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]

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.

We are currently working on locating the conflict, once found, we will provide an update.

Happy to hear you got it!
Correct, PDF fields are not compatible with HTML. You only have spaces to work with.

“repeats aren’t going to the next line line in your demo”
Press enter on the keyboard after your field id shortcodes to add a line space below the fields in the format box, like this…
[232][323]
<-----(Enter and empty line space here)---->
|<-----(Cursor should be blinking down here)---->See the screenshot on the repeatable field page for more information.

Lookup fields have been tested today on our server and are confirmed to work as expected within repeating sections using both the repeatable and repeatable (separate fields) formats.
We are willing to login and take a look at your mapping if you complete this form. If not possible, then please email the PDF Form and a complete screenshot of the field map layout with the form, a dataset and the layout selected to support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com.
We remain at your service.
Use Formidable’s “Email Notifications” function to setup two email actions, then use the instructions above for attaching the PDF.
We remain at your service.
From the Field Map Layout – with the form and layout selected – deselect the Email Action(s) that you don’t want to send with the PDF attached.

The issue has been found to be an unknown conflict with the WooCommerce Helper plugin.
A couple of questions;
. Are you actively using and need the plugin?
. Have there been any modifications or customizations done to your WooCommerce Helper plugin installation, or is the plugin all ‘original’ code?We remain at your service.
Thank you. We may also need access to the WP Plugins page to troubleshoot the issue, however, we will wait for your authorization before accessing the page.

We replied to your email regarding this issue on Aug. 22, 2016. Here’s the message…
Two issues were found;
Regarding “Fiche client_V2.5 PP psw.pdf”, the PDF document has no PDF form fields. Add PDF form fields using Adobe Acrobat, PDF Escape or any other Adobe PDF form field creator, except LiveCycle.
Regarding both files, do not use periods (.) in the file name as this causes unexpected results. We have renamed and re-uploaded the “Fiche client_ P Morale psw v4.1.pdf” file to “Fiche client_ P Morale psw v4-1.pdf” and all works as expected, see here: http://devetfinances.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fpdf&wpfx_form=frtzs&wpfx_layout=1003&wpfx_dataset=49

No, that message is not at all familiar… Try an uninstall and reinstall of the plugin. If the reinstall does not correct the issue, we may require access to provide support. We are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement, if needed, please complete the login support request form.

Please provide more specifics about the infographic, email screenshots or links to support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com.

Thank you, we are still reviewing the images.
Question: With the same form, dataset and layout selected in this image (https://www.dropbox.com/s/tv94vd9mdg6f0yn/exporttab.tiff?dl=0) what happens when you click the EXPORT button?

The user ID question is one for the Formidable Forms plugin (https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/), but it sounds like the UserID is working correctly, you’ll need to use the UserID shorcode like this if you want to show the username instead of the ID: [125 show=”user_login”]. More information is here: https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/shortcodes/#kb-userid-shortcodes

Thank you. We also need a screenshot of the Demo Form’s “Settings” page “On Submit” message box and a screenshot of the PRO2PDF “Settings” tab and “Under the Hood” tab.

1. The PDF may be created on demand by passing the user’s entry ID as a URL parameter to the “registration complete page” where you’ll put a Formidable View shortcode exactly where you want he download link to go. See this how to use the shortcode in a page or post…
2. Use the plugin’s shortcode parameter download=”auto” to automatically start the download. Optional parameters are available here to view in browser window, flatten the file, change the filename and much more.
We remain at your service.
Place the shortcode in the Formidable Form’s On Submit message box. Change the dataset=xx parameter to dataset=[id] to link to the current entry id.
If you would like us to login and setup the link, please complete this form. Or, send us a screenshot of the Form’s On Submit Message Box as well as the PRO2PDF “Export” tab with the form, dataset and layout selected and include at least the first field mapping to support At formidablepro2pdf DOT com.

We are happy to help. Yes, the message you are receiving means you are using the free version and will only be able to merge data from one Formidable Form to a PDF form, but any number of times.
Regarding the link, sounds like you may not be using the shortcode correctly in or in the correct location(s). If we can login to your WP site, we’ll setup the demo so you’ll have a working model if you complete this login support request form. Or, we can try to help offline if you forward screen shots of where you have the shortcode and a screenshot of the PRO2PDF Export tab with the Formidable Form, Dataset, and Layout selected.
