 * There was no change in the new version that might conceivably cause your issue.
 * I think your issue is either file truncation by some other plugin or an image
   optimizer plugin stripping forms from PDF files.
 * [ShortPixel Image Optimizer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortpixel-image-optimiser/)
   is known to cause your issue.

   button.

 * This should not happen.
 * The old version used to fail silently (for the users) and just attach a TXT file
   with the error to the email message. The new version shows fill errors when the
   user submits the form.
 * The only reason why it might happen is because you are still getting errors with
   the old version but they are not shown to the users and instead attached to the
   email message.
 * Can you check to see if there is a TXT file attached when you try version 1.2.4?
 * Regarding no support for XFA forms: this has always been the case since the first
   version of the plugin. There is progress being made to add XFA form support in
   the coming months. For now, there is no way PDFs with no AcroForm forms would
   work.
 * I would like to test your PDF file to double check. Can you send me your file
   to admin at maximum dot software?

 * You would need to somehow have a CF7 field or a mail-tag that does this. The 
   best thing to do is to just write your own `wpcf7_special_mail_tags` filter and
   create your own special mail-tag.
 * Something like this:
 *     ```
       function special_mail_tag( $output, $name, $html )
       {
           if( 'something' == $name )
               $output = ......; // do the sum here
   
           return $output;
       }
       add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'special_mail_tag', 10, 3 );
       ```
   
 * Then you would have the mail-tag `[something]` available to you.

 * I am not sure what you mean exactly.
 * If you mean “can I combine multiple CF7 fields into one PDF field” then the answer
   is yes. The new version of the plugin allows you to do this. Use the pencil icon
   edit button next to the CF7 field name in the mapping list to convert it to mail-
   tags mapping, so that you can add more tags to it. You can also select some special
   mail-tags from the CF7 field dropdown when you are creating the mapping and that
   will have the same effect.
 * Let me know if you mean something else.

 * Hi,
 * If I understand you correctly, you updated to the latest version and your CF7
   forms no longer submit, the spinner is running endlessly when you try to submit
   the forms on the front-end. Is this correct?
 * This problem usually happens when you have a PHP warning/notice spill into the
   JSON output of the AJAX request, causing a JavaScript parse error.
 * I did have this problem testing WordPress 5.5 (due to a PHP notice with the “
   SMTP Mailer” plugin). However, my plugin was not causing the problem.
 * Would you mind sending me the URL of your form? I would like to see what the 
   PHP notice is.
 * Thanks.

 * Maybe the hosting provider is blocking emails with attachments, or attachments
   above a certain size.
 * The enterprise extension is a separate plugin that you probably don’t have installed.
   It doesn’t affect you in any way.
 * When you submit the contact form, do you get any errors? Or does it show you 
   the submission was successful?
 * I can debug the issue for you if you don’t mind sending me a temporary wp-admin
   login to admin at maximum dot software.

 * This plugin doesn’t send email messages. The Contact From 7 plugin is the one
   that initiates the email message. In this case, I don’t think either is the problem.
   You probably should contact your hosting provider. They might be blocking outgoing
   mail.

 * The plugin automatically adds a tag to the file attachments section.
 * Do you receive an email with a plain contact form (one without any attachments)?
   If no then the message might be going to your spam folder or your hosting provider’s
   email configuration may be broken.
 * If you get plain messages but not ones with the PDF attached, the problem may
   be with a file size limit on a mail server or something else. It is hard to say
   without looking at your logs.

 * Hi [@lra115](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lra115/),
 * I suspect your problem is trying to use the same CF7 form tag name multiple times.
   I believe form tag names have to be unique. Correct me if I am wrong.
 * So, you should have your-surname-1, your-surname-2, your-surname-3.. etc.
 * Please try the work-in-progress version of the plugin and map the mail-tags “[
   your-surname-1][your-surname-2][your-surname-3]” to your PDF field.
 * Please also see my reply to a similar post:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-conditional-result-to-pdf-field/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-conditional-result-to-pdf-field/)

 * Hi,
 * What is ‘Property id’? I’m not sure about that one.
 * You can use the new mail-tags mapping feature in conjunction with special mail-
   tags “[_user_first_name] [_user_last_name]” and “[_user_email]” (see [https://contactform7.com/special-mail-tags/](https://contactform7.com/special-mail-tags/)).
   You can even avoid using the hidden fields by using special mail-tags “[_post_title]”
   and “[_url]”.
 * The current version of the plugin does not have the mail-tags feature. I am working
   to release a new version of the plugin soon which will have the mail-tags feature.
   You can try installing the work-in-progress plugin version which you can download
   at the following URL:
    [https://github.com/maximum-software/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/maximum-software/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/archive/master.zip)
 * I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on the new feature.
 * Thanks.
