3.4%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 29K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,265 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders 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 5 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.

    PDF generator does not see all the available attributes. What is available in Email and in Submissions dashboard is far more then in the PDF generator. Looks like the shortcodes are matrched against the wrong source. Try to look into the code, but that is really …..

    This plugin saved so much time by eliminating the need to code Elementor form submissions into a PDF and attaching that PDF to an email. When creating the PDF template, support was responsive and even added requested functionalities. Highly recommend!

    Thanks to this plugin we have managed to generate pdfs directly from the form, which makes our work much easier. The operation is very intuitive, and the technical service solved my only query on the day, which surprised me very pleasantly.
