 * The file name feature was introduced in a previous version. Adding filled PDFs
   into the media library is an interesting idea, I will have to think about that.
   I don’t know about posting them in categories, I don’t think that is a native
   feature of WordPress.

 * I’ve concluded that this is an issue caused by WPML. It looks like their plugins
   are breaking Contact Form 7 in general. If anyone else is having this issue, 
   please contact WPML creators and resolve it with them.

 * I will need to investigate what needs to be done to apply date format from _format_your-
   date tag to the field values. I will add that onto my TODO list. Look for the
   fix in the upcoming versions of the plugin. If you need this sooner, let me know.

 * Thanks for pointing out documentation about the “_raw_” values. It make sense
   to add a feature to the plugin that would allow users to map these values. I 
   will add that in when I get a chance.
 * Meanwhile, you can use my suggestion,
 * 1. Install this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/)
 * 2. Add a shortcode roughly like this,
 *     ```
       add_shortcode( 'get_value_shortcode', 'get_value_shortcode_handler' );
       function get_value_shortcode_handler(){
       return $_POST['value'];
       }
       ```
   
 * 3. Use the following CF7 tags and map them to the appropriate PDF fields,
    [radio
   value “f|FEMALE” “m|MALE”] [dynamichidden raw_value “get_value_shortcode”]
 * I know this is really ugly, but I am sure you can come up with something prettier,
   given the time.

 * This is a problem with most PDF viewers not rendering correctly. I have a solution
   in the works, however, it will be a while before I will be able to deploy it.
   The problem will persist anyway if the user attempts to edit the contents of 
   filled fields. This is something that has to be fixed with the PDF viewers themselves.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve tested PDF attaching with the latest CF7 / WP versions but I don’t have 
   any issues. Most likely your problem is other plugins. If you guys don’t mind,
   send me a wp-admin login details to admin at maximum dot software and I will 
   try to debug what is causing your issue.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * I believe this issue is caused by incompatibilities with other plugins. Try to
   disable other plugins and test to see if the problem is resolved.
 * I am about to launch a new version that does away with the file upload and replaces
   it with built in WP media browser, so, hopefully the new method will not cause
   incompatibilities.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * I am about to launch a couple of features that you may be interested in.
 * 1. Allow users to download filled PDF after submitting the form
    2. Allow CF7
   form editor to set path where filled PDFs will be saved.
 * I think you can use #2 to save PDF in a directory (in your public_html folder)
   that has directory listing turned on. Then, you can direct your users to that
   directory and allow them to download the filled PDF files.
 * Let me know if that is going to be helpful.

 * Hi,
 * Are up using code similar to what I’ve provided in the response? If that format
   isn’t suitable for you, you can always change it. One possible solution is to
   use the following built in WP function,
    [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/date_i18n](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/date_i18n)
 * When you say ‘date format is not very readable in my country/language,’ what 
   do you mean exactly? How is it not readable? Can you provide examples of how 
   it should be and how it is currently?
 * The problem is, it is not clear to me what you guys are trying to do. I need 
   more information, such as the PDF file you are trying to fill, your CF7 form,
   any additional plugins that are used for formatting the data, the date formats
   you want use on the website, email message and the PDF file, etc. I need more
   details.
 * What I can do is add data formatting hooks to the plugin to allow you guys to
   adjust the data format before it is added into the PDF file.
 * Let me know more details.
 * Thanks.

 * How are you able to get the “_raw_location” mail-tag? I don’t think WPCF7_USE_PIPE
   does that.
 * The plugin currently doesn’t allow you to enter any arbitrary mail-tags that 
   are not fields on the form. I will consider adding this feature in the future.
   However, what you can do in the meantime is add a custom hidden mail-tag with
   some custom code and add it onto the form as a field. Once you do that, you will
   be able to map it to a PDF field.
