    I have a mult-value selectable drop down menu in Contact Form 7. It is mapped to a field in my PDF file that also has mult-select items. I have also tried changing the field in the PDF to text adn a drop down box. No matter what I try the values I select in Contact form 7 will NOT populate into my PDF form. Can someone tell me how to get this to work please?

    I just checked and it is working for me. Can you send me your PDF file, the name of the field you are trying to populate and your CF7 tag? My email is admin at maximum dot software.

    Thank you for the reply. I have not been able to resolve this with any field in Contact Form 7 that uses multiple selection values. There doesn’t seem to be a corresponding field type in Adobe PDF to map multiple selections. For example I have a field like this in Contact Form 7 that allows the user to select multiple values in the form

    <label>Personality-select ALL applicable <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>(required)</span></label>
    [select pdf-field-all-1_personality-MV9QZXJzb25hbGl0eQ include_blank multiple “Aggressive” “Friendly” “Scared” “Shy”]

    So what field type does PDF need in order for the values to populate? I have tried a text, list and dropdown type of field and none will accept the multiple values.

    Thank you.

    I don’t believe you can have multi-select dropdowns. You can, however, have multi-select lists.

    I’m trying to test multi select lists right now and I’m not having much luck. I will have to get back to you on this.

    It turns out multi-select lists are not supported by the plugin right now. I looked at it and it appears that I will need to fix a number of issues to make it work. I am planning to have that ready in the next release.

    Thanks for validating that. I look forward to the new functionality in the next release.
