There is no functionality to auto-print a PDF. The best you can do is auto-download download="auto" or auto-open in a browser tab using inline=1.

We remain at your service.

Clarification: As a workaround, remove the the ampersand sign from the FF and PDF option value. You can also use FF’s separate fields so your display value can include the ampersand sign, but the export value will not.

Our latest plugin. E2Pdf, will be adding the required PDF Javascript functionality sometime in the future, it’s on our road-map, but not yet on our calendar.

If the workflow allowed for calculations to be made after the PDF is opened on the users computer, then a button could be added to run the necessary javascript ‘manually’. Any automated solution will be sometime in the future of E2Pdf.

It’s optional… If we can find the issue from the PRO2PDF template, then it’s an issue effecting all users. If we cannot find the issue from the PRO2PDF template, then it’s an issue that is limited to your installation.

So, the less invasive route is for us to check the template. From the PRO2PDF plugin, go to the “Templates” tab, then EXPORT the Field Map Layout that has the issue and upload it here.

Or, provide login and ftp credentials on this form so we can troubleshoot your installation.

Or, use Formidable Form’s “Separate Values” functionality as a workaround. (Although, we’d prefer to find/fix the issue.)

Make sure;
1. The PDF field is not mapped more than once on the Field Map Layout
2. The option values are exactly the same by copying the Formidable Form checkbox option value then paste it into the “Export Value” of the PDF checkbox field. (Any extra spaces or characters will not match) Then, upload the PDF to the plugin with the exact same filename to overwrite the existing PDF.

If you still need our assistance, we’ll need;
1. The PDF form
2. A screenshot of the Formidable Form in design view so we can see the option value (and any separate value)
3. A screenshot of the entire field map layout.
Or, complete this form and we’ll quickly login/out and let you know where the issue is.

All issues were resolved yesterday (approx. 15hrs ago) which was a loss of critical server resources. Please confirm you are not experiencing any issues, if you are let us know what’s happening.

Yes, PRO2PDF will accomplish the described task.

Out of the box, PDFs would not be “stored” on the server. From the plugin’s EXPORT tab, admins could at any time select the form, then an entry, then click the EXPORT button to generate the PDF based on the saved data in Formidable Forms.

If there will be over 500 entries, we would suggest creating a Formidable View to list or search for the entry and add the PRO2PDF shortcode to the view so admin could just click a link to generate the PDF.

Optionally, PRO2PDF has an add-on to generate PDFs when submit is clicked, and save the PDF to a folder on the local server.

Our free version works with 1 Formidable Form to an unlimited number of PDF templates. However, the paid version is required to merge signatures and images and is required to save PDfs locally with the add-on extension.

This is the third similar request we have received in the past hour. We are working to find the cause of the issue and we will not stop until the error is resolved and full service is restored.

At this time we do not know the cause or origin, but have confirmed the issue is effecting several users but is NOT server-wide.

We remain at your service and will update you as soon as we know more.

Any solution created with Formidable Forms would look and act different than the example.

PRO2PDF does not offer a view of the PDF in WordPress, E2PDF does. (Free version includes all features with 1 one-page PDF template)

To look more like the example above, I might create the previews as a Formidable View and also create the PDF templates, maybe as a ‘final preview’.

Regarding ‘What would be the cost?’ – The 10 Templates annual price is $50 for E2Pdf. Due to the nature of Formidable Forms, the time and UI customization required to develop would be outside our development support. You could try someone on the Formidable Community Slack Group. We may be able to offer our services to create a simpler version, if needed let us know.

The account shows 1 out of 2 sites is currently being used, however, you are only licensed for 1 site, therefore you may use the activation keys for the same site, one for http and one for https.

To change to a different site you must deactivate the current site from your account page here, then enter the key into the new site. Use this form to provide us with screenshots of any errors you receive, or provide us with login credentials if you want us to take a look at the installation.

Change the shortcode’s dataset parameter from dataset=xx to dataset=[id]. We hid the instructions on the demo video here at the top of the Shortcode Parameters page under the REQUIRED section.

Signature requires the paid version of the plugin, did you add the activation key to the Activated Forms tab?

What are you seeing in the PDF text field after the merge?

Create a custom search form in Formidable and add the PRO2PDF shortcode to the Results View. You can play with the results view to create a really dynamic back-end admin form.
