Existing form yes, but not without creating a Field Map Layout. However, Field Map Layouts may be automatically generated by selecting “Enable automated layout creation for new field maps” from the plugin’s SETTINGS tab and naming the PDF form fields the same as the Formidable Form fields (or the Formidable ‘key’).
We also offer our services here on Fiverr.com to create the field map for you.

Done. Update your plugin to the latest version to use formidable field shortcodes in the Field Map Layout Default Password text box.

Sounds like you may need to use the “Comb” field format in the PDF, or hidden fields in the Formidable Form, or possibly some custom javascript code.
Are you able to send an example PDF form to support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com for evaluation?

The date format is set with the Field Map Layout’s “FORMAT” dropdown… Select “DATE” then select “dd/mm/yyyy”.
Let us know if more assistance is required as we remain at your service.
The “FORMAT” dropdown is not enabled in the free version, in this case use a regular single line text field and place “dd/mm/yyyy” in the fields description to prompt uses to enter text in the correct format.
Sounds like you need to select the “Use as Dataset Name?” radio button on the left side of the Field Map Layout before saving the field map as shown in the demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOA-rGyv-js&feature=youtu.be&t=133
Let us know in detail if this was not the cause if the issue you are having with the field map layout.
Regarding spending time creating the field map… Time is better spent naming the PDF field names the same as the Formidable field name (or field keys) and using the “Enable automated layout creation for new field maps” found on the Settings tab to automatically generate the field map layout.

If you are sure the entry has data in the field, then we may need to take a look at your installation as yours would be the first issue we’ve had with the new feature. If possible, please complete this form to provide access.
If not possible, try testing the function with a new form and new field map layout and let us know the results.

Is [xxx] a Single Line Text, Paragraph, Radio Button, Dropdown, Signature, Section, HTML, or one of the others?
What type of field is [xxx]?

Sounds like the merge is failing, but the error message may not be accurate.
Did the Demo ever work on your server, if so, what was changed from then to now? If the plugin has never worked, we may need to take a look at your installation to be sure there is not a server-side issue. If possible, please complete this form to allow us to check your installation.
If not possible, try testing by removing all merge fields from the Field Map Layout except one name field. If the merge still fails, email support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com the screenshots of the Export Tab (with the first three dropdowns selected to export a pdf), Activated Forms tab, and the Under the Hood tab.

Sounds like you need to correct the dataset parameter to dataset=[id] to generate a PDF with the current entry.
Please paste your shortcode here for further assistance or provide additional information for evaluation.

No new settings, it just works when “do not store entry” is selected. Add the download=”auto” parameter to the shortcode.
We apologize for the delayed reply, however, we added this feature in our last update a couple of days ago. Update the PRO2PDF plugin to begin using the new feature.
Let us know if you experience any issue or if all is not as expected. We remain at your service.
PRO2PDF does not, however, Formidable Forms does and PRO2PDF can merge those to PDF forms.
Let us know if there is something specific we need to add to our plugin. We remain at your service.
FYI – We have added dynamic filename functionality to the Field Map Layout. You may now enter Formidable field shortcodes as well as static text into the “PDF file name in e-mails:” text box located just below the “Attach file to Email notifications” option on each field map layout.
Update your plugin to acquire the functionality. We remain at your service.

Thank you for the suggestion, we are looking into adding this feature, we will update you again soon.

There is not currently a way to dynamically change the emailed filename. We will look at this one more time to see if a solution is possible and get back to you.

To correct, we mapped the first PDF Checkbox (Patient Is) and the first PDF Radio Button (Sex) and corrected the field map layout as follows…
. Changed PDF Checkbox Export Values to match Formidable Form checkbox values.
. Changed PDF Radio Button Choices to match Formidable Form radio button values.
. Changed the names of ALL the PDF Radio Button Field options in the group to the same name.
. Mapped the one PDF Radio Button Group Name to the Formidable Radio Button field.Now, all works as expected.

This sounds like an issue for the outstanding support team at Formidable Forms. Or, try switching to a SMTP plugin to see if that fixes the issue.
