Hello,

I have added the short code [e2pdf-view id="1"], however while they are filling out the form the PDF is not showing so they can see what exactly they are filling out. We want our clients to view the PDF before signing it and as they fill out the form it will show the information being filled in. Is this possible?

I currently have an HTML block with the short code in it but it is not showing the PDF.

E2PDF need to show the PDF on front end.PNG

Hello,

Unfortunately, the [e2pdf-view] shortcode can only be used in the success message, after the entry is submitted. It cannot generate the PDF or reflect changes in real-time at the moment.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Okay, thank you. You said at the moment, is this a future feature?

We have this point on our TODO list, but currently, there is no ETA for its implementation.
