You need the mail-tags feature. * The current version of the plugin does not have the mail-tags feature. You will have to use the unreleased work-in-progress version of the plugin that has the mail-tags feature. You can download it 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) * What you have to do is add a mail-tags mapping (by either mapping one of the special mail-tags to a PDF field or editing an existing regular CF7 field mapping) and change it to say the following: [menu-dredge-personnel][menu-operators][ menu-tugs][menu-yard][menu-admin] * At least one of those fields will be filled in, the other ones would normally be empty, unless the user selects each group and fills something in for each field. Then, you will just get a mess. Unfortunately, the Contact Form 7 – Conditional Fields plugin does not make CF7 discard values filled into groups that are then hidden after being filled. I’ve asked the plugin developer to fix this issue in that post you linked ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/)). * I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on the new mail-tags feature. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] How to transfer conditional fields into PDF](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/#post-13201192) * I’ve just tested conditional fields in conjunction with mapped CF7 fields. I have the reverse problem. All field values in my conditional group do make it into my PDF, even if the condition doesn’t hold true. * [@jules-colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/), to solve my problem what you should do is probably clear values (internal to CF7) of fields that are in a group which is not shown. I tried both ways and both ways have the same effect for me: `$data[$field] = $processed_data[$mapping["cf7_field"]];`` $data[$field] = wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( "[".$mapping["cf7_field"]."]" );` * [@lra115](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lra115/), can you share your CF7 form and the conditions that you have? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] How to transfer conditional fields into PDF](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/#post-13200514) * Hi [@jules-colle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jules-colle/), * I’ll be honest, I’ve never used your plugin. I haven’t had time to look at why users have this issue. I would appreciate it if you can help me understand how to make a fix. * My plugin takes the field value from `$submission->get_posted_data();` at the following line: [https://github.com/maximum-software/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/blob/caea22eedad6c62760288b1b07df3227d536039b/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7.php#L749](https://github.com/maximum-software/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7/blob/caea22eedad6c62760288b1b07df3227d536039b/pdf-forms-for-contact-form-7.php#L749) * The function get_posted_data() must not be returning values for the conditional fields. Is there another CF7 function I should be using to pull the values out? * I am assuming the new method with mail-tags would work (`wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( $mapping["mail_tags"])`). I will test it later. If this method will work, one solution might be to just switch to using it for CF7 mappings. * Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Insert Embedded Image to PDF Displays URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-embedded-image-to-pdf-displays-url/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-embedded-image-to-pdf-displays-url/#post-13197596) * This sounds like a problem someone else had reported. Please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/signature-wont-embed-just-get-a-url/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/signature-wont-embed-just-get-a-url/). * If you are embedding a signature image, make sure you don’t also map the CF7 signature field to the PDF signature field. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] How to transfer conditional fields into PDF](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-transfer-conditional-fields-into-pdf-2/#post-13190726) * Hi, * You are talking about the following plugin, correct? [https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/) * A number of users reported this issue. * I think I finally have a solution for you. I have not tested it with conditional fields, however, the solution I have is to use the new mail-tags mapping feature. I have not released it yet because I am still testing it, however, you can try installing the work-in-progress plugin version 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) * You will need to manually download and install the plugin and use the edit icon next to the field name to convert the field into a textarea in which you can use mail-tags. * Please let me know if it works for you (or not). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Not filing out field at all](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-filing-out-field-at-all/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-filing-out-field-at-all/#post-13168147) * You need to edit your PDF file and add form fields. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Not filing out field at all](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-filing-out-field-at-all/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-filing-out-field-at-all/#post-13158066) * Your PDF needs to contain a form before it can be filled.

You would use a plugin like [Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/) in combination with a shortcode that generates the current date string. You would create a dynamic shortcode field and map it to your PDF field. * There is a new feature that will soon be released that allows you to map mail- tags to PDF fields. You can then use the ‘[_date]’ mail-tag. See more information at [https://contactform7.com/special-mail-tags/](https://contactform7.com/special-mail-tags/).
