Hello,
It would require PHP and JS knowledge. One of the possible solutions:
1. You must create the button to trigger an Ajax call and pass the Entry ID to your main PHP function to generate and save PDF.
It must be possible to generate JS code by using the [id] - shortcode in the "Success Message" / Formidable Forms View. An example of creating such call in the 1st accepted answer: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/313643/how-to-call-a-php-function-with-ajax-when-the-user-clicks-a-button.
2. Set the "PDF Local Name" (the screenshot is attached) to:
[e2pdf-format-output sprintf="%03d"][e2pdf-user id="current"][/e2pdf-format-output].[e2pdf-format-date format="d.m.Y"]now[/e2pdf-format-date].[150]
By default, it must save a PDF with the name: 025.05.03.2024.asset.pdf. As you can see there is no yet index in the end, we will get back to it later.
3. In the PHP function that will generate the code, that is used for Ajax call, it needs to use the logic as follows:
$pdf = do_shortcode('[e2pdf-save id="1" dataset="' . $entry_id . '" dir="wp-content/uploads/" output="path" apply="true"]');
* where $entry_id - is the Entry ID passed via JS / Ajax call to PHP
The $pdf variable will contain the path to the generated and saved PDF. At that stage, the PDF will be saved as: wp-content/uploads/025.05.03.2024.asset.pdf
After that, when you have the PDF generated, you need to manipulate that saved PDF to add the index to the end. For example, you can extract the PDF name, count the PDF files that start with the same name, create the required index 01, 02, 03, etc, add it to the end of the name, and rename the current PDF.
