PDF Not Being Outputted

    I am using a very good plugin to submit the form data into a PDF which is emailed as an attachment. https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/

    The PDFs are quite long and there will be a lot of questions, which I want to break up with multiple steps.

    I tested it with the multi-step plugin but the PDF did not get emailed as an attachment so something clearly went wrong.

    My question is would the PRO version likely fix this? I understand that it works using session storage instead of cookies.

    Thanks

    Hmm, that is a pretty impressive and complex plugin. I’m not familiar with that PDF plugin, but you can try add all the PDF stuff on just the last step of the form. Also on the last step of the form, you may need to add a hidden form tag so the PDF plugin can pickup the fields from the previous steps.

    for example:
    In Step 1 you have the first-name field:
    [text first-name]

    In Step 2 you have another field:
    [text another-field]

    In Step 3 you get all the fields in the form so the PDF plugin can read it:
    [hidden first-name]
    [hidden another-field]
    In Step 3 you would use the PDF form-tag generator.

    I would recommend getting these plugins to work nicely together with a 1 – 2 field example with the FREE version first. If the PDF does not send with the FREE version for a simple example the PRO version will most likely NOT fix this.

    If the PDF sends with just a few fields with the FREE version of this plugin but stops working when there are a large number of fields, then, and only then the PRO version would help you.
