What does happen when the layout fails to load? Is there an error message? Does the plugin just hang? Does it open a blank layout or a blank page?
To troubleshoot, try disabling all plugins except Formidable Forms and PRO2PDF and try loading again, if it loads, activate one plugin at a time and test until you find the cause.
We await your response(s) as we remain at your service.
Repeatable fields should have the exact same field name except the number at the end should increment from 1, with 1 being the first row (or set) of fields, then only map the first row of PDF repeatable fields. The plugin will automatically recognize the additional fields based on the field name and number at the end.
It sounds like you may be mapping the additional fields (2,3,4) too.
Follow these instructions exactly, if you are getting different results, use this form to send us a screenshot of the field map layout showing the mapped repeatable fields, and attach the PDF for further review and to allow us to be specific with our support.

Good news! Bad news. And, our sincerest apologies.
Confirm with your client that this issue has not occurred since Friday, February 19, 2021.
Over the last two weeks we have experienced an issue with our server, with loss of service two weeks ago, then another a few days ago, with many after that. However, no issues have occurred since Friday, February 19, 2021, that we are aware of.
We have not located the exact cause of the bad news, what appears to be, a random memory leak. You have our sincere apologies. We realize the trust and faith you have in PRO2PDF as we are humbled by it.
To mitigate the ongoing server stability issue, we doubled the server’s resources and will continue to monitor its performance closely.
Moving the server to a new host is also being considered. However, Nexcess has been highly reliable for all of us for many years, so we will try the resource upgrade, and then we’ll see how to proceed.
Please let us know if you experience any further issues!
The good news is…

Our support for PRO2PDF has not wavered nor has our response time. We, and our hosting provider, are constantly monitoring the server. So far the issue has not been easy to find, however, we are reviewing options to move the server to another hosting provider.
The site is back up, and we have not stopped monitoring the issue.

Sounds like PRO2PDF will provide all the required functionality.
Our plugin has an option to “FLATTEN” PDF files after the merge, however, the default setting is “NO”, which means the user will be able to edit the fields as your workflow requires.
Images (logos) may be uploaded using Formidable’s file upload field and merged to a PDF text field.
PRO2PDF is not a ‘one-time’ form filler… the shortcode is able to reproduce the PDF at anytime, which may be used in a Formidable View in the user’s portal to provide on-demand link(s) to the PDF without the need to reenter data.

You may test the free version on the intranet, if it works, then the intranet version will also work.
To set up the plugin to use on an intranet server’s PDFtk installation, go to:
PRO2PDF → SETTINGS → Select “Enable local PDFTK” → SAVE CHANGESNOTE:
– Merging images and signatures are not supported on the intranet version.
– There are no refunds for the intranet version.We remain at your service.

Our apologies for the delay in responding to your 1st question. No, there is no functionality to allow for password protecting the editing capabilities. We have this functionality in the roadmap of our new plugin, E2Pdf.com, however, we do not have a timeline on the upgrade.
We have worked-around this ourselves by building in editing capabilities to the Formidable Forms web form and PDF download capabilities using Formidable’s Views.

Our apologies! The account has been corrected, the expiration date was changed to 1 year from today and we will research the occurrence.

PRO2PDF does not (and will not ever) render HTML as a graphical display. Our newest plugin, E2Pdf, will eventually render graphs, however, not currently.
In the past, we have achieved dynamic graphs in PDF with the data from Formidable Forms using Javascript for Acrobat.
