Long time user and I have several forms that use the signature field that have been working for years. This week I have twice generated pdfs that have a text path to the signature instead of the signature. This is being email to us from the site.

I can go to e2pdf dashboard and generate one with the recent data and the signature exports correctly. The signature is being correctly captured in formidable.

This happened on 2 different forms on the same site.

Hello,

This issue may occur because the website could not retrieve the image over the HTTPS protocol for some reason—either the website was unavailable or it blocked access to the URL.

To avoid this, you can try changing the value of the signature field to force E2Pdf to retrieve the image locally firstly.

[e2pdf-format-output explode="?" output="{0}"][109 show="url"][/e2pdf-format-output]

* where 109 is your signature field id.
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!
