PDF field calculations will not work without using PDF javascript. As a work-around, you may add hidden fields with field calculation functionality to the Formidable form and then merge the hidden fields to the PDF.

Thank you for contacting us, we have emailed credentials to you. Let us know if you have any further issues.

The new version of the plugin (is SO awesome!) will be a total replacement and will offer the ability to map directly to the PDF field by simply clicking on the web form field, totally eliminating the field map layout.
We are in Alpha testing now and expect the beta version by March. We’ll let you know by email when the new version is available for beta.

You can use the same form to upload exported files, the site credentials are not required fields.

We are happy to help, however your question is too vague to know where to start, it may be best for us to login and setup a field map layout on your site for you to review.
Complete this form if login is possible, otherwise, send an export of the Formidable forms and export a template of the PRO2PDF field map layout that you have created, so our instructions can be specific to your forms.

Remove all the field mappings for rows 2 and up… You only need to map the first row.
We remain at your service.
The field map layout should only map to the first row of data, the plugin will auto-fill the additional rows without mapping to them.
Provide us with a screenshot of the field map layout showing the repeatable fields for more specific instructions.

We found and fixed an issue with our plugin and the beta version of Formidable’s signature plugin. Update the PRO2PDF plugin and let us know if your reported issue is resolved.

Or the forms’s view wherever the shortcode is being used.

Thank you, we also need a screenshot of the Formidable form’s On Submit Message Box where you have the PRO2PDF shortcode.

The error could be one of several issues… We need more information in order to determine the origin.
. Are you able to export a merged PDF form from the plugin’s EXPORT tab?
. Do you have more than one field map layout created for the Formidable form? If so, are they all working, if not, you should delete or correct all non-working field maps.Complete this form if you’d like us to take a look, or reply with screenshots of the entire field map layout and the Formidable form’s On Submit Message Box for further review.

Here’s an overview…
. Create a Formidable Form and add the fields required that match your PDF, the form will be completed by your web users.
. Upload your PDF form (with Adobe form fields) to the plugin’s Export tab. NOTE: If you name the PDF form fields the same as the Formidable form fields or the same as the Formidable Form keys, then you can take advantage of the Auto Mapping setting found on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
. If you do not use the auto-mapping feature, then create the field map layout by manually selecting the fields to map on the plugin’s EXPORT tab.
Here a step-by-step demo video to help you. We also offer low cost services to create a complete template for you which includes the Formidable Form, PDF Form, and Field Map Layout. Complete this form if you would like us to provide you with an estimate.

This issue was resolved with an update in 2016. What version of the plugin are you using? If it’s up-to-date, then it’s possible you have a unique installation. Complete this form to have us take a look.

Optionally, you may keep the attachment option by setting up different email notifications for each type of application, then use the email notification’s conditional logic to control which email to send. However, the first option would be faster.
We remain at your service.
There is no way to use conditional logic on PDf attachments, however, you may disable attachments for all Field Map Layouts, then you can use conditional logic in the body of email notification(s) to determine which link is displayed.

Thank you for the heads up, however, the support thread is marked “PRIVATE”. Are you able to past the relevant info here? Are you referring to Formidable 3.0 or a different update to the signature add-on plugin?

The Formidable form MUST save the data before the user can ‘preview’ the PDF. There is no out-of-the-box or built-in method to accomplish your desired functionality. This will require custom programming that we have completed for other users for a reasonable fee. Complete this form if you would like us to provide you with an offer.
Here’s on overview of how this functionality may be accomplished;
. Create a duplicate of the WooCommerce product and change the “Add to Cart” button to “Next”, and change the Formidable form “On Submit” to redirect to the duplicate product and send the Formidable entry_id as a parameter.
. Create a Formidable form to “preview” the original form submission on the duplicated product page using Formidable’s Get a Value from an Entry shortcode to populate hidden fields and a HTML field to preview the text, or display a Formidable View with a “Preview” button. Or, we have also created an image with text overlay and watermark to simulate a preview of the PDF to avoid the user leaving the site to ‘preview’ the document.A download link could be added to the WooCommerce Email Notifications with PHP code to generate a PRO2PDF download link the WooCommerce “Completed Order” and “Processing order” Email notifications. This will require custom development.

We are running PHP version: 5.6.30 and are not planning on upgrading at this time. However, we are going to release a new (replacement) version of PRO2PDF, called e2Pdf, in March 2018. The new version is using the latest PHP release.

Also, make sure the “Use local PDFtk” is not selected on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.

If the signature has worked in the past, then check to make sure “SIGNATURE” is selected in the field map layout’s FORMAT dropdown field. If the FORMAT dropdown is missing then the plugin has reverted to the free version.
Let us know the status of the FORMAT dropdown.
We remain at your service.
The signature plugin is working on all our sites as expected and there are no known issues. We are not familiar with a ‘serialize’ message or error. Are you able to provide a screenshot of the error?
Check the plugin’s SETTINGS tab that the “Enable local PDFTK” option is not checked. If not checked and the signature is not merging, we are happy to take a look at your installation if you complete this form. Otherwise provide us with more information and we’ll try to help you troubleshoot the issue you are having.
We remain at your service.
PDFtk is not required if you have purchased the pro version. Uncheck the “Enable local PDFTK” checkbox on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
Are you able to export from the EXPORT tab after selecting the Form, Dataset, and Field Map Layout? If not, what is the error you are receiving?
Complete this form if you’d like us to take a look at your installation.

Yes, there was an update to the plugin, update from the WP plugins tab.
We remain at your service.
We have updated the plugin to accept this hook in functions.php or code snippet. Just change the commented value below…
add_filter('fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields', 'fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields_updated', 10, 2); function fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields_updated($fields, $entry) { if (isset($entry->form_id) && $entry->form_id == '9') { //change 9 to the Form ID $exploded = array(); foreach ($fields as $key => $field) { $index = $field[0]; $value = $field[1]; if ($index == 'm9hvnr') { //change m9hvnr to the name of the 1st PDF form field $exploded = explode(",", $value); //change , to the data separator used in the Formdiable Form Field if (isset($exploded['0'])) { $fields[$key][1] = $exploded['0']; } } } foreach ($fields as $key => $field) { $index = $field[0]; $value = $field[1]; if ($index == '2ebjab') { //change 2ebjab to the name of the 2nd PDF form field if (isset($exploded['1'])) { $fields[$key][1] = $exploded['1']; } } } } return $fields; }Change the shortcode’s dataset=xx parameter to dataset=[id]

CHANGE: [formidable-download form="bxo68" dataset="5630" layout="94"]
