1. Which program was used to create the PDF form you uploaded? Was it Adobe LiveCycle or another program? FYI, the plugin is not compatible with LiveCycle forms.
2. Under the settings page, “Enable local PDFTK” should not be checked.Other than the above issue, no other known causes exist. We are happy to login and take a look, complete this form if needed.
We remain at your service.
We have resolved the issue and released an update. Please update the plugin to fix your installation.
We thank you for your request, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we remain at your service.
Yes you are correct, thank you for letting us know! After receiving your update we checked and it does appear the feature stopped working after the last update. We will fix and update the plugin as soon as possible.
In the meantime, a work-around can be achieved with this javascipt (Copy and concatenate field values) from Formidable’s site…
We apologize for the issue and are working to resolve the matter quickly.

Are you mapping the Formidable Form checkbox field to a PDF checkbox or a PDF text field?
If mapping to a PDF Checkbox Field, the PDF checkbox field value must match the Formidable checkbox label. NOTE: values are case sensitive.
Try mapping to a PDF text field to see which merged value you receive…
If needed, we are available to login to your installation and map a checkbox field as an example. Complete this form if login is needed.

Thanks! This is an interesting one… Have you tried disabling the Create a Post function to see it that is the cause? I’m not sure we’ve ever tested that particular function with a merge.
If disabling fixes the issue, a quick work-around would be to add a hidden field and a bit of javascript from Formidable’s site to copy the contents of the “Agency Name” field to the hidden field, and then map your PDF to the hidden field.
Alternatively, complete this form to have us login and test the issue.

Issue resolved with latest plugin release. Now working with more than 30 signatures on one merged pdf form…
“Enable Secure Links” adds a security key to the link resulting from the shortcode, which prevents users from changing the link to access other data entries, forms, or layouts.
Use the “Allow downloads only for roles” or the “Allow downloads only for user IDs” features to restrict user access. Both features can be set for each field map layout that you create. The setting are located on the Field Map Layout just above the field mappings.
Let us know if you need further assistance with your request. We remain at your service.
Yes, in the PRO version, there is a parameter to “Flatten” the pdf, which disables the form fields – or not. By default the fields are left editable in both the free and paid versions, just like our all-fields demo.

Reading your request, it appears you want to upload and edit the PDF’s online. If so, there is no plugin able to accomplish such a task, this would require a system similar to Adobe’s LiveCycle.
Automatic field map creation (for admin users) is a built-in function on the Field Map Layout screen when the pdf field name matches the Formidable Form field_key. With the exception of multi-select list fields, and repeatable sections which require manual mapping.
It may be possible to create a customized front-end solution, if needed, complete this form to have us review the request. (http://wp.me/P67GUo-1iw)

After you create one field map layout, you can just DUPLICATE it by clicking the duplicate button at the bottom of the layout. Then, change the field mappings and email action to match the next row of data.
Again, this will be a glorious use of the plugin!
Thinking this through, you’ll need to create an email action and a field map layout for each row.
1. For each email action – Set up the “TO:” email address and students data in the body to match one row of data.
2. For each field map layout – Select a corresponding email action.When you’re done, you’ll have a form with 15 rows, 15 email actions and 15 field map layouts that will all trigger when you hit submit.
It will be glorious!
Yes, absolutely… with this plugin you may attach a merged PDF to one or multiple form email actions, and Formidable’s email actions can be set to conditionally send based on form data.
You could have one email sent for each of the 15 rows, each with unique data merged into an attached PDF.
Exactly what you described. Let us know if you need help setting this up, we remain at your service.
PING!
Were you able to find and fix the issue?

Please be advised, we have not experienced any issues as you’ve described, your request has been sent to our senior developer, please allow 1-2 days for a reply.
Does the merge work from the Field Map Layout page?
Delete any unused Field Map Layouts for the same form.
Please provide a screenshot of the complete File Map Layout screen with the Form and Layout selected.
Thank you for using our plugin!
Your activation key was emailed to the address provided (g***@any***test***.com) We will send a direct email to you too.

Please verify the following;
1) Your PDF form already has PDF form fields. (Our plugin does not edit or ‘create’ pdf forms, we map and merge Formidable fields to PDF Form fields.)2.) You have submitted data to the Formidable Form at least once. (Required for the Field Map Layout screen to recognize the Formidable form fields.)
If the above is verified and you are still unable to edit the field map, please email a complete screenshot of the Field Map Layout screen with the desired Formidable Form and Layout selected to support (at) formidablepro2pdf DOT com for further assistance.

We are sorry the plugin was not able to be used in your project. A full refund has been issued, we remain at your service.
We strive to provide the WP community with a universally useful tool, could you let us know which functionality or element(s) are needed or missing from the plugin?
Apologies! It’s working now, complete this form.
We have not experienced a “Error Establishing Database Connection” in the past. If possible, we’d like to login to your WP installation and take a look, and because this appears to be database issue, we may also need FTP access. If okay to login, complete this form, if not okay, then please ask your hosting provider to run a check on the MySQL database for any errors, then let us know the results.

Does the demo form work? Is your PDF Form a LiveCycle form?
An immediate workaround is with a confirmation from the user to use (map) the same Formidable signature field for each of the PDF signature fields, as it is likely the number of signatures is causing a timeout that will not be easily fixed.
However, we are unable to login to your server using /wp-admin/, please reply with the correct url for your WP login screen and we’ll take a look.
Additionally, we use Formidable Hooks to combine text fields, see here: https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/frm_validate_field_entry/#kb-combine-multiple-fields-into-one-field
