If the above does not work, try adding the filename= parameter, like this…
[formidable-download form=”hclafv” dataset=[id] layout=”1004″ filename=”Form4473-1″ download=”auto”]

The requested format is already provided as the expected filename result;
. If you are using the filename= shortcode parameter, please copy/paste your shortcode here for further assistance.
-or-
. If you are using the default filename function located in the Field Map Layout, please provide a screen shot of the field map layout with the Form and Layout selected for further assistance.

We are happy to make any suggested changes, please elaborate on the radio button you had to select. What was the problem?

Great, glad you found it! Thanks for letting us know.

Our apologies, the free version does not offer formatting, so that is not the issue. We’re unable to determine the issue from the mapping image.

Are you using LiveCycle, Acrobat, PDFEscape.com, or other to create the PDF form?
NOTE: This plugin is NOT compatible with LiveCycle forms.

If not LiveCycle, then…

This is not an issue we have heard of before, try this;
. Create another Formidable form with just one field
. Create another PDF form with just one field
. Create another field map layout and map the above fields
Then,
. Let us know if it works.
. If it does not work, email the one field PDF Form to support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com

Hi Barb,

The switch form menu is a Formidable Forms dropdown, not our third-party add-on plugin. We are using auto-size for all of our form drop-down lists.

Let us know if it is our plugin you are finding the issue, as we remain at your service.

Double check the “Format” dropdown for the mapped fields in the Field Map Layout, should be set to “No Formatting”, if it is… then to further assist please provide a screenshot of the Field Map Layout screen with the Form, Dataset and Layout selected and to include the mapped fields. If we don’t see the issue there, we may need to look at the PDF form and possibly the Formidable Form.

Or complete this form to have us login and take a quick look…

Oops! If emailing, we’ll also need a screenshot of the “Activate Forms” tab.

Yes, but you’ll activate / deactivate from the WP plugin screen and Formidable’s Global Settings page.

We remain at your (quick) service! 😉

We understand your need to change the PDF page output based on the form’s submit data, we too had the same need.

While the plugin will not change the structure of the PDF, and there are no intentions to add any PDF structure changing ability to the plugin, you can make the LayoutID variable and dynamic based on the form’s data, which allows you to have multiple Field Map Layouts from one Formidable Form to many PDF forms.

For your particular scenario we would:
. Create a master PDF Form (Form-with-images.pdf) which includes all possible fields.
. Map the master PDF to the Formidable Form (Form with images).
. Edit the master PDF Form to remove image page(s) and SaveAs Form-without-images.pdf
. Create a Duplicate of the “Form-with-images” field map layout by selecting the layout, then click Duplicate at the bottom of the map.
. Upload the new “Form-without-images.pdf” to the Field Map Designer and save it to the new layout.
. Delete the unneeded fields from the new layout.

Now, you’ll need to make the LayoutID dynamic…
Use the Formidable Shortcode Conditionals such as IF STATEMENTS directly in your shortcode, or to decide which shortcode to use or not to use…

Please let us know if you need more help with this issue as we remain at your service.

Here are a couple of forum discussions about ways of making the shortcode dynamic…

Thank you for using the plugin. Even thought the Field ID still shows, the plugin is actually using the keys once you select the “Use field keys instead of field IDs” option.

We will look at providing a batch export for the next release based on your request.

Select the undesired layout, then click the “Delete entire field map” button at the bottom of the field map. Then confirm the delete action.

Thank you for using the plugin.

Hi, thank you for your patients and for submitting this issue on the support forum, as this is an issue we have not seen before…

The font type you used “Kozuka Mincho Pr6N R” is not happy with being used in a PDF form, I’ve changed the font to many other types and all works as expected… (other issues with this font are found on Adobe’s site…)

SOLUTION: Change the PDF form field fonts to nearly anything else…

When updating the PDF form simply edit the PDF on your computer and upload the PDF using the Field Map Layout screen, the plugin overwrites any PDF with the same name and there is no need to remap the fields*.

*Even if you change the PDF name, there is no need to remap the fields, simply select the Form and Field Map Layout from the top dropdowns and change the PDF Form dropdown to the newly named form. The plugin will recognize the field names and map to the new PDF filename.
