Hi,
The field mapper tool allows you to create field mappings. There are 2 drop-down lists: ‘CF7 field’ and ‘PDF field.’ In order to create a mapping, make a selection with both drop-down lists and click the ‘Add Mapping’ button. This should add the mapping below. This mapping will tell the plugin which user input (CF7 field) to fill into which PDF field.
If you don’t have a CF7 field then you can generate the form tag for it based on the properties of your PDF field. Simply select a PDF field in the ‘PDF field’ drop-down list and click the ‘Insert and Link’ button. This will insert a form tag into your CF7 form at the current cursor’s position and create a mapping for it.
You can start out with a blank CF7 form and click ‘Insert & Link All’ to generate tags for all of your PDF fields and map them in a single step.
Please take a look at the docs page about mapping fields:
https://pdfformsfiller.org/docs/cf7/tools/mapping-file/
If you are saying that not all the PDF fields appear in the drop-down list then that means either the have already been mapped in the list below or they are somehow not visible to the back end code. If you can send your PDF and the fields that are not listed to my email admin at maximum dot software, I will see if I can debug the issue.
The image mapper tool is used when your CF7 field is an image file upload or something that contains an image URL. It allows you to embed user-provided images into your PDF. It doesn’t need a PDF field, you just need to select a page and coordinates where you need the image embedded. You don’t actually need a CF7 field to embed images. You can embed them directly from a URL.
Please take a look at the docs page about embedding images:
https://pdfformsfiller.org/docs/cf7/tools/image-embedding/
Please don’t use the tag generator tool. It is just there for backwards compatibility. The field mapper tool is a lot more useful.
When you are inserting generated form tags, please make sure your form cursor is located where you want the new tags to go. If it is somewhere in the middle then it might mess up your form.
Let me know if this helps or not.
