Sounds like something changed…
. Do any other merge layouts work?
. Can you merge PDFs from the plugin screen?
If yes to any of the above, please provide a screenshot of the shortcode for both forms.
If no to all of the above, we may need to take a look at your installation, if possible please send login credentials to support (at) formidablepro2pdf (DOT) com.There are no hooks or filters, however we do have a custom plugin that contains a filter which can be used to add additional formatting options to merged fields.
We will soon be offering the custom plugin as a paid add-on with premium support, however for now you can be a beta tester… I’ll email the plugin directly to you.
We remain at your service.
The plugin is not compatible with the Formidable “OTHER” checkbox option – you’ll have to use the old-fashioned conditional hide/show the text file for OTHER to work properly as the “Value” is whatever the user inputs, which can’t be matched to the PDF checkbox “value” for ‘OTHER’.
Your questions are fair.
Regarding installation of the full version of the plugin, we use PDFTK to dynamically fill PDF files, so if you want to install 100% of the service onto your server, your server must have PDFTK installed, PHP shell commands enabled, and the intranet version of the plugin.
Regarding our company, while we are new to offering the plugin to the public, the plugin itself is not new as it has been used in several businesses for years, including the 12-year-old insurance agency owned by the owner of this company.
At this point of five full months old, the plugin has more than enough users to sustain the service indefinitely. Feel free to use the plugin and the service or just the plugin and install the entire service on your server now or anytime in the future.
We remain at your service.
After one year, if you do not renew the plugin, the number of forms will revert back to one (1) for all plans except the UNLIMITED INTRANET version, which will still be able to use and create unlimited forms but will lose any PRO Updates, PRO Documentation and Premium Support.
We are also offering 2, 3, 4 and 5-year options at 5%,10%, 15% and 25% discounts respectfully.
We remain at your service.
Yes, the Unlimited Intranet for $69 year will allow your private server unlimited use of the plugin and all features with the exception of the Formidable Signature Add-on Plugin integration.
The annual cost would be for updates and premium support. Additional years may also be purchased at 5% off 2-Year, 10% off 3-Year, 15% off 4-Year and 25% off 5-Year upgrades.
Subscriptions include all PRO feature updates, PRO documentation, and premium support.
Yes, the plugin will work for you. Please send an email to support (at) formidablepro2pdf DOT com for private assistance.
You must have found this page…
http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/repeatable-field/This is a question for the heroes over at Formidable Forms.
Update your plugin again to use the two digit year format.
We also added all the other formats listed in the Format dropdown with the following exceptions;
- Signature format not available
- Use the word “label” for the “Show label for Checkboxes/Select/Radio”
Use title=”CLICK HERE” in the shortcode.
See a shortcode example near the bottom of the Repeatable Field page.
I apologize for the delay and the slight miscommunication. I was incorrect, the two digit year has not yet been added, the current fix is to change the format to a four digit year, like this… [103:mm/dd/yyyy]
We will add the two digit year on the next update. Let me know if the four digit year it works for you.
Oops! My mistake. I didn’t realize we hadn’t posted the update yet. Please check for the update now, and let us know if all is working as expected.
Did you update the plugin?
There is a checkbox example in the link above, you can also take a look here for more examples of checkbox mapping.
Radio Button Values are CASE SENSITIVE! Edit your PDF forms to make the Values match exactly to the Formidable field Values.
EXAMPLE:
Using your DEMO form and DEMO (Copy) layout, please take a look at this layout: http://new.eacougar.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpfx_generate&form=jybtj6&layout=25&dataset=61&format=pdf&inline=1For Radio Buttons in the Pre Registration form & dynamic PDF, you have everything setup correctly, except the Field Map Format. You must select “Show label for checkbox/select/radio” from the Format Dropdown List.
Like this;
We’re checking on your checkboxes now…
We’ve added a formatting option for Formidable Date Fields used inside Formidable Repeatable Fields – based on your request.
Here’s how our Repeatable Field Demo looks now:
[312:mm/dd/yyyy] | [313] | [311]The date format can also be;
- MM/DD/YY – 12/31/15
- DD/MM/YYYY – 31/12/2015
- MM/DD/YYYY – 12/31/2015
- YYYY/MM/DD – 2015/12/31
Name the PDF Checkbox fields the same, and change each “Value” to match a value from the Formidable Checkboxes.
EXAMPLE:
Three PDF Checkbox fields all have the same name “Highest Ed.” with one having a value of “Grammar”, another with “High” and the last checkbox has the value of “College”.One FORMIDABLE Checkboxes Field named “Highest Ed.” with three options, “Grammar”, “High” and “College”. (But you should use a Formidable Radio Button for this as you cannot stop multiple selections with Formidable Checkboxes)
FIELD MAP LAYOUT: Map the one Formidable Checkboxes field to the one PDF Checkbox field.
In light of your question and my forgetting to mention the multi-select method we updated the Checkboxes documentation, see here: http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/checkboxes-field/
Oops! I apologize, I forgot to mention that for “Multi-Select Checkboxes” you must name each of the PDF Checkboxes differently.
So for your PDF form, change “check up to five” to different names for each checkbox, then map the one Formidable Checkbox field to each of the PDF Checkbox fields, the plugin will then do the rest.
YES! Fantastic!!!
Update often!

I logged into your demo server, however, I don’t see the plugin.
Try this: DUPLICATE the layout by clicking the “Duplicate this Field Map” button located at the bottom-right of the Field Map Designer screen after selecting the layout from the “Field Map to use:” dropdown.
Then try selecting the “Email action box” and let us know if it saves with the layout. If it does not, also let us know how many field mapping the layout has. You can check the new BACKUP tab for the number of field mappings.
To clarify, the “Email action box(es)” will show up below the “Attach file to Email notifications” setting when set to “YES”.
In addition to “Attach file to Email notifications” set to “YES”, you must also check the Email action box for the action you want the PDF attached to.
There are no known issues with Hostgator, or any other hosting provider with regard to attaching pdf’s to email actions. However, that said we have not specifically tested the function on Hostgator. (NOTE: Intranet installations require the Unlimited Intranet version of the plugin)
Let us know if the Email action box is also checked, and if you’re still not receiving the email attachment.
