 * Is there a way to batch process and export all of the forms based on a search
   into one PDF file but separated with blank pages or something to distinguish 
   each entry. And we have users uploading excel spreadsheets into the forms, is
   there a way to also export this in the form as well in line?
 * Thank you great product!

 * Hi,
 * It’s currently not possible to batch process PDFs for multiple entries, but it
   is on our roadmap.
 * I’m not sure exactly what you mean about the Excel documents. If you are talking
   about displaying the results of the excel file in the PDF it may be possible 
   with a [PHP Excel Reader](https://github.com/rafsoaken/php-excel-reader) and 
   a [custom PDF template](https://developer.gravitypdf.com/documentation-group/custom-template/).
   We’ve never tried this integration before so I cannot comment on how effective
   it would be.

 * I was able to select all of the entries and export to PDF. But there are a couple
   lookup fields that are just displaying the ID field when we want to have the 
   actual value of a pick list. Is there anyway we can update the plugin so it looks
   up the actual value of a picklist and not the ID value?
 * Any timeframe on the batch process road map item?

 * Could we pay for any custom development for this plugin such as reading the Excel
   into a custom PDF – since some users are uploading a few excel spreadsheets into
   the form and we need it to output in the basic form output – we dont need anything
   fancy just have everything output when we search on some fields, etc.
 * Thank you.

 * Batch processing is still a while off (I won’t comment on a time frame as it 
   depends on a large number of factors). We’re currently developing Gravity PDF
   4.0. There are a few other features on the road map before this as well.
 * At this time the only services we offer users is for custom PDF templates which
   will generate a single PDF with data from a single entry. While the tools may
   be there we won’t be able to integrate the data from your excel documents as 
   they aren’t currently on our approved list of packages – all third party packages
   need to go through a vetting process which can take considerable time.
 * I hear good things about [Codeable.io](https://codeable.io/). You may find a 
   developer there who will be able to undertake your project.
