, cache, restrictions, etc.. Try disabling any security, caching, or SMTP plugins, and test.
If it works, add the plugins back one-by-one and test each time to find the source of the conflict.
If it doesn’t work, you may need to open your server up to Ukrainian country access, as it appears to be blocking the developer from logging in.
We look forward to your reply as we remain at your service.
REGARDING – A requirement is to have Adobe (or other Acrobat form editor) installed…
–This requisite pertains to your personal computer’s requirement to setup the PDF Form. This is not a server requirement.REGARDING CONFIGURATION:
Yes, PRO2PDF will work for your use case.
–You’ll need the 1-SITE | 2-FORMS paid version to be able to merge images.
–Paying for ‘number of selected checkboxes’ may need to be done using a separate form prior to submitting the form data. More discussion may be required to ensure your expected workflow is possible.We remain at your service.
Our apologies for the delay in setting up your account. We have made an adjustment to your account and all should be working as expected now.

inline=1 is the parameter to view the PDF in a new browner tab.
Make sure the field map layout is set to use the FLATTEN option. It’s required to view with iPhone or iPad… due to the missing byte from all Apple products… More info can be found here.
If the layout is set to FLATTEN and the issue still exists, check if your able to open any other PDFs from your browser, and if so, does it open a different app or inside the browser.
We remain at your service.
If the layout is set to FLATTEN then we would need to troubleshoot your installation as this is not happening with any other user. Complete this form if login is possible.

Going forward, PRO2PDF is not expected to be updated other than compatibility issues. We are actively enhancing E2Pdf, which is the most comprehensive, feature rich and flexible PDF plugin made for WordPress. Pre-2019 PRO2PDF users are able to migrate to E2Pdf here, and PRO2PDF templates may be converted here.

This site is for PRO2PDF support.
Using the shortcode ‘prior’ to submitting the form may not be possible (I would personally need to test the DRAFT functionality), however, I typically make two forms and name the submit button on the first form “NEXT”, then forward the user to a 2nd form to verify/confirm the form data using the view shortcode… but…
Please submit your E2Pdf support question here and be sure to ask about the possibility of using Formidable’ DRAFT functionality on a 2nd page of the original form. A developer will review your request and has the ability to add functionality when needed.

PRO2PDF does not have a way to preview PDFs in WordPress. You’ll need to use our newest plugin for that, E2Pdf. The free version may be installed from the WordPress Plugin Repository and includes all options for one, 1-page PDF template. Use the [e2pdf-view] to create a preview in WP of the PDF.
E2Pdf is the most robust, feature rich PDF plugin for WordPress. No other plugin even comes close to the capabilities of E2Pdf.

Try using the inline=1 parameter, do not use download=”auto”.
EXAMPLE
[formidable-download form="xyz" dataset=[id] layout="123" inline=1]Let us know if that works for you as we remain at your service.
Acrobat DC Pro does have the “Export Value”. Our version has it in the same location, and we are unable to find any version without the setting.
If you are still unable to locate the setting, you can upload the PDF form to PDFEscape.com to access the settings.
We would need to see the PDF form in order to specify the issue. Use this form to upload the PDF and/or provide access to your site for further review.

There was an update to the ghostscript/imagemagick engine that is used to merge images/signatures. We made a change on the server and all appears to be working as expected now.
We apologize for the downtime, this was a first in over 5 years.

Using the PRO2PDF shortcode in Formidable Views and changing the dataset parameter to dataset=[id] will automatically populate each result with the entry’s EntryID.
You can use the shortcode in the view that lists entries, or on the view’s detail page.
Create a new forum post if you need additional assistance or if we did not answer your question, please provide a more specific use case.
NOTE: “Automatic download” of a list of merged PDFs is not possible.

This issue is likely caused by the same issue you posted here.
Let’s fix the first issue and see if this one is still a problem.

Sounds like you may have cloned your site, changed your url from http to https, or your WP nonce token has changed. Do any of these reasons match your site?
Try logging in to your account on the plugin’s website here and try deactivating the key and then reactivate form the plugin’s Activated Forms tab on your site?
Let us know the results of all of the above references.

Based on your description of the issue, the Downloaded PDF is the only correct option since there is no way to attach a “Use 2nd Dataset” template to an email.
If the issue with the email is the download link, then check the shortcode for an error on the 2nd dataset parameters.
Complete this form if you’d like us to take a look at your template.

The plugin will revert to the Free Version. Optionally, you may purchase up to 5 years in advance with a discount of 30% ($52). Let us know if you need a link to pay for 5-years.

All issues are being caused by incorrect PDF Export Values
To fix: Open the Formidable Form and the PDF side by side and copy paste values from the Formidable Form to the PDF Form.

ceApplication.pdf
“Live Webinars” export value is currently “Demonstrations pertaining to nitrogen use or management”selfStudyApplication.pdf
“Educational reading material” export value is currently “College level instruction”
“Recorded seminar or presentation” export value is currently “Professional or technical seminars”That’s all we checked…
Providing the URL & PDF would be the fastest way to find the issue and and relay the fix. Use this form to provide the information. Credentials are not required.

Change the dataset parameter to exactly this… dataset=[id]

It sounds like there may be a plugin conflict as we are not experiencing any known issues regarding shortcodes.
Try disabling all plugins except Formidable Forms and PRO2PDF and test the shortcode.
If the issue remains, then upload the following screenshots here;
-the plugin’s Export tab with the Field Map Layout selected
-the On Submit Message Box showing the shortcode.If the issue is resolved, then re-enable the plugins one at a time and test each time to find the offending plugin, and let us know which one it is.

Let us know the results of our suggestions.

1. Confirm you have purchased the paid version of PRO2PDF
2. Must use a PDF text field, not a PDF signature field.
3. Confirm you selected the “SIGNATURE” option from the Format dropdown field on the field map layout.If all the above is confirmed, we may need to take a look at your installation, complete this form if possible, or send us a screenshot of the entire EXPORT tab with the field map layout selected and loaded.
