Thanks for the high praise. * I’m not sure regarding alignment. I guess it is possible to add a setting for that. The problem is, it might not be enough to solve all the visual issues with signatures. For example, another feature that you probably need for that is autocrop to remove all the empty space around the signature. I would recommend putting a black box around the signature field so the user knows to fill the entire box and possibly putting a horizontal line inside the box towards the bottom to allow user to align their signature to that line. Also, making the width-to-height ratios of the signature box and the image embed bounding box match. * I am planning to leave the tag generator tool in forever because users expect their old forms to still work when they update the plugin. I am planning to make it less prominent. * Thanks for the input regarding the “Save & Close” button, however, I am not sure having a “save” button there would be technically correct and having a “close” button would be sort of redundant. But you do have a point. I am not sure how to solve this issue yet. I’ll come up with something eventually. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Importing images such as signatures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/page/2/#post-10104569) * I fixed that one issue, so, you guys can continue testing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] PDF file upload failed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-file-upload-failed/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pdf-file-upload-failed/#post-10104544) * What version of MS Edge are you using? * Regarding file size, the free tier on Pdf.Ninja API has a limit of 2 MB, so, you are going to have issues with that unless you have the pro key. - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Importing images such as signatures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/#post-10100918) * There appears to be an issue with the API code.

This button is left over from the old version of the plugin and is part of the ‘tag generator’ feature. * So, currently there are 3 features which you can use independently. * 1. Tag generator tool (old feature that is somewhat deprecated) 2. Field mapper tool 3. Image embedding tool * Image embedding tool does not have an ‘insert tag’ button because it is presumed that you are using some other plugin to insert its image tags into your form. * Let’s say you want to embed the signature from the signature addon plugin into the PDF file. You do not need features #1 and #2. You only need to use feature# 3. What you have to do first is insert the [signature] tag into your form (from the signature addon plugin). Then, you have to go to the ‘PDF Form’ tag generator thickbox and use the ‘Embed Image’ button (after selecting the signature CF7 field). Then, you can adjust the selection on the page preview widget to specify where the image should be embedded on the page. * Every time you make changes in the ‘PDF Form’ tag generator thickbox, they are not saved immediately. It is ok to click the X to close the thickbox. Your changes are kept in a temporary hidden input tag on the page. You can reopen the thickbox and still see your changes present there. However, you have to click the main‘ Save’ button of the form if you want your changes to be applied to the contact form. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Importing images such as signatures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/#post-10093008) * Make sure you are using the ‘Image Embedding Tool’ instead of the field mapping tool. You would need to download the development version of the plugin and install it manually from here, [https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms/archive/master.zip) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Importing images such as signatures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-images-such-as-signatures/#post-10086520) * Good news, everyone! I am in the final stages of development and testing of the new ‘image embedding’ feature. It would be nice if someone would test it and give me feedback before I launch it. * You can download the development version here, [https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms/archive/master.zip) * Make sure you change the ‘API URL’ in CF7 integration settings to ‘[https://beta.pdf.ninja’](https://beta.pdf.ninja’); to enable the beta API features. Also, you may need to hit the ‘Get New Key’ button. - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Choose File name?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/choose-file-name/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/choose-file-name/#post-10033582) * Thanks for the high praise. * Currently, it is not possible to do this. * An option (options button) needs to be added which would allow one to enter a custom filename. It would also be possible to allow one to use mail tags in the filename. * I will take into consideration your request when deciding on implementing the next feature. Currently, I am implementing another big feature (adding images into PDFs). If you need this feature soon and would like to sponsor it, I would appreciate it. If you like to implement this feature yourself, I would gladly accept your pull request here: [https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms](https://github.com/maximum-software/wpcf7-pdf-forms). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Making PDF uneditable after filling information](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-pdf-uneditable-after-filling-information/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-pdf-uneditable-after-filling-information/#post-10021914) * I believe in your case the problem is embedded fonts. Make sure you embed the correct font into the PDF file that is used to display the field data. Also, some users reported that the issue may be caused by the PDF viewer. What are you using to view the PDF? * The other problem occurs when you try to flatten the PDf with non-latin characters. I believe this is not your case. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Unique random number](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unique-random-number/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unique-random-number/#post-9990705) * I was able to get this to work. * Your example requires a shortcode ‘RZH_CF7_GEN_NOMOR’ to work. I used the ‘Shortcode for Current Date’ plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-for-current-date/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-for-current-date/)) instead that provides [current_date] shortcode. * I added the following into my form, * [dynamictext date readonly “current_date”] * Then, I went into the ‘PDF Form’ thickbox and mapped ‘date’ field into a field in my PDF file (by selecting from the dropdowns in the Field Mapper Tool and clicking ‘Add Mapping’). * It worked for me. When I accessed the form page, it automatically pre-filled the date for me in the form and I saw the date in the PDF when I received it to my email. * Maybe check to make sure the ‘RZH_CF7_GEN_NOMOR’ shortcode is working? Also, check to make sure you have mapped the fields. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PDF Forms Filler for CF7] Input Mask and other elements](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-mask-and-other-elements/) * Plugin Author [maximum.software](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximumsoftware/) * (@maximumsoftware) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/input-mask-and-other-elements/#post-9990608) * I’m not exactly sure what doesn’t work for you.
