Hi,
I have an idea and I'd like to know if this is possible.

The user fills out a forminator form and slects from a list of PDF files which one they want to merge the data with. When they submit the form the PDF appears with the info you just submitted filled in.

Hi,

It's supported by "Formidable Forms" as they have "Conditional" logic on "Success Message" and "Emails", however "Forminator Forms" doesn't support it yet directly. In theory it's possible to do with custom hooks by modifying "Success Message" or "Email" body.

thanks for letting me know. ok I'm close to starting work on this. I bought a 2 template license. What would be the best way to be able to utilize all those PDFS I sent you earlier in my other post so that the user can fill them out? He only wanted two templates and he wants everything to work within that.

It will be possible to connect only 2 PDFs, as 1 PDF = 1 E2Pdf Template. Just upload PDF upon creation E2Pdf Template, connect to needed form (or create form automatically), map fields if needed and use needed shortcodes to output PDF download link or send attachment inside email.

Some examples how to work with our plugin you can find on our YouTube channel here.

ok will definitely look at that but if I go buy formidable, this method could be achieved with just the 2 templates and doing the list of PDFS correct? also is the conditional portion part of Formidable $49 1 site version?

No, it will not work like this. With "Formidable Forms" you can just change the ID of E2Pdf Template to proceed.

Each PDF must be converted into E2Pdf Template as there must be "mapped" fields and positions (which data must be printed in needed places, fields, etc).

P.S. $49 Formidable Forms includes Conditional Logic.

If I want to switch out my license for the 10 or 40 template version can I pay you the difference?

Yes, sure. You can upgrade your License Key at any time. In your "Licenses" page inside "Dashboard" you must see "Upgrade" button. You will need just to pay the difference. So you can just check with your current "License Key" if it will fit all your needs and upgrade if nedeed.
