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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    The Interface Has to be one of the Most confusing and does not flow. Generally, coders should not be allowed to create the interface. I’ve worked in this industry and know this is true. You have a contact plugin and a form plugin merged into the same product. How confusing. These should be 2 separate plugins.

    been using this plugin to complete a very complex PDF form filling on a website we developed. After a couple of years we found an issue with an infinite spinning wheel when a user submitted the form. Their support team came in and got it fixed right away and was incredibly supportive. Best support I’ve ever received from a plugin developer. Highly Recommend!

    Thanks for the great plugin, it works perfectly, just a small bug I found about the success notification after submitting the form, besides that it’s all good

    This plugin is ideal for automatically filling pdfs based on data entered by users. It is a good complement for CF7. You can even add a handwritten signature to your pdf form thanks to its compatibility with the “Contact Form 7 Signature Addon” plugin. So yes you will probably need the PRO version to remove the watermark but it is a good investment. And then the FREE version allows you to test all the features of this plugin. I just have a suggestion for a better compatibility with the “CF7 Conditional Fields PRO” plugin by Jules Colle. For this I will open a support topic.

    If you need to use contact form 7 with PDF this is the best plugin out there. After numerous tries with all kinds of free and premium plugins, this is the far the best of them. The integration is perfect with API and contact form 7. Thanks for the plugin!

    After extensive comparison I ended up selecting this plugin (PRO version without watermark at 49 USD/year) in order to get a PDF file from a Contact Form 7 form. The good points of this plugin are: – you are allowed to make all the testing you want before deciding if buying the PRO version without watermark (the free version is for unlimited testing only) – the linking between Contact Form 7’s fields and the fields in the PDF is easy – you can upload different PDF files and have them filled at once (one field’s data can go to several places in the same PDF or, should be, in different PDFs) – I could create the PDF file and its fillable fields from the free LibreOffice Writer (it’s similar to Microsoft Word) – You can decide if the created PDF is still fillable or not (“flattened”) – I can add that you can have only certain fields still fillable if you make some of them “read only” while creating the PDF (in LibreOffice Writer) and set the whole PDF created by this plugin “not flattened”) Some important missing features are: – It is not possible to “trigger” a specific PDF file based on a specific answer in the form (the only option is not to have a PDF at all if all the fields are empty) – that would be a very important feature in order to get only the PDFs you actually need based on your selection – While a Contact Form 7 field data can go to different places in a PDF, the opposite is not possible (it means that a PDF field can receive a data only from one specific Contact Form 7 field) – multiple selections do not work – you have to create several “multiple” selection (one on top of the other) where you really have only one selection for each one This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by info2.

    Nothings worse than finding a great plugin, having a small issue and not getting any support. The support for this plugin was great with a response the next day. I had a minor issue which they helped me resolve quickly, and followed up after I had a second question just as quickly. Plugin and support both are great and was hard to find a plugin that does something similar, glad I got this working. 🙂
