With flatten set to YES, PRO2PDF will output the merged PDF file as a “non-editable” PDF file rather than a PDF file with form fields.
With flatten set to “Yes, and transform text into images”, PRO2PDF will output the merged PDF file the same as above, except the text will be converted into an image, rendering the text non-selectable for copying and non-editable.
With flatten set to NO, PRO2PDF will output the merged PDF file with all form fields. This option may be used in conjunction with the “READ-ONLY” PDF form field option to allow some fields to be edited and others non-editable.

No, PDFs are not stored, they are only generated on demand by a link or when attaching to an email the original files is deleted when the email is sent.
We do offer a $10 add-on plugin that will allow you to save PDFs to a folder on your server. Complete this form if you need the add-on.

Be sure there are no other test, abandoned or failing field map layouts for the same form that are set to send PDF attachments. If there are none and the issue remains, let us know if the export button on the EXPORT tab is exporting PDFs correctly.
After checking the above, complete this form is you want us to take a look at your installation.

Again, our apologies for the delay. We are working on the finishing touches to release the beta version of the replacement of PRO2PDF, called E2Pdf. It would be great if you would consider beta testing testing the plugin with us. You can sign up for emails and to be a beta tester on the site.
E2Pdf is the only full-featured PDF Editor for WordPress with “Extensions” to merge data to the PDFs. Gone are field map layouts as the new version intuitively maps directly to the PDF from a graphical representation of the web form or WordPress page/post.
At the time of release, the extensions will include WordPress (page, post, & meta data), Formidable Forms, and Divi’s Contact Form Module. We will be adding WooCommerce, Contact 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, and every other forms plugin. Then we’ll move on to Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, Joomla and Drupal as well!

Found a bug being caused by the apostrophe in the name of the field map layout. Remove the apostrophe and all will work as expected. We’ll investigate fix for the bug and let you know when an update is ready.

We apologize for the delay, however, we have not been able to reproduce the issue. Are you able to provide an example of a template that is failing?

PDF is the only output of PRO2PDF at this time, we may add other output formats with the upcoming replacement version, E2Pdf, which is due to be released sometime in March.

“Formidable:Dynamic” is the last option in the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown as selected in the image below which demonstrates how to use a COMB field with only the month & year of a date field.

There are two ways to accomplish the above;
1) Use Formidable’s “Calculated Text Field” to combine “input A, B and C” in a hidden field, then map the hidden field to the PDF “field 4” using PRO2PDF.2) From the field map layout, map the one PDF field to the “Formidable:Dynamic” choice listed in the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown. Then add something like this to the text box; if field ID’s for Input A = [111], Input B = [222], Input C = [333]
[111][222][333]
or
[111], [222], [333]
or
[111]
[222]
[333]*NOTE: “Formidable:Dynamic” also accepts regular text, Formidable View shortcodes, and Formidable conditional logic like: [if x equals=”something”] [/if x]

We are not clear regarding your question.
PRO2PDF fills pre-made PDF forms with data from Formidable Forms. The pre-made PDF can be in any language and the Formidable Form can store data in most languages… The data submitted to the web form will fill the PDF form using the Field Map Layout.
How is the plugin not working for your need?

“Letter Spacing” is not a functionality of PDF form fields, other than using the COMB field option, which may work for your needs.
Yes, the plugin is safe. And yes, we are in Alpha testing of a total replacement of the plugin using a newer, more flexible, API. (And it’s totally AWESOME!!!)

Create the PDF form and name the fields the same as the Formidable Form field_name (or field_key if the field_name is used more than once), except checkbox fields. For checkboxes, name each field in a group the same as the Formidable checkbox “option” and set it’s “export value” to the same.
Then, select the “Enable automated layout creation for new field maps” option on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
Then, upload the PDF and create a new field map layout, all fields will map automatically – except checkbox fields, map each PDF checkbox field in a group to the one Formidable checkbox field.
Use this form if you would like a quote from us to create the field map layout and merge.

Yes, that’s a great video, thanks for sharing!

The plugin works with Comb PDF fields. Set the PDF form fields to the “COMB” setting. Here’s more information about the COMB field.
Enter a 10-digit “phone number” on this demo form to see the comb field work with the plugin.

There are two ways to accomplish the above;
1) Add two more fields to the PDF form on top of the existing field with all three fields set to transparent background, then map A to one, B to another, and C to the third. Resulting in only one of the PDF fields containing data, the other two will be blank.2) From the field map layout, map the one PDF field to the “Formidable:Dynamic” choice listed in the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown. Then add something like this to the text box if field ID’s for Province A = [111], Province B = [222], Province C = [333]
[111][222][333]
*NOTE: “Formidable:Dynamic” also accepts Formidable View Shortcodes and Formidable conditional logic like: [if x equals=”something”] [/if x]

There is a way to correctly map the fields, however, we would need to see the web form and PDF form to be clear on our instructions to you.
Complete this form with login credentials if possible, or upload a PRO2PDF template export, or upload the PDF form and provide a link to the web form for further review.
