Our apologies Tom, all the messages from this forum ended up in a pending folder – the issue is resolved. Please let me know if you still need assistance.
Our apologies Ray, it these messages ended up in a pending folder and I did not see them. We are available to help, if you are still unable to create PDF’s, the plugin works very well!
Thanks for using the PRO2PDF support forum – save 10% on any unlimited use version with this code at purchase “forum10“.
We have added plugin options for, Unlimited Sites for $99, Unlimited Forms for $99, or Unlimited Sites & Forms for $169.
Functionality and support for the Formidable Pro Signature add-on is available in the PRO version of our plugin. You can test drive the PRO version for $2, which is applied to your upgrade. Click here for the PRO version of Formidable PRO2PDF.
We’ll create a $99 license that will be unlimited sites/forms – should be available by the end of business today.
Repeatable Form Field is a function 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.
Do you have the PRO version installed?
Formatting options and the select-box of PDF fields are only available when using the PRO version of the plugin or the free version with PDFtk through our server. Running PDFtk on your server will only provide a text field which requires you to enter the field ID as it appears in the uploaded PDF.
Indeed, the executable is installed here: /usr/local/bin/ so for MAMP and creating a symbolic link via
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/pdftk /usr/bin/pdftk
may be necessary.While we are happy to continue providing standard support to install PDFtk and PRO2PDF on Linux, we are unable to provide any support for the Mac OSX – as it’s always missing a byte.
PDFtk development team only explains how to install the plugin on Linux here… http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/install-pdftk-on-redhat-or-centos/
Yes, put the exact field id in the formatting box. Did you get it to work as needed?
If you have a development server that we can login to please send credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com. If not, please provide screen shots of both of the PRO2PDF screens with the correct layout and a dataset selected.
Premium support is offered to users of the PRO version via Skype and Email. I don’t see your name or email listed on an order, however we will still provide answers to all your questions online. As you can see from the other user questions, most support requests are answered within a day, and many feature requests are completed and released to all in 2-3 days. Unfortunately your questions required our main developer, who was on vacation for a week, he’s back now but a little backed up with work.
Responses to your questions should be posted today, but definitely before the end of the weekend. We apologize for the delay.
The PRO version of the plugin has an “Add a Second Dataset” feature that should accomplish your requested functionality. You would simply map a layout for step one, and another for step two, then use the Add a Second Dataset feature to print the PDF after step two.
Let us know if you’d like assistance setting up the second dataset feature.
Yes, unlock feature #3 “Link Title & Style” on this page http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/how-to-unlock-hidden-features-in-free-version-2/
This is a doable request as we are using the Formidable Pro Signature image to display a signature on PDFs. We will attempt to add this feature to the next release (or following release).
Premium support is accessed through this support forum. Requests from premium users take priority.
Yes, unlock feature #3 “Link Title & Style” on this page http://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/how-to-unlock-hidden-features-in-free-version-2/
We should have a release ready in 1 to 3 days.
Great request! We will do our best to add a “silent mode/email only” option to the shortcode on the next release of the plugin.
There’s a problem with PHP version. PHP should be at least 5.3, some functions of the plugin don’t work with 5.2.17. We’ve added an information message about PHP version in a recent release.
To update PHP go to: http://php-osx.liip.ch/
NOTE: Users do not need to install PDFTK with the PRO version of the plugin.
There must be at least one dataset in the Formidable Form – double check that you have input at least one dataset, then select the form and layout again in PRO2PDF.
If you still are not able to create a field map please let us know. We are willing to take a look at your setup, or work with you over Skype (ras_marcus in San Diego) to troubleshoot the issue.
Repeatable Form Field is a function 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.
Do you have the PRO version installed?
Our apologies for the response delay. Is it possible for us to view your server’s configuration? If so, please send credentials to support(at)formidablepro2pdf.com. If not possible, then please provide screen shots of the Formidable PRO2PDF screens, also let us know if you are able to save ‘any’ layouts on your production server.
While discussing possible options we came to a question. If we add the functionality of hiding PDF form fields the document would be blank in the section where the field is placed. Would that be your desired result? Or are you looking to “build” the PDF file whereby the display field property would be used to change the placement of other fields?
The latest update includes support for the multiple checkbox field, however at this point only the Formidable checkbox field can be selected in the Field Map Designer – and the results are listed together seperated by a comma. We realize this is not the best result to map to a PDF checkbox. We are continuing to work on parsing the Formidable Checkbox results into individual fields in the Field Map Designer so you’ll be able to map each option of a multiple checkbox field to corresponding PDF checkbox fields.
Please stand by for further updates.
1. The signature field plugin is supported by http://www.FormidablePro.com, according to the plugin page;
Increase the multiplier
This example allows you to change the multiplier for signature fields. A higher multiplier will create a clearer signature, but it also takes up more memory. The default multiplier is 5.
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;
}
2. Add a email field (or text field) to your Formidable Form. Then add the field ID to the TO form field… SETTINGS -> FORM ACTIONS -> EMAIL NOTIFICATION -> TO
