Hi,

i'm trying to upload a pdf (it was working until a couple of hours ago) and it says PDF can't be parsed. I tested in different broswer, changed api server, deactivate other plugins and the connection under debug says success. May you help me? Thank you

Hi,

Check please if PDF Processor is set to "Stable" at "E2Pdf" -> "Settings". If yes, can you please attach PDF to the next message please so we can try to test it from our side?

P.S. You can mark message as "Private" so only we can see the message.


We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi,

Gravity Forms output HTML encoded currency symbol. So you can:

1. Convert it to € symbol by updating the field "Value" as:

[e2pdf-format-output filter="html_entity_decode"]{total:1}[/e2pdf-format-output]

2. Or if you need to remove it completely use the construction below:

[e2pdf-format-output search=" €" replace=""]{total:1}[/e2pdf-format-output]

We remain at your service.

Thank you very much. One last question: how the client can put his signature once i send to him this pdf (i checked pdf flatten because i don't want that he can't modify the fields). Thank you

Hi,

It can be signed with any 3rd party PDF editor or a signature can be placed by E2Pdf upon form submission with the form "Signature" field.

P.S. It's also possible to have PDF not flattened and set needed fields to "Read Only" via "Right Mouse Click" -> "Properties", however, if you need the client's drawn "Signature" it must be used 3rd party software to place it in PDF.
