adminKeymaster
Thank you, we also need a screenshot of the Formidable form’s On Submit Message Box where you have the PRO2PDF shortcode.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThe error could be one of several issues… We need more information in order to determine the origin.
. Are you able to export a merged PDF form from the plugin’s EXPORT tab?
. Do you have more than one field map layout created for the Formidable form? If so, are they all working, if not, you should delete or correct all non-working field maps.Complete this form if you’d like us to take a look, or reply with screenshots of the entire field map layout and the Formidable form’s On Submit Message Box for further review.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterHere’s an overview…
. Create a Formidable Form and add the fields required that match your PDF, the form will be completed by your web users.
. Upload your PDF form (with Adobe form fields) to the plugin’s Export tab. NOTE: If you name the PDF form fields the same as the Formidable form fields or the same as the Formidable Form keys, then you can take advantage of the Auto Mapping setting found on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
. If you do not use the auto-mapping feature, then create the field map layout by manually selecting the fields to map on the plugin’s EXPORT tab.
Here a step-by-step demo video to help you. We also offer low cost services to create a complete template for you which includes the Formidable Form, PDF Form, and Field Map Layout. Complete this form if you would like us to provide you with an estimate.

adminKeymasterThis issue was resolved with an update in 2016. What version of the plugin are you using? If it’s up-to-date, then it’s possible you have a unique installation. Complete this form to have us take a look.

January 11, 2018 at 10:58 pm in reply to: one form to complete multiple pdfs using conditional logic #17604adminKeymasterOptionally, you may keep the attachment option by setting up different email notifications for each type of application, then use the email notification’s conditional logic to control which email to send. However, the first option would be faster.

January 11, 2018 at 10:55 pm in reply to: one form to complete multiple pdfs using conditional logic #17603adminKeymasterThere is no way to use conditional logic on PDf attachments, however, you may disable attachments for all Field Map Layouts, then you can use conditional logic in the body of email notification(s) to determine which link is displayed.

adminKeymasterThank you for the heads up, however, the support thread is marked “PRIVATE”. Are you able to past the relevant info here? Are you referring to Formidable 3.0 or a different update to the signature add-on plugin?
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThe Formidable form MUST save the data before the user can ‘preview’ the PDF. There is no out-of-the-box or built-in method to accomplish your desired functionality. This will require custom programming that we have completed for other users for a reasonable fee. Complete this form if you would like us to provide you with an offer.
Here’s on overview of how this functionality may be accomplished;
. Create a duplicate of the WooCommerce product and change the “Add to Cart” button to “Next”, and change the Formidable form “On Submit” to redirect to the duplicate product and send the Formidable entry_id as a parameter.
. Create a Formidable form to “preview” the original form submission on the duplicated product page using Formidable’s Get a Value from an Entry shortcode to populate hidden fields and a HTML field to preview the text, or display a Formidable View with a “Preview” button. Or, we have also created an image with text overlay and watermark to simulate a preview of the PDF to avoid the user leaving the site to ‘preview’ the document.A download link could be added to the WooCommerce Email Notifications with PHP code to generate a PRO2PDF download link the WooCommerce “Completed Order” and “Processing order” Email notifications. This will require custom development.

adminKeymasterWe are running PHP version: 5.6.30 and are not planning on upgrading at this time. However, we are going to release a new (replacement) version of PRO2PDF, called e2Pdf, in March 2018. The new version is using the latest PHP release.

adminKeymasterAlso, make sure the “Use local PDFtk” is not selected on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.

adminKeymasterIf the signature has worked in the past, then check to make sure “SIGNATURE” is selected in the field map layout’s FORMAT dropdown field. If the FORMAT dropdown is missing then the plugin has reverted to the free version.
Let us know the status of the FORMAT dropdown.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThe signature plugin is working on all our sites as expected and there are no known issues. We are not familiar with a ‘serialize’ message or error. Are you able to provide a screenshot of the error?
Check the plugin’s SETTINGS tab that the “Enable local PDFTK” option is not checked. If not checked and the signature is not merging, we are happy to take a look at your installation if you complete this form. Otherwise provide us with more information and we’ll try to help you troubleshoot the issue you are having.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterPDFtk is not required if you have purchased the pro version. Uncheck the “Enable local PDFTK” checkbox on the plugin’s SETTINGS tab.
Are you able to export from the EXPORT tab after selecting the Form, Dataset, and Field Map Layout? If not, what is the error you are receiving?
Complete this form if you’d like us to take a look at your installation.

