There’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.

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?

While 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?

1. 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

Hello 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.

Yes, 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.

For 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.

There was a conflict in CSS styles between our plugin and Fusion Builder. It’s solved, so the layout builder works fine now.

There’s a new update of the plugin available on WordPress.org. You can update it on other sites if you go to WordPress Dashboard → Updates.

Thank you for using Formidable PRO2PDF to print dynamic PDF forms in WordPress with the Avada theme and Fusion Builder.

I am happy to login and take a look – if you would like, please send temporary account credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com.

“Do I need to type PDF Form Field Name based on the name of my field name in FP form?”

No – the field names from the Formidable Form and PDF Form will automatically appear in the dropdown lists as long as the Formidable Form has at least one dataset.

Correct! You’ll then see a link to download the filled-in PDF Form – with the data that was just entered into the Formidable Form – followed by “Your responses were successfully submitted. Thank you!”.

According to the example in your question, you are attempting to place the shortcode in the Formidable Form’s CUSTOMIZE HTML area, which is not the correct location.

Instead, place your shortcode in the Formidable Form’s SETTINGS >> GENERAL (tab) >> ON SUBMIT MESSAGE (text box) and please let us know if you require further assistance.
