1. The shortcode can be fully dynamic, including the current dataset if you change the static id to [id].
2. There are no restrictions in the $2 trial version. We can login to your install to quickly identify the issue if you email login credentials to support at formidablepro2pdf dot com, or email the PDF file and a screenshot of the entire plugin screen with the form, dataset and fieldmap selected, and a link to the Formidable form (if possible) so we can further help with the setup.
Some common issues to check for;
1. Checkbox and Radio Button values are case sensitive.
2. Changing PDF form field names requires the fieldmap to be updated.
3. “Garbage In / Garbage Out” – The selected dataset must contain data in all fields for data to merge to all PDF fields.I logged in and tested both Field Map Layouts and they are working as expected. You may have to wait a few seconds after selecting the Field Map Layout as there are 196 mapped fields that need to load and can causes a timeout, however that issue does not exist when using the shortcode to create the PDFs.
Update the plugin to the latest version to use the new “Formidable: Dataset ID” merge field. The new field is the unique number of each form submission.
Let us know if you need anything else, as we remain at your service.
One day or less.
This post is NOT private, but we do not need to log in to your site as everything seems to be working correctly.
We are now attempting to add the “Current Dataset ID” to the “Webform Data Field ID” dropdown list, which will give you a unique number for each user.
Please give us some time to come up with a solution, I will post an update here soon.
Got it! Thank you for the explanation.
The only other unique value is the Formidable_Entry Key. It will work for you if your “Card Number” can include letters. If not, let us know and we’ll see what else we may be able to add for you.
The only reason “formidable_userid” would be empty is if the form’s user is not logged into the WordPress installation.
Questions for you:
. Is the user logged in?
. Can you see the userid in the Formidable form?If the form user is logged into WordPress and you can see the userid in the Formidable form, we may need to take a look at your installation. If possible, please send temporary credentials to support (at) formidablepro2pdf DOT com.
Yes, the plugin is able to map Formidable’s Dynamic Field.
To see an example, enter your name into the first name field of the this demo, then open this demo to select the name you entered, and test the Dynamic Dropdown located on the right side of the form.
This demo is an example of mapping all Formidable fields.
. Although we would like to support Contact Form 7 in the future, we are not currently working on the intergration.
. Yes, the premium version allows PDFs to be attached to one or more Formidable “Email Actions”. Additionally, each “Email Action” can have multiple TO, CC and BCC addresses. Here’s more info about Formidable’s Email Action
. The plugin is just compatible with the Formidable’s Signature Add-on which is included with Formidable’s Small Business version or can be purchased for $19.00 if you are using the Individual version.We remain at your service.
Due to how the Adobe Acrobat Checkbox Method works, there is no way to map an “unknown value” to a PDF checkbox field because the PDF checkbox field requires a preset “Value” to work.
With that said, here’s a couple of work-arounds we use;
1. Use Formidable’s Conditional Fomatting option to Show/Hide the “OTHER” textbox field when the “OTHER” checkbox is checked. Then, map the Formidable checkbox to the PDF Form’s “OTHER” checkbox field and the Formidable Form’s “OTHER” textbox field to the PDF Form’s “OTHER” textbox field.2. Change the Adobe PDF Checkbox field to a single text box which will display the value from the formidable form checkbox field. (…save a lot of space on your PDF!)
Add inline=1 to the shortcode to open in the browser, instead for the default PDF viewer.
For interanet use you must have the “Unlimited Intranet” version of the plugin.

Sounds like something changed…
. Do any other merge layouts work?
. Can you merge PDFs from the plugin screen?
If yes to any of the above, please provide a screenshot of the shortcode for both forms.
If no to all of the above, we may need to take a look at your installation, if possible please send login credentials to support (at) formidablepro2pdf (DOT) com.There are no hooks or filters, however we do have a custom plugin that contains a filter which can be used to add additional formatting options to merged fields.
We will soon be offering the custom plugin as a paid add-on with premium support, however for now you can be a beta tester… I’ll email the plugin directly to you.

The plugin is not compatible with the Formidable “OTHER” checkbox option – you’ll have to use the old-fashioned conditional hide/show the text file for OTHER to work properly as the “Value” is whatever the user inputs, which can’t be matched to the PDF checkbox “value” for ‘OTHER’.
Your questions are fair.
Regarding installation of the full version of the plugin, we use PDFTK to dynamically fill PDF files, so if you want to install 100% of the service onto your server, your server must have PDFTK installed, PHP shell commands enabled, and the intranet version of the plugin.
Regarding our company, while we are new to offering the plugin to the public, the plugin itself is not new as it has been used in several businesses for years, including the 12-year-old insurance agency owned by the owner of this company.
At this point of five full months old, the plugin has more than enough users to sustain the service indefinitely. Feel free to use the plugin and the service or just the plugin and install the entire service on your server now or anytime in the future.

After one year, if you do not renew the plugin, the number of forms will revert back to one (1) for all plans except the UNLIMITED INTRANET version, which will still be able to use and create unlimited forms but will lose any PRO Updates, PRO Documentation and Premium Support.
We are also offering 2, 3, 4 and 5-year options at 5%,10%, 15% and 25% discounts respectfully.
We remain at your service.
Yes, the Unlimited Intranet for $69 year will allow your private server unlimited use of the plugin and all features with the exception of the Formidable Signature Add-on Plugin integration.
The annual cost would be for updates and premium support. Additional years may also be purchased at 5% off 2-Year, 10% off 3-Year, 15% off 4-Year and 25% off 5-Year upgrades.
Subscriptions include all PRO feature updates, PRO documentation, and premium support.
Yes, the plugin will work for you. Please send an email to support (at) formidablepro2pdf DOT com for private assistance.
You must have found this page…
http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/repeatable-field/This is a question for the heroes over at Formidable Forms.
Update your plugin again to use the two digit year format.
We also added all the other formats listed in the Format dropdown with the following exceptions;
- Signature format not available
- Use the word “label” for the “Show label for Checkboxes/Select/Radio”
Use title=”CLICK HERE” in the shortcode.
See a shortcode example near the bottom of the Repeatable Field page.
I apologize for the delay and the slight miscommunication. I was incorrect, the two digit year has not yet been added, the current fix is to change the format to a four digit year, like this… [103:mm/dd/yyyy]
We will add the two digit year on the next update. Let me know if the four digit year it works for you.
Oops! My mistake. I didn’t realize we hadn’t posted the update yet. Please check for the update now, and let us know if all is working as expected.
Did you update the plugin?