December 21, 2017 at 10:14 pm in reply to: Split Form Field Values into multiple fields in PDF #17542adminKeymasterYes, there was an update to the plugin, update from the WP plugins tab.
We remain at your service.
December 21, 2017 at 11:46 am in reply to: Split Form Field Values into multiple fields in PDF #17540adminKeymasterWe have updated the plugin to accept this hook in functions.php or code snippet. Just change the commented value below…
add_filter('fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields', 'fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields_updated', 10, 2); function fpropdf_wpfx_extract_fields_updated($fields, $entry) { if (isset($entry->form_id) && $entry->form_id == '9') { //change 9 to the Form ID $exploded = array(); foreach ($fields as $key => $field) { $index = $field[0]; $value = $field[1]; if ($index == 'm9hvnr') { //change m9hvnr to the name of the 1st PDF form field $exploded = explode(",", $value); //change , to the data separator used in the Formdiable Form Field if (isset($exploded['0'])) { $fields[$key][1] = $exploded['0']; } } } foreach ($fields as $key => $field) { $index = $field[0]; $value = $field[1]; if ($index == '2ebjab') { //change 2ebjab to the name of the 2nd PDF form field if (isset($exploded['1'])) { $fields[$key][1] = $exploded['1']; } } } } return $fields; }
adminKeymasterChange the shortcode’s dataset=xx parameter to dataset=[id]
EXAMPLE
CHANGE: [formidable-download form="bxo68" dataset="5630" layout="94"]
TO: [formidable-download form=”bxo68″ dataset=[id] layout=”94″]We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThere are unfinished, unused, abandoned, or non-working field map layout(s) for the same form that also have email attachment checked. Go through all other field map layouts for the same form and uncheck the email attachment option.
Or better yet, delete all unused field map layouts by selecting the layout – scroll to the bottom of the layout and click “Delete Entire Field Map”.
We remain at your service.
adminKeymasterThere are no known issues with merging hidden fields to PDFs, we merge hidden fields daily in our own forms…
If you are using conditional logic to hide the Dropdown field, that would cause the hidden field to be blank… other than that, the hidden field data should merge.
Use this form if you are able to provide a link to the form, or create a PRO2PDF template of the merge, or access to the installation so that we may further investigate.
We remain at your service.
December 18, 2017 at 7:50 am in reply to: Split Form Field Values into multiple fields in PDF #17525adminKeymasterThere are no options in Formidable to split the values of a field, therefore there are no options in PRO2PDF. You would need to use javascript or PHP to split the values into hidden fields before saving the entry, then map the hidden fields to the PDF fields. We do not offer Javascript or PHP support.

adminKeymasterFormidable’s “other option” will only work if you merge to a PDF text field, not to a PDF radio button because there’s is no way to ‘match’ random user’s input to a PDF radio button.
The work-around is to use Formidable’s conditional logic to show/hide a Formidable Text Field and call it “other”. This will select the “other” PDF Radio Option and fill the PDF’s “other” text field.

adminKeymasterTake a look at this PDFEscape demo, make sure not only the field “Name” but also the “Value” matches EXACTLY.

adminKeymasterWordpress does not display PDF files, you can use the PRO2PDF shortcode(s) in the Formidable Form’s “On-Submit Message Box” and include the desired shortcode parameters to download or automatically display the PDF in a new browser tab, but not “on a WordPress page”.
