Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form pdf” and “pdf contact form” for “form pdf” and “form to pdf”. “contact form pdf” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “form pdf” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pdf contact form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “form to pdf” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.9%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 12.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ donowelfare5mo ago
It is very easy to use: I composed the PDF dragging blocks called “elements” and they are linked to CF7 form field content. And I think it is also convenient: one purchase the PRO version (embed other PDF, conditional logic, etc.) paying one time and not each year. Last but not least, the support is excellent: I feel they are willing to solve the issues the customer might have. This topic was modified 1 month, 1 week ago by donowelfare. Reason: syntax error
