WEB MasterParticipant
From your answer I learned that I did not explain correctly the workflow. So I will try to describe the basic process more accurate.
I start with page A containing form A. On that page no formidable-download shortcode is present, so pressing the submit button cannot generate a PDF. The action specified for the submit button is redirection to page B using currentid=[id] as a parameter. On page B there is no form and no submit button, but essentially only a formidable view containing the shortcode
[formidable-download form=”ph3qh442″ dataset=[id] layout=”1003″ filename=[595] title=”test”]
Now the link “test” is displayed, but no PDF is saved. When this link is pressed I get the option to save or open the PDF and independent from the choice (even cancel is ok) a file with the name {595] is saved on the server.
My point is: I do not want to see the link, but only want the generated PDF to be saved on the server.
Hope this helps to recognize my problem.WEB MasterParticipantTo clarify my last post, which is still not answered, I want no download link, no automatic download, only the saved file.
WEB MasterParticipantNow I received the Save PDF Add-on I detected an unexpected behavior: I have page A containing form A into which the user enters some data. On pressing Submit the user is redirected to page B that contains a View to generate a PDF as described in your How to: Use the Shortcode in a Page or Post. That works as expected. On page B there is a Submit button that should send an email to which that PDF is attached. But that attachment is missing UNLESS I first press the download link OR specified download=”auto” in the shortcode to create the PDF. So the save does not work if the file is not already downloaded.
WEB MasterParticipantThanks for your advise. I finally concluded to use a page containing the main form that the user should fill. Then redirect to a second page which will contain a Formidable View containing the shortcode to generate the PDF. I found in your How to section the perfect scenario (How to: Use the Shortcode in a Page or Post). I want the generated file to be saved in order to attach it to an email related to a submit button in another form. So last Saturday I used the link you supplied, ordered and payed the ‘safe file’ plugin and received a message promising follow up instructions within 24 hours (but mostly a couple of minutes). Now it is Tuesday and I am not aware of any information to get, install and use the plugin. . .
WEB MasterParticipantThanks for your response. I realized a second problem: when I create a field map I receive a shortcode for download link or direct download. But in order to use that I have to fill the field specifying the message that will be show when the submitbutton is pressed. But I do not want such a message, rather a redirect eventually after executing a payment action triggered by the submit button. Is it possible not to have the on submit message and where should I place shortcode to generate the PDF and how looks that shortcode?
WEB MasterParticipantOk, but in my case I have a form, say form A, from which I will generate 3 PDF files. The submit button of this form does not send email notifications, but redirects the user to another page on which there are 3 forms. Each of this 3 forms contains a submit button that sends an email when pressed and that email should have an attachment being one of the PDF generated from form A.
On your site I found a post in which a $ 10 plugin is mentioned that adds the capability to save the generated PDF; that could be a solution for me, but I cannot find where to obtain that plugin (if it still exists). -
