Im truly amazed by these plugins and how seamlessly they work! Absolutely amazing work!

[@impcfreak]

Amazing plugins. I had to make a simple registration form for my institute and the plugins worked like a breeze. Very good tutorial as well.

[@wpglob-wordpresstutorials]

I have always admired this plugin. It was the first one that I have used on my website and still is the number 1 form plugin for me. Thank you for the useful tutorial.

[@MehdiGuizani]

Is it Free?

[@wpglob-wordpresstutorials]

@@MehdiGuizani Forminator has both free and pro versions.

Thank you for that video!

Truly good work!

Thanks 😃

[@Stormchaser189]

Brilliant Plugins and well presented tutorial. Using E2pdf or Forminator together, do they include PDF watermarking, for example if product A was purchased the PDF is sent with a watermark to the customer ? If not I think theyv'e missed an opportunity there.

[@Extramillions1]

Very good sir

[@amrsameh2017]

Hello , i have an error as only one form is activated and when trying to activate another it gives "templates limit reached wordpress" Can you help ? .

[@EdiSantosoIdeas]

Can the PDF be automatically generated then automatically sent to recipient's email?

[@buckyupy2333]

My e2pdf free version doesn't work at all, it just keeps loading the pdf i just uploaded.

[@karangadhvi7]

After the form submission , can we give option to the customer to choose between different layouts of pdf . Like every customer want to have different layouts or different backgrounds colour.

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 thanks for your question. Unfortunately this isn't possible with the integration between Forminator and E2PDF and would probably need some sort of customization to make it possible.

[@rendi1905]

how show button download pdf for long time?

[@VideoProduction1]

what about to generate a excell table with calculations or a google spreadsheet instead of a simple pdf? it's possible with this plugin?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 Forminator does have a google sheets integration that you can connect through Forminators integration settings. You can read more on this here wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#google-sheets I hope that helps 🙂

Hello thank you for this tutorial, but when u write click on elements it doenst show the map thing ?

[@shopeasy1944]

I had the same problem, go back to 2:12, and in the item box add the form you are using on your website already.

[@anhabitat9599]

Hello, thank you very much for the contribution, I have a question, maybe you can help me, I have a template that brings the data of a Forminator form, in that form the client uploads image files, but I do not see them when creating the PDF , what could be the error? Thank you very much, and greetings from Mexico

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 thanks for your question. When building the PDF template in E2PDF go to the 'PDF Builder' tool on the right of the screen select the objects tab and then drag the image object onto the template. Right-click on the image object and select 'map field' then select the upload field on the form. The uploaded image will now show on the PDF. I hope that helped 🙂

[@ryanabunan4965]

Where did the data go? In database? Where?

[@DQ940]

Is all of the processing / conversion to pdf done on the site owners own web server or is data going to a third party service?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 thanks for your question. Due to the complex nature of the PDF file format, dynamic PDF documents are generating remotely with the E2Pdf API at E2Pdf.com. In their documentation they state "We do not collect or store any web form submitted user private data that is sent to the API." I hope that helps 🙂

[@jovelvergara7070]

Is there an option where the submitted forms by the customer to be automatically sent to my email address as well?

[@jovelvergara7070]

And how much is the price of the 2 plugins?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 yes you can set that up in the email notification settings. 🙂

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

@@jovelvergara7070 Both are free but it depends on what you need. Forminator is free unless you need some of its pro features like subscription payments then you can get it as a single plugin or packaged with some of our other plugins wpmudev.com/project/forminator-pro/ (check out our full membership deal it is crazy!) wpmudev.com/pricing/ E2PDF pricing can be found here e2pdf.com/price - I hope that helps 🙂

In free plan they allow you to create only one template

Nice, by the way is it possible to integrate forminator with whatsapp?

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey 👋 there is no direct integration between Forminator and Whatsapp at the moment although I have passed this on to the team and they are going to look into this as a new feature. The workaround for this is to integrate Forminator with Google Sheets and then use Zapier to connect Google Sheets with Picky Assist. Picky Assist connects to Whatsapp. Picky Assist also charges for the Zapier integration and a monthly subscription fee too.

Sounds like a good plugin, But at $190 a year, I can not see the benifit. Sure you get acces to other plugins, But I dont need them If it was a stand alone at a reasonable price i would buy it

[@wpmudev-wordpress]

Hey👋 thanks for the comment. Forminator is free to download through the WordPress repository wordpress.org/plugins/forminator/ if you want to try Forminator Pro out you can start a 7-day trial here wpmudev.com/project/forminator-pro/ and it is available as a stand-alone for $60 per year as well.
