Repeatable Form Field is a function available in the PRO version by selecting “Repeatable” from the FORMAT dropdown in the Field Map Designer which then produces a “Repeatable Formatting…” text area where you can add the field ID [xxxx] and any other text or character.
Do you have the PRO version installed?
adminKeymasterFormatting options and the select-box of PDF fields are only available when using the PRO version of the plugin or the free version with PDFtk through our server. Running PDFtk on your server will only provide a text field which requires you to enter the field ID as it appears in the uploaded PDF.
Indeed, the executable is installed here: /usr/local/bin/ so for MAMP and creating a symbolic link via
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pdftk /usr/bin/pdftk
may be necessary.While we are happy to continue providing standard support to install PDFtk and PRO2PDF on Linux, we are unable to provide any support for the Mac OSX – as it’s always missing a byte.
PDFtk development team only explains how to install the plugin on Linux here… http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk-on-redhat-or-centos/
adminKeymasterYes, put the exact field id in the formatting box. Did you get it to work as needed?
adminKeymasterIf you have a development server that we can login to please send credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com. If not, please provide screen shots of both of the PRO2PDF screens with the correct layout and a dataset selected.
adminKeymasterPremium support is offered to users of the PRO version via Skype and Email. I don’t see your name or email listed on an order, however we will still provide answers to all your questions online. As you can see from the other user questions, most support requests are answered within a day, and many feature requests are completed and released to all in 2-3 days. Unfortunately your questions required our main developer, who was on vacation for a week, he’s back now but a little backed up with work.
Responses to your questions should be posted today, but definitely before the end of the weekend. We apologize for the delay.
July 28, 2015 at 6:30 am in reply to: Save a copy of the generated pdf in a predefined folder on my server #1183adminKeymasterThe PRO version of the plugin has an “Add a Second Dataset” feature that should accomplish your requested functionality. You would simply map a layout for step one, and another for step two, then use the Add a Second Dataset feature to print the PDF after step two.
Let us know if you’d like assistance setting up the second dataset feature.
adminKeymasterYes, unlock feature #3 “Link Title & Style” on this page http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/how-to-unlock-hidden-features-in-free-version-2/
adminKeymasterThis is a doable request as we are using the Formidable Pro Signature image to display a signature on PDFs. We will attempt to add this feature to the next release (or following release).
adminKeymasterPremium support is accessed through this support forum. Requests from premium users take priority.
adminKeymasterYes, unlock feature #3 “Link Title & Style” on this page http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/how-to-unlock-hidden-features-in-free-version-2/
July 25, 2015 at 1:25 am in reply to: How avoid the download link and send the pdf only by e-mail #1148adminKeymasterWe should have a release ready in 1 to 3 days.
July 24, 2015 at 10:54 pm in reply to: How avoid the download link and send the pdf only by e-mail #1146adminKeymasterGreat request! We will do our best to add a “silent mode/email only” option to the shortcode on the next release of the plugin.
adminKeymasterThere’s a problem with PHP version. PHP should be at least 5.3, some functions of the plugin don’t work with 5.2.17. We’ve added an information message about PHP version in a recent release.
To update PHP go to: http://php-osx.liip.ch/
NOTE: Users do not need to install PDFTK with the PRO version of the plugin.
adminKeymasterThere must be at least one dataset in the Formidable Form – double check that you have input at least one dataset, then select the form and layout again in PRO2PDF.
If you still are not able to create a field map please let us know. We are willing to take a look at your setup, or work with you over Skype (ras_marcus in San Diego) to troubleshoot the issue.

