The folder that should be writable is /tmp folder . It’s a standard folder where temporary files can be stored. Please verify that it is writable by the server.
adminKeymasterI should mention that you can also map to PDF form Radio Buttons, Checkboxes and Dropdown lists.
adminKeymasterPRO2PDF is currently limited to 165 fields per field map layout, however, you can map two layouts per shortcode into one PDF Form allowing users a total of 330 fields per PDF.
24 Drag & Drop field types refers to the fields available in Formidable. Nearly all fields are able to be mapped to a text field in your PDF form – with the exception of the File Upload field type.
adminKeymasterIf I understand your question correctly, yes, the plugin will do as you require.
To confirm, Formidable and PRO2PDF will allow you to create and map online webforms to PDF forms, which can be emailed On Submit and/or On Update of the form.
If not correct, please provide a step-by-step example of the workflow.
adminKeymasterAll should be working as expected. Please double check all and let us know if there are any issues.
adminKeymasterField label can now be accessed by using the following [FIELD_ID:label]
So for your field it would be [296:label] for the label and [296] for the stored field value.
adminKeymasterYou should find the issue has been resolved. Your server was not saving the PDF properly so a coding change was necessary.
We remain at your service.
Thank you for using PRO2PDF!
adminKeymaster1. Still working on this one…
2. Simply hit enter after entering the fieldID like this…
[296] (hit enter to add a carriage return)
See here… http://128.199.70.101/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpfx_generate&form=v2k5w9&layout=23&dataset=537&format=pdf&inline=1adminKeymasterCan you send temporary login credentials for your WP site to support at formidablepro2pdf dot com? If not, then from the PRO2PDF screen, please select the Formidable Form, a dataset and the layout then click the EXPORT button and let me know if the correct dataset merges into the PDF form. If that works, then send me a link to the form that has the shortcode in the On Submit message which provides the “DOWNLOAD” link, and I will attempt to troubleshoot without a login.
adminKeymasterIf a temp login is not possible, please provide a screen shot of the entire PRO2PDF field map screen and the Formidable Form => Settings => Message screen.
adminKeymasterSounds like you need to replace dataset=”xx” with dataset=[id]. Can you send a temporary login to WP? support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com
adminKeymasterYou just need to add ID inside the dataset brackets after you paste the shortcode and it will work. Your shortcode should look like this;
[formidable-download form=”v2k5w9″ dataset=[id] layout=”23″]
Great video! Thanks! May we use it on the site to explain the repeatable fields?
adminKeymasterIf changing the multiplier does not fix the issue, please send a temporary WP login to support at formidablepro2pdf dot com, and we’ll take a look at what’s causing the image to get cut off.
adminKeymasterCan you change the multiplier for signature fields and let me know if that changes anything? A higher multiplier will create a clearer signature the default multiplier is 5.
functions.php
add_filter(‘frm_sig_multiplier’, ‘change_sig_multiplier’, 20, 3);
function change_sig_multiplier($multiplier, $field, $value){
if ( $field->id == 171 ) {//Change 171 to the ID of your signature field
$multiplier = 10;
}
return $multiplier;
}adminKeymasterThe support forum is currently open to all users and does not require a login. Until that changes, we take private communications offline through email: support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com
How can we help?
adminKeymasterThe demo is for the current version of Formidable. The shortcode should be placed in the Formidable Form | SETTINGS TAB | Messages | On Submit (you can also put the shortcode in the On Update message)
If you still can’t find it please email a temporary login to your server and we’ll make it work for you. Send to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com
adminKeymasterDo you have PDFTK installed on your server with PHP shell commands enabled?
adminKeymasterUnfortunately and regrettably, we can not restore the layout or field map. I apologize.
Upon closer examination, I was incorrect about the number of fields limit. We made a setting adjustment on your installation, however there is a WordPress limitation of 165 fields. (See here for similar issue: http://sevenspark.com/wordpress/menu-item-limit)
To cut a long story short, the max_input_vars variable value must be increased to 5000 or more.
Technical details:
Field map information was restricted to 60 KB maximum. This issue is fixed on your installation and will be released for others upon the next update. However, mapping one field corresponds to 6 PHP variables. Most servers, including yours, allows up to 1000 variables (PHP “max_input_vars” setting). So, we can only save 1000 / 6 = 165 fields per layout on yours, and most other servers.That said, PRO2PDF Contribute Version allows for two datasets per shortcode, which would be a total of 330 fields per PDF form. In your case, the limit for “ratliff_employment” is 165 and the limit for the second field map “new_job_setup” is also 165…
While we are considering adding javascript to handle larger amounts, such an addition would require timely rewriting of parts of the plugin.
adminKeymasterAccess to wordpress.
adminKeymasterYes, repeatable form fields are a feature available in the PRO version by selecting “Repeatable” from the FORMAT dropdown in the Field Map Designer which then produces a “Repeatable Formatting…” text area where you can add the field ID [xxxx] and any other text or character – the plugin does the rest.
adminKeymasterHave you updated to the latest version which disables the highlighted image feature?
Regarding data recovery, there are no “revisions” module such as posts/pages, however, we’d need access to look in the database to check if the data is lost or just hidden…
There are no limits to the number mapped fields, however, that said… 270 fields may be a few more than we are working with on any of our forms. Can you email a temp login to your server? (support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com) If not, then please forward your pdf form and let us know about your hosting, (shared or private) and we’ll recreate the map on our side – or find the issue in doing so.
adminKeymasterThis issue is corrected by cleaning up the field map layouts. Any layout with “Attach PDF to Email notifications” marked as YES will send the associated pdf. Duplicates can cause undesired results.
adminKeymasterThe field value of the Formidable Checkbox and the export value of the PDF file must match. If they do and you’re still experiencing an issue, please email a temporary login to (support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com) so that we may use to check your setup. Or, if that is not possible, please email your pdf file to us, and we’ll make it work on our test site – then provide you with temporary login access for your review.
adminKeymasterThe full version of the plugin only works online through our API. To use the plugin offline you’ll need to install PDFTK on your server and PHP shell commands must also be enabled.
adminKeymasterYour license has been updated accordingly, and we are working on correcting the issue for other users going forward. Thank you for letting us know about the issue.
