Hello,
I have a website on which I have configured 1 pdf template with e2pdf.
Configuring it was really hard and laborious. By "configuring" I mean, setting up all the dynamic texts, variables and images with e2pdf.
Now I need to replicate exactly the same pdf template on a different website.
Thus my questions are:
1) Would it be possible to export somehow all the configurations I set up for the 2nd website? (so that I do not have to set everything up again from scratch)
2) I might also need to create another template within the 1st website. The template would be the same as the original one I was talking about, just maybe it will have 1-3 more pages, but all the other pages would still be exactly the same. Thus my question is, would it be possible to export all these configurations within the same website in order to create another template from the current template I am usign?

Thanks!

Hi,

1. E2Pdf has feature to export/import E2pdf Templates to other websites. however the main problem that Formidable Forms has unique Fields IDs when you export/import their form as E2Pdf using Field IDs by default. "Visual Mapper" can be set to use Field Keys instead of Field IDs at "E2Pdf" -> "Settings" -> "Formidable Forms".

So here is couple of examples and possibilities to accomplish the task:

- If you didn't import form previously to 2nd website you can export E2Pdf Template along with "Item" and restore the "E2Pdf Template" and "Form" by selecting "Import Item" along with "Import" process. In this case "E2Pdf" will try to replace your already mapped Field IDs with new one.

- If the form was imported previously from 1st website you can export E2Pdf Template without importing item and check option to replace Field IDs with Field Keys as in most cases if the form was imported previously with Formidable Forms feature - they will remain the same. It will be need to reconnect E2Pdf Template to form via "Options" under "E2Pdf Template" and place correct [e2pdf-download]/[e2pdf-attachment] shortcodes to the form.

P.S. We highly recommend to do complete backup of your website and db before the process to avoid data loss.

2. To export E2Pdf Template on same website you can just use "Duplicate" option. It will recreate E2Pdf with same settings and mappings. Screenshot attached.