Do you have the PRO version installed?
adminKeymasterOur apologies for the response delay. Is it possible for us to view your server’s configuration? If so, please send credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com. If not possible, then please provide screen shots of the Formidable PRO2PDF screens, also let us know if you are able to save ‘any’ layouts on your production server.
adminKeymasterWhile discussing possible options we came to a question. If we add the functionality of hiding PDF form fields the document would be blank in the section where the field is placed. Would that be your desired result? Or are you looking to “build” the PDF file whereby the display field property would be used to change the placement of other fields?
July 17, 2015 at 9:34 am in reply to: Mapping Formidable Checkboxes Options to PDF Check Boxes #1106adminKeymasterThe latest update includes support for the multiple checkbox field, however at this point only the Formidable checkbox field can be selected in the Field Map Designer – and the results are listed together seperated by a comma. We realize this is not the best result to map to a PDF checkbox. We are continuing to work on parsing the Formidable Checkbox results into individual fields in the Field Map Designer so you’ll be able to map each option of a multiple checkbox field to corresponding PDF checkbox fields.
Please stand by for further updates.
adminKeymaster1. The signature field plugin is supported by http://www.FormidablePro.com, according to the plugin page;
Increase the multiplier
This example allows you to change the multiplier for signature fields. A higher multiplier will create a clearer signature, but it also takes up more memory. The default multiplier is 5.
add_filter('frm_sig_multiplier', 'change_sig_multiplier', 20, 3);
function change_sig_multiplier($multiplier, $field, $value){
if ( $field->id == 171 ) {//Change 171 to the ID of your signature field
$multiplier = 10;
}
return $multiplier;
}
2. Add a email field (or text field) to your Formidable Form. Then add the field ID to the TO form field… SETTINGS -> FORM ACTIONS -> EMAIL NOTIFICATION -> TO
adminKeymasterChecking on this, will update you soon.
adminKeymasterHello Mr. Hauser,
Great question, thank you for trying the PRO2PDF plugin.
Without further programming, you could dynamically change the “Layout ID” in the shortcode, allowing you to map multiple PDF forms with only the required data fields in variations of your main form.
For quick execution I would;
. Upload all PDF form variations
. Create a Layout and Map the “full” PDF form – with all required fields
. Create a copy of the layout (button at bottom of the Field Map Designer) for each variation of the “full” PDF form
. Delete the unwanted field mappings from the new layouts
. Create a field in the Formidable Form for the “Layout ID” which dynamically changes based on the conditional logic.Creating PDF’s in a Saved Draft is accomplished by placing the PRO2PDF shortcode in the Messages|Saved Draft section of the Formidable Form Settings|General screen.
We remain at your service, let us know if you need more assistance – or a different solution.

adminKeymasterThe issue is likely missing software on your server. PDF files use UTF-16, not UTF-8, so we use the PHP MBstring module to re-encode text, which is available on most servers: http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php
There’s a fallback when the module is not installed: http://php.net/manual/en/book.iconv.php
If you can install one or the other the issue should go away. If one or both are already installed on your server, we may need FTP access to check the issue. In that case if you can provide credentials please send to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterYes, check boxes can be mapped the same as radio buttons, by setting the “EXPORT VALUE” of the PDF form field to the value of the individual Formidable form check box value.
While testing today we found an error when multiple check boxes are selected for the same Formidable Form field. A temporary work around is to add and map a separate check box field for each PDF form field.
We are looking into a fix and I’ll message you as soon as we have an update.

adminKeymasterWe’re currently working on a “Add a second dataset” demo and video, however in the meantime let me know if I can login to your test server to assist you in making the forms work with the plugin. If it’s possible then email temporary login credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com.
If it’s not possible to provide a login, please Skype me so I can work with you directly.

adminKeymasterFor a second dataset your shortcode must have two layouts, in your example you only have layout=18, but the second dataset must have it’s own layout.
1. Be sure both forms are active in the PRO2PDF Plugin’s “Activated Forms” tab (ASSESSMENT REPORT and PERSON FORM)
2. Create a second layout for the student’s name (Use the same PDF Form, but must map student name from PERSON FORM to Student Name in PDF FORM)
3. There must be at least one dataset in each Formidable Form for the mapping to work.I’ve created a demo for you to view, I will email the login credentials to you.
