 * Does your PDF have form fields? If not, you will need to use some [PDF editing software](https://pdfformsfiller.org/docs/create-pdf-file/#software-selection)
   to add fields.

 * Hi,
 * If I understood you correctly, you are asking if you can provide a URL to the
   filled PDF file (probably via a notification).
 * Yes, you can use the ‘Path for saving filled PDF file’ option to save the filled
   PDF in some particular location in ‘wp-content/uploads’ and provide a link to
   it elsewhere. You will need to use a smart tag like ‘{unique_value}’ to make 
   sure your save path and URL are different every time the form is filled out.
 * For example, you can create a hidden field and use ‘{unique_value}’ as its default
   value. You can then use the value ‘pdfs/{field_id=”5″}’ as the save location,
   where field 5 is the hidden field. The URL would be ‘[https://yourdomain.tld/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/](https://yourdomain.tld/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/){
   field_id=”5″}/filename.pdf’. When the form is filled, ‘{field_id=”5″}’ will be
   replaced with a randomly generated string of numbers and letters in both, the
   save path and the URL that was provided.
 * You should probably set the ‘New filled PDF file name’ option as well to make
   sure the filename is correct.
 * Let me know if that helps or not.

 * I think you should create a new topic for this question.
 * What exactly do you mean by ‘do this with a tag in email notification’?
 * The only way I can think of to make attachment conditional right now (without
   me adding any new features) is to use the ‘skip when empty’ option. You will 
   need to set it up such that there is a field mapping from some WPForms field (
   maybe a hidden field) to a field in your PDF that is conditionally empty based
   on your checkbox value. When your PDF field mapping’s values are empty and the‘
   skip when empty’ option is set, the PDF is not filled and not attached to your
   notification. Unfortunately, this will only work if ALL field mapping’s values
   are empty. I suspect this is not true in your case. You are probably filling 
   data there even when your checkbox isn’t checked.
 * I don’t believe there is a conditional smart tag in WPForms. If there was, you
   may have been able to convert field mappings to smart tag mappings and set up
   all fields to be conditionally empty based on your checkbox field.
 * I am going to need to add a feature for conditionally skipping/filling a PDF 
   based on a value of a field or smart tag.

 * There should be a confirmation box that pops up when you click the button. There
   must be some kind of JS error. Can you access the developer tools/console log
   and see if it shows an error when you click the delete button?

 * I recommend using the [Enable Media Replace](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/)
   plugin to replace the PDF file in-place in the Media Library.
 * Normally, if you didn’t map to fields in the specific media file ID, then you
   can just attach a new file to the form and remove the old one. However, if you
   mapped to a specific file ID, or you embedded an image onto a specific page in
   the specific file, then there is no way around it but to replace the media file
   in-place.
 * I have been thinking about adding a replace file button to avoid this issue, 
   however, it is a bit problematic.

 * You can either create a mail-tag mapping (by selecting the “[_date] [_time]” 
   option from the “CF7 field/mail-tags” dropdown when creating a mapping) or click
   the pencil icon next to the CF7 field name in an existing field mapping to convert
   it to a mail-tag mapping.
 * You can then change the mail-tags to whatever you like. In your case, you need
   to change it to “[_time]”.
 * A mail-tag mapping allows you to enter any text, including mail-tags, into a 
   mapping. This text with mail-tags replaced by actual values will be filled into
   your PDF field.

 * What is the exact issue that you are running into?
 * Make sure your CF7 tag values match your PDF field values. If they don’t then
   you will need to create value mappings.
 * Here is an example:
   CF7 form-tag: **[select availability default:2 “Full” “Partial”]**
   Assuming your PDF field is a dropdown with the options “Full Time” and “Part 
   Time”, you should have the following mapping:

 * Looks like the problem was the ‘Optimize Email Sending’ setting on WPForms’ Email
   settings page. I am going to release a fix for this issue in the next version
   of the plugin. If anyone is having this issue, I recommend turning that setting
   off until I release the fix.

 * No, it should be working.
 * Your issue is likely caused by another plugin. I’ve had users having issues with
   attachments due to a bug in the SMPT plugin they were using. If you are using
   one of those plugins, I suggest switching to another one. One more thing you 
   can try is check that email attachments are working outside of PDF form filling,
   such as when you attach a form upload field file to the message.

 * If anyone has the question, the answer is to create a mail-tags mapping (by clicking
   the edit icon of existing field mapping, or by selecting a mail-tags template
   from the drop-down when creating the mapping) and to compose a mail-tags combination
   such as the following:
   `[group1][text1][/group1][group2]something else...[/group2]`
