    When attempting to export a PDF containing more than 130 fields, we encounter a 504 Gateway Time-out error. Despite reaching out to server support and implementing the required adjustments, the issue persists. Additionally, we have conducted troubleshooting by disabling other plugins, but this has not resolved the problem

    For best results, it’s necessary to optimize the PDF and the Formidable Form Signature Field. Here are some additional ways to speed up the process and/or extend the timeout limit.
    – Compress the PDF form to the smallest possible file size. (Less than 100k if possible)
    – Create a uniquely named Text Field for each signature on the PDF and map each of them to one single Formidable Form Signature Field.
    – Decrease the Signature Field Multiplier (resolution) using this code.
    – Disable the PDF Attachment and add a shortcode link to the email body so the user can download the PDF on-demand rather than as an attachment.
    – Increase the following PHP settings;
    max_execution_time = 600
    max_input_time = 600
    max_input_vars = 4000
    memory_limit = 512M
    post_max_size = 256M
    session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

    If you need additional assistance, provide the following with your reply.
    – Confirmation of the above suggestions, what was and was not done.
    – Copy of the PDF Form that is uploaded to the plugin
    – How many signature fields are on the form? (Signatures take more time to process the merge which can cause the timeout error.)

    I responded a few days ago, but unfortunately, it seems that my reply did not get recorded here. I carefully double-checked to ensure that I had successfully submitted it, and indeed, it was submitted. However, for some reason, it hasn’t been reflected in the records. My response included a link to screenshots for reference.

    I suspect that this form may not allow the submission of screenshot links.
    The server settings is properly set.
    Fields are more than 130.
    Compress pdf file is at 1.1MB

    I attempted to reduce the size of the PDF file through compression, but even after the process, the file remained at 1.1MB.

    Please expedite the solution process as our client requires this to be functional as soon as possible.

    Hi,any update?

    Formidable’s signature fields are known to use a lot of memory, and with 11 signatures, it appears you’ve passed the capabilities of the plugin, which varies depending on your web server. We successfully tested the form with five signatures.

    They recommend “You can either increase the memory limit on your site, or decrease the image resolution

    Try decreasing all signature field resolutions to half.
    Or
    Break up the PDF into two PDFs.
    Or
    Upgrade to our newest PDF plugin, E2Pdf for far superior performance. E2Pdf processes signatures differently and will render the eleven needed. It’s the most powerful PDF creator for WordPress, and there’s a migrate tool on the plugin’s site to convert PRO2PDF templates to E2Pdf templates.

    If I currently have a license for FormidablePRO2PDF, am I allowed to use it for E2PDF?

    We have purchased an additional license for e2pdf. Are we eligible for a refund?
