Create three mappings using the Formidable: Dynamic setting found at the bottom of the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown on the field map layout along with PHP date function like this… change [123] to your date field;

1st Field Map, for “DAY” we use…
[123 format=”jS”]
(Where ‘j’ is the number date without leading zeros and ‘S’ provides the letters “st”, “nd”, “rd”)

2nd Field Map, for “MONTH” we use…
[123 format=”F”]
(Where ‘F’ provides the full month in words)

3rd Field Map, for “YEAR” we use…
[123 format=”Y”]
(Where ‘Y’ provides the four digit year)

Our apologies, however we have located a bug that may have been introduced in a prior update. The good news is we have found a work-around, and tested it on the applicant’s Annual Income, Net Worth and Liquid Net Worth form fields.

The workaround…
1. PDF fields that are to be populated by a Formidable dropdown (or radio button) fields are currently PDF “checkbox” fields, they must be changed to PDF “radio button” fields.
2. To duplicate PDF checkbox fields: You must uniquely name the duplicate PDF radio button field and map both PDF fields to the one Formidable button field.

Plugin update…
We will work on an update to fill all duplicate PDF radio button and checkbox fields based on a single mapping, and to work with PDF checkboxes the same as PDF radio buttons. NOTE: PDFs handle checkbox fields differently than radio buttons fields, however, we should be able to make them work the same.

Let us know if you have any issues correcting the (co-acct) fields, as we remain at your service.

We found a couple of issues and are working on completing your form, we’ll reply again once we are done.

1. Regarding PDF size: Use Acrobat’s “Combine Files” option and just add the one PDF form, the resulting file will be the smallest possible size.
NOTE: To further shrink the file size;
. You can also try shrinking the images in the PDF with Photoshop, before using the Combine Files option.
. You can also try shrinking the original PDF by limiting the number of fonts in the document, currently you have 30+- embedded fonts which is taking up 1.4mb, and they cannot be reduced, only removed.

2. Great news!

3. Correct, you must enter a unique name for each PDF signature field, then merge the Formidable signature field to each PDF signature. That’s the only way.

Regarding PDF link speed: The remaining delay is caused by the PDF file size and merging the 10 signature fields… You can try lowering the signature field’s multiplier… check Formidable Form’s support docs for how.

It’s a timeout issue caused by the following;

1. Size matters… The size of the uploaded PDF form is 2.58mb, we were able to shrink it to 2.07mb using Adobe Acrobat and have uploaded it to your site.

2. There are two field map layouts that are trying to send email attachments. Un-check the email actions, or just delete the field map that you are not using.

3. There are 10+ signatures that are being merged to the PDF which takes a considerable amount of time. We suggest NOT sending the PDFs as attachments, but rather send a link to the PDF in the body of the email using the PRO2PDF shortcode.

To speed up the design of field map layouts, we strongly recommend;

1. Using copy/paste from Formidable form field names to PDF form field names prior to creating field map layouts, which automates the creation of the field map layout, and greatly reduces the time to just seconds.

2. For large forms, disable the “Enable field previews in the Field Map Designer” option on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.

Let us know if you need any clarification regarding the issues above, or further assistance with the plugin.

You can setup a Formidable Email Notification, and select the Email Notification in the PRO2PDF Field Map Layout, to accomplish the described functionality.

You do not need to remove the old PDF, only upload the revised PDF with the same file name which will overwrite the old PDF.

Nonetheless, what you’ve done will not cause the Dropdown list to disappear. The dropdown only disappears when the PDF does not have form fields. Double-check your PDF on the server for the form field…

Complete this form if you would like us to take a look at the installation, or upload the exact same PDF to us for review here.

When this happens, the only option is to choose the “Unicode” option under the “Language support:” field on the Field Map Layout – or migrate to our new plugin called E2Pdf.

Yes. PRO2PDF can merge an uploaded image using Formidable’s File Upload Field and/or an image from a URL with Formidable’s Website/URL field.
