Generate PDF using Contact Form 7

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 40% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Have been using this plugin to generate PDFs for a few years now and it has worked really well. The plugin developer was very accommodating and quick to fix a small layout bug.

   It’s one thing to have a great product, which they do, it is quite another to provide incredible support. These guys at Zealousweb have both. Their response time is unbelievably amazing. They answer your questions in a timely, professional manner. And they do so even for those using the free version of their product. This product, and another called Abandoned Contact Form 7 plugin solve our problems. Going forward, before I purchase a plugin from any vendor, I check them out first.

   Updated to version 4.0.9 to fix the problem of PDFs with sensitive data being publicly accessible. Despite this, I found that sensitive PDFs are still exposed on my domain and found on Google and Bing. The plugin fails to secure sensitive data as promised. If you need to protect confidential information, this plugin is unreliable. Search for: “PDF files found in Search Engines!” in the support forum to learn more.
