 * I’m not sure about that one. Maybe you have ‘Mail (2)’ enabled in your CF7 form.
   Otherwise, I would get in touch with the developers of that plugin.

 * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-fields-cf7-support/#post-16237375)
 * Hi,
 * I did not realize your use case wasn’t working, but I looked into it and here
   is what I concluded:
 * The problem is not that my plugin doesn’t support the [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   plugin. As far as I can tell, the problem is that the [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   plugin doesn’t hook into the `wpcf7_mail_replace_tags()` function to handle groups
   in mail-tags, and that the [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/)
   plugin doesn’t provide an easy way for [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   to hook into the `wpcf7_mail_replace_tags()` function.
 * The groups are working in the email message because [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   plugin has code that handles groups in email message (see function `hide_hidden_mail_fields()`).
   However, as far as I can tell, this code doesn’t run for mail-tags that are outside
   of CF7 form properties (including when `wpcf7_mail_replace_tags()` is called).
   My plugin calls `wpcf7_mail_replace_tags()` to process mail-tags, so, the [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   groups never get processed.
 * I will explain how to make it work with my plugin (as a temporary workaround).
   
   Change this line in my plugin’s main PHP file:
 *     ```
       $data[$field] = wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( $mapping["mail_tags"] );
       ```
   
 * To the following:
 *     ```
       $data[$field] = wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( $mapping["mail_tags"] );
       if( class_exists( 'Wpcf7cfMailParser' ) )
       {
       	$hidden_groups = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_hidden_groups']));
       	$visible_groups = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_visible_groups']));
       	$repeaters = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_repeaters']));
       	$parser = new Wpcf7cfMailParser($data[$field], $visible_groups, $hidden_groups, $repeaters, $_POST);
       	$data[$field] = $parser->getParsedMail();
       }
       ```
   
 * Image embeds, file name, and save path mail-tag processing code will need a similar
   change if you want to use conditional field groups there as well.
 * I will not be adding the above code into my plugin because this is a responsibility
   of the [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   plugin developer and the [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/)
   plugin developer, unless someone can prove otherwise.
 * Even if I moved the mail-tag containing settings of my plugin into [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/)
   form properties, that is still not going to solve the problem because [Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cf7-conditional-fields/)
   plugin only seems to process ‘mail’, ‘mail_2’, and ‘messages’ properties.
 * Please contact the developers of both plugins and direct them to this forum topic.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure what you mean by ‘split’.
 * PDF form’s text fields have a ‘multi-line’ property that can be enabled to allow
   multiple lines. The filled text in the field wraps automatically. You can also
   select ‘auto’ for the field’s size, which will make the text font size adjust
   to fit into the available space. However, all of the above will need to be done
   in your PDF editing software and not in the plugin interface.
 * If you would like to do any kind of text processing on the WordPress side, you
   will need to use smart tags. You will likely need to write your own code to implement
   your custom smart tag.
 * Let me know if you are asking about something else entirely.

 * Hi Brian,
 * I’m sorry for the late reply.
 * The change that is needed is as follows:
 * Change this line:
    add_action(‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘cf7pp_before_send_mail’);
   To this line: add_action(‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘cf7pp_before_send_mail’, 
   99999 );
 * This will make that hook run after all others are done.
 * Let me know if that helps or not.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * You need to use PDF editing software. There is a number of commercial and free
   solutions out there, as well as online web based editors.
 * Please see the plugin documentation page about this topic:

 * There must be the thrown exception’s message somewhere in PHP logs. Anyway, I
   may have found the issue but I’m not sure. I’m going to do some more testing 
   and release a fix. Thanks for your crash report.
 * What is the other plugin that you found?
    You might try my other plugin called
   [PDF Forms Filler for WPForms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-forms-for-wpforms/),
   which is almost exactly the same but integrated with WPForms. It doesn’t have
   the function that crashes, so, it might work better for you.

 * Hi Chris,
 * You might be able to set something up with [conditional notifications](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-create-conditional-form-notifications-in-wpforms/),
   but you will need to attach all the PDFs to the form. Hopefully, the number of
   languages is very small, so, it wouldn’t cause too much of a slowdown.
 * Additionally, you can make use of the ‘Skip when empty’ option if you can set
   your mappings up in such a way that the other PDFs’ fields remain blank (and 
   therefore skipped). There is a number of ways to make this work, such as making
   the same form field into different fields (one for each language) and showing
   only one (conditionally depending on the language), then mapping each one to 
   the corresponding PDF file. This will cause the user to only fill the fields 
   that correspond to their language and will leave the other PDFs unfilled (and
   skipped).
 * Let me know if that helps or not.
    Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * There is a filename option. It allows you to specify the file name. You can use
   a smart tag in that field. If one of your form fields is the language then you
   can insert its smart tag in the file name. For example, your file name option
   might be `Alert-Card-{field_id="1"}.pdf`. You can access the PDF options by clicking
   the options button next to the attached PDF.
 * Let me know if that helps or not.

 * Hi,
 * Font properties can be changed using [PDF editing software](https://pdfformsfiller.org/docs/create-pdf-file/#software-selection).

 * Is it possible for you to share a URL to the page that has the issue?
