There are several ways to create the PDF, here’s our suggested method…
1) Use a PDF Form Creator/Editor, such as Adobe Acrobat, pdfescape.com, or the only PDF Form Creator/Editor plugin for WordPress – our new free plugin, E2Pdf.
2) Add/edit the fields and name them EXACTLY the same as the associated Formidable form field’s KEY (not the number ID). NOTE: This is case and space sensitive, use COPY/PASTE to be sure the fields are EXACT!
2b) For Radio fields: Name each of the PDF Radio Button Option Fields EXACTLY the same as the associated Formidable form field’s KEY (not the number ID), then change each of the PDF Radio Button Field’s EXPORT VALUE (also known as OPTION VALUE) to match the Formidable Form Field’s option value. See example with downloadable deme here.
2c) For Checkbox fields: If the checkbox option values are short (under 100ish characters), name each PDF Checkbox Option Field the same as the option value change each of the PDF Checkbox Option Field’s EXPORT VALUE (also known as OPTION VALUE) the same as the associated Formidable Form Checkbox option.
(Example, if four checkbox option values are: BLUE, GREEN, RED and YELLOW… then the field names and the field option values should be exactly the same, “BLUE”, “GREEN”, “RED” and “YELLOW”).
If the options are long sentences, then name the checkbox option fields 1,2,3,4… and set their EXPORT VALUES to be exactly the same as the associated Formidable Form Checkbox values.2d) See here for Repeatable Sections.
3) From the PRO2PDF SETTINGS tab: CHECK “Enable automated layout creation for new field maps”.
4) From the PRO2PDF EXPORT tab: CLICK the “Upload a PDF file” to upload the PDF form.
5) From the “Select the form to export data from:” dropdown field – select the Formidable Form
6) From “Field Map to use:” dropdown field, select “New Field Map”
7) From “Name of Field Map (will be used as default filename):” text field, enter a name for your Field Map.
8) From “Select PDF file to work with:” dropdown field, select your PDF Form
9) From “Select Form to work with:” dropdown field – select the Formidable Form
10) Click “Create Field Map”
After the screen refreshes…
11) From the “Select the form to export data from:” dropdown field – select the Formidable Form
12) From “Field Map to use:” dropdown field, select your field map
13) After the screen refreshes, scroll to the bottom of field map layout and click “SAVE FIELD MAP”
14) Now you must correct the map for each checkbox field, scroll through the field map layout and you’ll see the checkbox field names are all mapped to the first Formidable Field, change them to the one associated Formidable Checkbox field and click the SAVE FIELD MAP button.
Let us know if you need further assistance and at which point you require more detail.

Regarding the sending of 4 PDF attachments. Create 4 Email Notifications and set the Conditional Logic to send a different Email Notification for each PDF (Field Map Layout). Then, check/uncheck the appropriate Email Notifications in each of the 4 PRO2PDF Field Map Layouts.
Regarding the name of attached PDFs, use the “Name of Field Map (will be used as default filename):” field found on the Field Map Layout to set the default PDF filename. You may include Formidable field shortcodes and/or static text.

Sounds like there are two Field Map Layouts, both set to send an email attachment. To fix, select the test, abandoned, or otherwise not needed Field Map Layout and click the DELETE button at the bottom – or change the EMAIL ATTACHMENT setting.
Regarding the Radio Button issue, the usual problem is setup of the PDF Radio Buttons… All related PDF radio buttons MUST have the same field name. Then, change each of the “EXPORT” or “OPTION” Values to match the Radio Button option values on the Formidable Form.
If you believe all is setup correctly, use this form to send us the original PDF form so we can confirm the settings. You can also provide login info, however, we would likely only need to see the PDF form.

PRO2PDF is designed to merge a single web form entry into PDF(s). However, the plugin can also merge Formidable Views into PDF forms.
Depending on how the data needs to populate the PDF, you may be able to create a view with the required data, then enter the view’s shortcode in a “FORMIDABLE: Dynamic” option found in the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown field on the “Field Map Layout” screen.

This functionality is not currently available, however, we are checking into what it would take to add and we’ll let you know soon.

1) Yes, use Formidable’s Email Notification to send the completed form(s).
. Here’s a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOA-rGyv-js
. Here’s Formidable’s email notification help page: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/email-notifications/2) Yes. You can populate as many PDF forms as you want from one single Formidable Form, or you can have multiple Formidable Forms each connected to multiple PDF forms.
3) Of course, but that should be done inside the Formidable form, not PRO2PDF. Let us know if there is a need to incorporate Terms & Conditions into PRO2PDF…

After one year it will be necessary to renew the service to continue merging more than one Formidable form. Alternatively, you can install PDFtk on your server to process the merging of unlimited forms.

NOTE: The download=”auto” parameter may not be used with the inline=1 parameter. Used together, the download parameter will fail.
Our apologies, we posted this response on Jan 10, however, it was not made visible…
There are no known issues with the download=”auto” parameter. Check in Chrome to make sure there are no JavaScript errors on the web page. Complete this form if you would like us to take a look at your installation.
To remove the “Download” text, add the “title” parameter like this title=” “

To make the dataset dynamic:
Change dataset=”84″ to dataset=[id]For download, use download=”auto” to prompt user to save the PDF locally.
Or, use inline=1 to open the PDF in a browser tab.Let us know if that answers your question(s).

Yes, you can upload your own font. Download and test the free version from WordPress.org to confirm the plugin will work for you.
We remain at your service.
PRO2PDF will not allow for any additional fonts and E2Pdf is only for one site. We are working on expanding E2Pdf to multiple sites, but the option is not available yet.
We can offer a refund for your purchase of the Unlimited Sites, and we can convert your account to a E2Pdf account to one site with unlimited forms.
Let us know how you would like to proceed as we remain at your service.
Use our new plugin E2Pdf, you can upload your desired font.
