[@brentwarf6779]

Thank you for adding my suggestion! I dont know how many others suggested the same idea - but this helps me a lot right now with my project. I have been trying to find ways to customize my own pdf for a while - but so far every method does not turn out the way I want it to. Will def give this a shot soon!!!

[@b.l.999]

That's just what I needed for my new customer!😀

Great addition, just what I needed

[@uruakcoromo8977]

Thanks for the info! Si useful

[@SerifValley]

Just a question I may have missed from the video, but is it possible to upload a pdf and map the fields to particular locations !?

[@muhammadsaran2760]

Is it possible to show these generated pdf forms in wordpress dashboard with each users entries??

[@olegmagliona1645]

Thank you.Great feature

[@bquerry]

Fan-fricking-tastic!!!! Although I've never been hurt by a Formidable Form. Is that a digital injury, Mike?

Truly good content!

[@neosphere2300]

Hello, thank you for these great videos and awesome features ! I was wondering if there was a way to customize the layout of the pdf attached (not as a link) to the mail, the one activated by the toggle at the bottom of email notification settings ?

[@FormidableForms]

So sorry for missing this! Currently, not yet, but it is a requested feature that I'll make sure is highlighted for our dev team.

[@neosphere2300]

@@FormidableForms Hello, thanks a lot for your answer, we look forward to see this option, it would be amazing! One more question : we are facing an issue currently, because the view linked in the email is set to "private", which means, as an admin, I have no problem opening it. However, someone who is not logged in to our Wordpress back-end cannot ("the access is denied"). I can't find a way to set the linked view to "public" instead of "private". Is there a way ? Thanks again !

Boa tarde, com o Formidable Forms eu consigo criar um campo para adicionar um arquivo PDF, ele informar a quantidade de páginas e calcular o valor que fica um arquivo impresso? Obrigado

[@FormidableForms]

[@timoschmitt5799]

Great feature. One more suggestion: Please make it easier to use fields the user filled out, for example the user fills out his name. Right now it´s so complicated to use his name in the next question to ask for example: What pet do you have, "name"? That would be a big improvement as well for non techies👌

[@paulwolotsky8846]

Great feature. Can this be used to produce PDF of all entries in a single PDF file for archiving purposes?

[@FormidableForms]

Yes, while this example uses the detail view to create individual ones, you should be able to create a pdf of all of them by using a standard view.

[@Rhapsody_FrameTV_art]

For the life of me I can't get these custom view PDF forms to replace default view as the attachment. It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?

Thanks - I've submitted a ticket@@FormidableForms

[@notachef291]

Hello, I need help. My client is unresponsive since the holidays, he's not sending his license key to me. He tasked me to convert Formidable Form entries to WordPress posts and with a downloadable PDF file. The problem is, all the posts that were created after the View for PDF was created are all using the view of PDF instead of the single.php. How to prevent this so that the posts still use single.php not the PDF view?

[@FormidableForms]

Can you please submit a ticket to our support team at formidableforms.com/knowledgebase? They'll help you out as fast as they can!

[@msmservices349]

Its good, but please make it more easy and customizable look through using CSS codes etc

[@TylerLehmann-h1t]

Is there a way to get the PDF to display the actual image that is uploaded instead of just a URL of it?

[@FormidableForms]

Yes, check out this section of our knowledge base: formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/pdfs/#kb-troubleshooting If you're still having issues, please reach out to our support team! They'd be happy to help!

[@ryankrause4686]

Pre-Sales Question: We have a specific pdf layout with checkboxes, background design, etc... can we upload our own pdf and then map the shortcodes to it in anyway?

[@FormidableForms]

We're still working on making that possible with our built in PDF solution. However, we do integrate with E2PDF which should allow you to do what you want!

[@PaigeEllerbusch25]

When do you think you will implement this?@@FormidableForms

[@derekknox3563]

The shortcode hasnt been added to the comments or info below?

[@FormidableForms]

Whoops! Added it now.

[@ryanb8251]

I can’t believe all new addons cannot be purchased on their own plan. All grandfathered accounts are being forced to pay for a subscription for all addons! I’m willing to pay for the new addons but not the entire suite!

[@EricScoles]

right but how would we craft a link to embed in a view?

[@FormidableForms]

Hi Eric, sorry I'm not sure I understand. Could you please give me some more details about what you're wanting to do exactly?

[@na-hg6gm]

It just displays the code when the form is submitted, not the link to download the PDF. Am I missing something?

[@ibrahimozturk1122]

me too...

[@jammiecagodfrey3763]

Can you add a logo and how can I contact an actual person?

[@FormidableForms]
