Repeatable fields do not currently work with signature, image or field upload fields. If you are not mapping one of the incompatible fields we would need to see the form and field map layout to further troubleshoot the issue as the current version of the function has been tested and found to be working as intended.
If possible, please export the field map layout and attach it to this form, we do not need to login at this time.
We remain at your service.
To provide assistance we will need more information ;
. Are you able to merge the data to the PDF from the Field Map Layout admin page?
. Is the attachment a .txt file or a .pdf file?We remain at your service.
We apologize for this unprecedented delay! We are still trying to fix this ridiculous bug, unfortunately we have not been able to as of yet. The problem is with PDFtk and would require a rewrite of a large part of the plugin. We have not given up our efforts to fix or find a work-around, in fact, we have hired a new developer who began working on the issue yesterday, and we hope to have at least a work-around for you this week.
We remain at your service.
Thank you for using the plugin!
Edit PDF fonts using Adobe Acrobat, PDFEscape.com, or any other Adobe Form editor. (Except LiveCycle)
For checkboxes, you must copy each “Export Value” from your web form to a PDF checkbox “Export Value”, then map the web form’s checkbox field to “each” PDF checkbox field.
**DO NOT USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN FIELD NAMES OR VALUES**
(NOTE: Each pdf checkbox field must have a unique name and export value must match the web form values)More instructions are available here, or if you need more help, we are willing to login and setup a checkbox field on your installation as a guide. Please complete this form if our login service is needed.

Can you or sys admin create a tmp folder off the WP root and make it writable? That will solve the current errors.
Are you able to provide the pdf and a link to the form? Or, if needed we can login, please complete this form if possible… http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/login-support-request/
See the Formidable Forms instructions on setting up Email Actions here… https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/email-notifications/
Then, once your email action and notification is setup to send to the correct admin email address, open the PRO2PDF field map layout and select the email action to attach the PDF to.
Let us know if you need more assistance. We remain at your service.
The bug has been resolved with the latest release which has been uploaded to your installation and confirmed to be working as expected.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, it appears the functionality was lost after a recent update. We are working to fix the issue and will reply as soon as an update is available.
We apologize for the delay, in the meantime, a work-around would be to create and map one checkbox field for each PDF field, however we expect to resolve this issue quickly.
We remain at your service.
Sounds like everything was done correctly, so at this point we would need to take a look at your installation or if that’s not possible then can you provide the PDF form, a link to your web form, and a screenshot for the entire field map layout for further evaluation?
Please complete this form.

Thank you for using the plugin. A refund was issued for order #7948 earlier today. Please let us know if you have not received notification from Paypal.

The number of forms refers to how many formidable forms published on your website can merge to an unlimited number of PDF forms.
For example if users of your site fill out no more than 10 web forms which require PDF outputs then the one site 10 forms would be the version you need.
You are not limited to how many field maps or PDF form outputs each form can do with any version.

We apologize for the lack of assistance in finding your license key, we will add directions to the upgrade form.
You’ll find the key on the PRO2PDF page of the WP dashboard under the “Activated Forms” tab. As well as the original email from support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com.
We remain at your service.
Thank you for trying the plugin! We hope you find it as useful as we do every day!
Your activation code was automatically emailed to the address on file, we will email it again to you directly from support AT formidablepro2pdf DOT com.
You will not need to the Pro version of Formidable Forms if you do not need the Pro features that plugin offers.

Attachments are not created based on the shortcode, the shortcode simply creates a link to the PDF.
For email attachments, you’ll need to create a email notification for each layout and send them based on your conditional logic. Once created, email notifications can be selected/deselected from each of the Field Map Layouts.
We remain at your service.
We apologize for the delayed reply!
Yes, this topic was discussed on this thread… Below are the instructions that were provided on the thread, however, there are other ways to accomplish the desired result, let us know if you would like more assistance…
You’ll need to make the shortcode’s LayoutID dynamic here’s an example where the values of Formidable radio button field [125] are equal to a corresponding LayoutID using the field’s “Use separate values” option…
[formidable-download form="contact2" dataset=[id] layout=[125]]Where the above field [125] is a YES/NO radio button using the “Use separate values” and the YES value is x and the NO value is y; x is the ID of PDF A and y is the ID of PDF B
Or you can make it even more dynamic using a Formidable Conditional Statement like this…
Where the field [125]=YES then layout=xx OR if field [200]=YES then layout=yy
[formidable-download form="contact2" dataset="2128" layout=[if 125 equals="YES"]"xx"[/if 125][if 200 equals="YES"]"yy"[/if 200]]We remain at your service.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration our plugin is causing you! Our primary goal is to be at your service. To that end, our support team is willing to help you build the functionality by providing specific examples of a merge.
While the PRO2PDF plugin is the only plugin supported on this site, we are obviously well versed in Formidable Forms so we are willing help you locate the online doc, and/or offer our suggestions regarding that plugin too.
NOTE: Using the online version of the PRO2PDF plugin with MAMP will not work correctly if PDFtk is not also installed locally. (A full refund is available!) Online, the plugin uses our server for the required PDFtk functionality. Additionally, the “intranet version” of the plugin is also required to unlock the paid version features for offline use.
With the PRO2PDF plugin you/we have the ability to create “Templates” which include the Formidable Form, Field Map Layout, and the PDF Form. If you would like us to help you get started by creating a template based on your PDF form, please upload your PDF Form here. (Login info not required.)
We agree with you about needing more help online, so we will upload a recently made instruction video, and link it to this message thread. The unedited video was made to show subcontractors how to create a merge from beginning to end.
NOTE: It’s a painfully long, and not very formal video… but it will show you exactly how to make a PDF Form, Formidable Form, and a Field Map Layout with checkboxes and radio buttons included.

“clipboard-copy / save their own data as plain text” is possible with the Views function in Formidable Forms. This plugin strictly merges Formidable Form fields to PDF form fields.
However, “reusing that text is to copy all the text to clipboard and paste into new (unfilled) form with one click. Is this possible?“, no we don’t think so… anywhere, with any web form tool – but sounds like a useful idea – let us know if you find something.

That’s not it, the order number is only 4 digits. No worries, what date was the transaction and was it under your name and email address?
There is currently not a way to map two Formidable fields to one PDF field, and have your desired result.
To accomplish the result, we would map another PDF field and place it over the current pdf field on the PDF form, that way whichever field is populated in Formidable, it will show on the PDF, and whichever field is conditionally hidden, will be empty.
Let us know if the above works for you, as we remain at your service.
What is your order number? Your order number is also listed on your Paypal transaction for the purchase of the license.
