The issue is likely being caused by the embedded font, not the plugin. Again, the plugin does not control or manage fonts.
Are you able to provide specifics for us to review, such as;
. Are there specific fields with the issue or are all fields having the issue?
. Is the issue related to specific words or characters?
. When the issue occurs on a specific merge, will the merge work when retried, or is the same entry always failing?
. Have you tried changing the embedded font?We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterWe have not experienced the stated issue in the past, it may be necessary to embed a different font as the plugin does not control fonts, fonts are controlled by the PDF. Nonetheless, we are willing to take a look at your PDF to see if we are able to provide any further suggestions. Attach the PDF to this form and we’ll take a look.

adminKeymasterYou may upgrade at anytime during the subscription term, you’ll only pay the difference in cost and you’ll receive an additional year of service.
Let us know if you have any further questions. We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterIn the PDF example you sent to us, the “E” checkbox’s value is set to ‘Yes’ rather than ‘E’, so it won’t map correctly… but all others are merging correctly. Here’s the web form and merge example.
If you need further assistance, we would need to see your web form and the actual PDF form you are using so we may be specific with the directions.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterFor checkbox fields, each PDF checkbox must have a different field name and each in the group must be mapped to the same Formidable checkbox field.
If you need more help, upload the PDF to this form so we may provide assistance specific to your form.

adminKeymasterHere’s a link to the demo PDF file that is included with the plugin.
Let us know where you are having issues and well provided specific instructions.

adminKeymasterYes, you can use any Adobe Acrobat compatible form editor, including the online service http://www.pdfescape.com.

adminKeymasterYes, that’s exactly what the plugin was designed to do. Be sure to take a look at the demo video, and follow these steps to automatically generate the field map layout…
. Use copy/paste to rename the PDF fields to match the Formidable field names EXACTLY.
. Select the “Enable automated layout creation for new field maps” on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
. Now, when you create a new field map layout the plugin will correctly map all fields except ADDRESS, CHECKBOX, and REPEATABLE fields, which must be mapped manually.Let us know if you have any issues creating the field map layout or use this form to request a quote for us to create the field map layout for you.

adminKeymasterYes, users would fill out a Formidable web form and the data would be merged to the PDF. Admin may preview the PDF from the plugin’s tab on the WP Dashboard, or from a Formidable View.
Let us know if you have any other questions or complete this form if you would like a quote for us to create the data merge or form automation.

March 18, 2018 at 8:19 pm in reply to: not able to login to website to create ticket for premium suppot #18237adminKeymasterWe replied a few hours later, by email to the address on file (all***test***@gmail.com), with the following;
It appears the field map layout is too large for the server’s resources. We suggest an increase to the server’s PHP settings to the following…
memory_limit = 512M
post_max_size = 512M
output_buffering = 4096
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_vars = 4000Let us know if the changes help with the issue as we remain at your service.

adminKeymasterWe replied to your first request for assistance with the questions below…
. Were any changes to the web form or PDF made that may have caused the issue?
. Are you able to EXPORT PDFs from the plugin’s EXPORT tab?
– If no, is the PDF form listed in the “Select PDF file to work with:” dropdown field on the field map layout?
– If yes, sounds like the PRO2PDF shortcode is not correctly configured.Let us know the results as we remain at your service.
March 14, 2018 at 7:13 am in reply to: not able to login to website to create ticket for premium suppot #18206adminKeymasterWe apologize for the login issues, based on your request we have reset the account, temporary credentials have been emailed to the address on the account.

adminKeymasterAddress Fields in repeatable sections is not a functionality that is currently supported. The work-around is to use individual fields.

March 12, 2018 at 8:02 pm in reply to: Combining 2 Datasets from Forms Completed at Different times? #18193adminKeymasterUse Formidable’s View shortcode in the text area that becomes available when the “FORMIDABLE: DYNAMIC” option is selected. Use one or more of the View’s shortcode parameters to query the correct form entry.
Create and map a view to each PDF field, if you have 50 different fields, then create 50 views – one for each PDF field.
Let us know if you need more assistance or complete this form for a quote to have us create the field map layout for you.
adminKeymasterOur apologies, this is an odd issue we have yet to resolve. Your account has been manually reset and the temporary credentials were emailed to the address on the account.

adminKeymasterMerging form fields using the inline methods above will not produce font or text sizes that are different from the static text, we use them everyday. Which method are you using to produce the demo.pdf and can you provide a screenshot here or email to support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com?
Regarding the date field, using inline method #1, you can use PHP date formatting.
like this for 03/08/2018… [123 format=”m/d/Y”] where 123 is the date Field_ID.
or like this for Thursday, March 8th, 2018… [123 format=”l, F jS, Y”]We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterWe have updated your account to https, let us know if all is working as expected as we remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThe signature is an image created by Formidable’s signature plugin, ask Formidable Forms support if there is a way to change the color of the image and us know what they say and we’ll ask our senior developer if there is something we can do too.
For the Date Format, select the MM/DD/YYYY – 12/31/2015 option of the Format dropdown on the field map layout as shown here. Let us know if you need a different format or have any issues.
adminKeymasterLooks like you have an old version of the PRO2PDF plugin, try updating the plugin and let us know if you are able to see and use the Language Support option.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterWe apologize for the login issues, based on your request we have manually reset your password in order to check the login functionality with your account. We were successfully able to login with the credentials that were sent to the email address on the account.
You may need to clear your browser’s cache before tying again.
Let us know if you have any further issues as we remain at your service.
adminKeymasterYou may also find some speed increase by lowering the Formidable signature’s multiplier, see this post for instructions.
Our only other suggestion is to upgrade to the replacement beta version of PRO2PDF, called E2Pdf, once we release it sometime this month. You can signup here.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterWe reduced the size of the PDF by using Acrobat’s “Combine Files” function which resulted in a file size of 156k. Upload the file to the plugin, be sure to use the same filename which will overwrite the existing file and all will continue to work without the need to remap all the fields.
Let us know if this change reduces the PDF creation time.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterBased on your request for assistance, we have manually reset your account password and sent the new credentials to the account email address.
Let us know if you require additional assistance as we remain at your service.
