Great news!
The Formidable discussion was marked private. Can you post there that all is well?
We remain at your service.
We were able to successfully create this form with a checkbox, radio button, and dropdown list all with separate values and this PDF Field Map Layout merge to the demo provided with the plugin. See merge example here.
We were unable to locate any fields in the Consent Form or the Demographics form that were set to use separate values. Please provide a link to the FormidablePro.com support thread so that we may better understand the issue you are experiencing.

No activation key is required for the free version. Our 30-day trial version will unlock all features of the plugin.

Happy to assist! We use the separate values function all the time and have not experienced the issue you are referring to, we would need to login to your installation to troubleshoot the cause. Please complete this form to provide access.

Please complete this form or provide a screenshot of the Activated Forms tab and the Settings tab so that we may further investigate the issue.

Also, check the Demo Merge included with the plugin for an example of both checkbox and radio button merges.

Checkboxes:
Radio Buttons: http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/radio-buttons-field/For Checkboxes…
Name each PDF Checkbox = Unique Name
Each PDF Checkbox Export Value = An (exact) value from your Formidable Checkbox field (copy/paste for 100% accuracy) (*No Special Characters*)
Map Each PDF Checkbox field name to the one (1) Formidable Checkbox field name (If you have 5 checkbox options, you will have 5 field mappings to one Formidable checkbox field)
————–
For Radio Buttons…
Name each PDF Radio Button = Same (exact) Name (copy/paste for 100% accuracy)
Each PDF Radio Button Export Value = One (1) Value from the Formidable Radio Button field (copy/paste for 100% accuracy)
Map the one (1) PDF Radio Button field name to the one (1) Formidable Radio Button field (If you have 5 PDF radio buttons with the same name, you will only have one (1) field mapping to the Formidable radio button field)Here’s the long version… checkboxes and radio buttons
Let us know if you are able to create a successful merge.

Check for any other field map layouts that have email attachment selected for the same form and uncheck the email attachment function.
If no other field map layout exists, we may need to examine your installation. If possible, please complete this form to allow us to check the issue directly.

Please complete this form if we are able to login to your installation to troubleshoot the issue, as we are not able to reproduce the error on our side.

Optionally, you may “preview” the Formidable Form data with HTML formatting prior to merging with the PDF file.

Adobe does not provide a method to preview -AND- restrict downloading. Once you can ‘see’ the pdf, you can download it. However you may consider using a watermark for ‘Preview’ and remove the watermark when emailed.

Try creating a new view (doc-list) with the same ‘multiple shorcodes’ that are in the modal form, filter ‘doc-list’ so the shortcodes work with ‘doc-list’, then replace the PRO2PDF shortcodes in the modal form with shortcode to the new ‘doc-list’ view.
This may cause the modal form to only open one object, the ‘doc-list’ view, rather than each of the PRO2PDF shortcodes.
We remain at your service.
What is the shortcode in the modal form?
Check the app store for any pdf viewers, we don’t have any suggestions. Please post here if you find an option.
We remain at your service.
Have you tried creating a view to filter the entry and generate the shortcode, then use the view in the modal form? Not sure it will fix your issue, we would need to see your configuration to make specific recommendations.
If able, please complete this form to allow us access to your WP installation. https://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/login-support-request/
The simple dropdown may be used to dynamically create the shortcode, however, may not be used as the origin of the shortcode due how the special characters in the shortcode interact with the form’s code.
We’re not sure how to accomplish your task without dynamically creating the shortcode or using conditional statements.
We remain at your service.
You must create a dynamic shortcode in the view, one or two ways or a combination of the two.
1) Using Formidable’s field shortcodes, like this…
[formidable-download form=[111] layout=[222] dataset=[id]]
Where 111 and 222 are fields from your form.2) Or, using Conditionals to create some or all of the shortcodes, like this…
—This example would provide links to three forms if fieldID 111 was a checkbox with three selections, “i-9”, “W-4”, and “A-4”. Also, the file name is dynamic to be unique for each entry based on the user first and last name fields—
[if 111 like=”I-9″][formidable-download form=”oqzilp” dataset=[id] layout=”1001″ title=[333] filename='[321][322]_I-9′][/if 111] [if 111 not_like=”I-9″]—[/if 111]
[if 111 like=”W-4″][formidable-download form=”oqzilp” dataset=[id] layout=”1003″ title=[201] filename='[321][322]_W-4′][/if 111] [if 111 not_like=”W-4″]—[/if 111]
[if 111 like=”A-4″][formidable-download form=”oqzilp” dataset=[id] layout=”1002″ title=[215] filename='[321][322]_A-4′][/if 111] [if 111 not_like=”A-4″]—[/if 111]

Optionally, we are able to create your view for you, with search and sort capabilities, inexpensively. If interested, please complete this customization quote request form.

We have not experienced any issues with iPad using Safari, while we have many users with iPads, we do not have the capability to test with Mac. Are there any other PDF apps that can be added to the iPad?

Select “Enable field previews in the Field Map Designer” under the Settings tab of the plugin’s admin page to view a picture of the pdf in the right half of the mapping screen.
Be advised: This function is not advised for large field map layouts.
Set the dataset parameter to dataset=[id]. That will cause the ‘current’ record ID to populate in place of the [id].
We remain at your service.
Sounds like the shortcode is not correctly referencing the dataset ID. Please paste a screenshot of the shortcode in the On Submit message box.

Unique filenames may be generated by using the shortcode in the body of the email message with the filename parameter, which will allow users to click to download the uniquely named PDF. Unique filenames cannot be “attached” to the email.

This is a question for the great support staff at Formidable Forms. They will likely point you to the new Lookup Field.
