Biggest opportunity: Swap “contact form pdf” and “pdf contact form” for “contract” and “form to pdf”. “contact form pdf” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “contract” sits at #19 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “pdf contact form” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “form to pdf” sits at #21 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

3.4%

of downloads still active

At least 400 of 11.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,668 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 4 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.

    If you need a solution to create pdfs from Gravity Forms, this is by far the best one to use. I tried many that always had various restrictions so I couldn’t achieve what I wanted. I needed to create a series of forms that produced branded invoice-like documents for clients, that would then send as pdfs and be available to download from a Gravity View listing. Out of the box this plugin was great, and then the support from the plugin creators has been great as they developed the features (few tweaks) I needed. Now it is amazing and I’m able to use this for several websites, and it’s extremely time saving for clients etc. Highly recommend and the PRO version is worth every penny.
