If you don't see writable fields its because your PDF is NOT interactive. The PDF has to be INTERACTIVE in order to write in it. Reading this helps a lot ps.w.org/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/assets/screenshot-3.png
Very descriptive, Hard to understand, I think it will be very helpful for us if you make a small video with small contact form with 3 -5 different fields.
The PDF should end up in the email message. You can also enable the download link option and it will end up in a link presented to the user after form submission. Some people have reported issues with email attachment not working due to other plugins breaking attachments.
hi team, the plugin was good but I have an issue on the client side like the client doesn't upload their cv the option is not shown. So, please sort my problem
Please submit a support ticket at maximum.software/support/ or post a topic on the WordPress support forum at wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/
The plugin is using either URL or uploaded file as the source of image data. Please check to make sure the URL or file that is being supplied by the field or mail-tag is not empty.
Having an issue where the plugin fails to acquire the Pdf.Ninja API key, manual attempts result in the same error: "PDF Forms Filler for CF7 plugin error: Failed to acquire the Pdf.Ninja API key on last attempt. Please retry manually."
When you retry manually (by hitting the "Get New Key" button on the CF7 Integration page) there should be a more detailed error message with a reason. Most likely the reason is your hosting provider is blocking outgoing HTTPS connections.
What is it supposed to happen after you do everything correctly ? The form is converted into a pdf and it is sent by email ? I didn't receive anymail, I'm willing to buy the enterprise module for privacy purposes, but I won't buy it if the free plugin doesn't work correctly. Please advise/help thanks
The plugin does not generate the PDF. You have to prepare it separately with PDF form fields and attach it to the CF7 form. Once you do that, you will need to map your CF7 fields to your PDF form fields. The plugin will then facilitate filling form input data into the PDF and attaching the resulting filled PDF to the CF7 email message/saving the PDF file in your uploads folder/allowing users to download the completed PDF/etc.
@@shiros4ki-1 That would be something that should be done by another plugin. Maybe you can do this with the following two plugins, wordpress.org/plugins/store-file-uploads-for-contact-form-7/ wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/
Don't have checkbox, radio usage in tutorial. The "ON" of checkbox show in the video is no working in current version. Current version with default "0" and "Yes" as option. It only works as "0", user won't know what "0" means, right? Why can't it works as normal checkbox and radio, use #ID to check which has been checked?
hi, the pdf is working before but now i used functions.php contactform7_before_send_mail because i need to add the data to custom database and its not working anymore the mail sends normal but no attachment. please help.

Hello Maximum Congratulations with this add-on, I really like it. I am doing a property listing website. The same CF7 is embedded in each post. I have uploaded a PDF file with forms and everything is filled very well. With the information in the post I have been able to: URL of the post, Title of the Post, But I can't get: Property id, Author of the post, Author's Email. Thank you so much
That's interesting, I was actually planning to build a plugin like this for WooCommerce. Meanwhile, there are payment processing plugins available for Contact Form 7 and WPForms that you can use in conjunction with "PDF Forms Filler for CF7" or "PDF Forms Filler for WPForms" plugin to set this up. If you wish to discuss your particular requirements, feel free to contact me at maximum.software/contact/

The PDF Forms Filler for Contact Form 7 plugin does not have any features that allow you to convert a PDF file into an HTML page. You would need to do that manually and map your CF7 fields to your PDF fields.
PDF checkboxes have 'export value'. You have to make sure the value that gets put into the PDF checkbox field is exactly the 'export value', otherwise the checkbox wouldn't be checked in the PDF. Usually, the export value is "On". It doesn't make too much sense to have "On" in your CF7 form, so people change it, but that breaks it. If you want to change what is displayed in your CF7 form, use pipes (see contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/). So, you would have form-tags like so: [checkbox my-checkbox "My checkbox|On"]
There were some issues recently with the new version of Contact Form 7 (v5.4) but they were resolved. It should be working. What is your issue exactly?
Enterprise Extension cost is how plugin development is supported. Also, the bundled PDFtk is not free, it requires a rather pricey redistribution license. I am planning to switch to even more expensive Foxit PDF SDK that works better. Also, keep in mind that the Enterprise Extension is not supported in most shared hosting environments. You most likely will need to run your WP site on your own VPS to make it work.

Pro trick: watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Anders Julius yup, been watching on flixzone for months myself :)
So where's the pdf? Like where does it end up at? Don't see It on my email. I'm willing to pay the corporate plan but can't seem to make it work.

Lost time. It does not work and move to the site where you have to pay expensive amount.
Would you mind sharing what exactly doesn't work for you? Thanks.
hard to understand this tutorial
rubbish.......every time.......the same issue......file size high.....not allowing to upload more than 2 MB....
Unfortunately, the Pdf.Ninja API free tier has a file size limit of 2 MB.
Extremely complicated
