PHP Error and wrong pdf output

Hi haelodadon,

If I understood you, you have a page with a form and when you click the PDF button the form is not printed in the PDF?

about the error ‘Deprecated: Methods with the same name…’ are you getting this error in your browser? or did you copied this error from a support forum?

Thanks.

The dkpdf-button shortcode is added in the entries/view section of the formidable pro form so that it prints the entries of the specific form. And thru a shortcode, the entries/view will be displayed to a page. And once the dkpdf button is clicked, it will open a pdf page of a specific entry. This is how your plugin is supposed to work with formidable pro.

Here’s a link from the formidable forum with instructions about integrating your plugin with formidable: https://formidablepro.com/help-desk/to-jamie-dk-pdf-plugin/

But what happens instead, is the page where the shortcode for entries is added, is what the dkpdf displays as pdf.

The error is given to me by the formidable support team.

Hi haelodadon,

I just did a quick test installing the free version of Formidable Forms, I added the shortcode ([formidable id=”3″]) in a page, you can see it here:
https://wp.dinamiko.com/demos/dkpdf/formidable-forms/
As you can see the form is printed in the PDF, I didn’t add CSS for the form, but that can be done adding the CSS in DK PDF CSS setting (grabbing CSS from Formidable or adding your own).

What DK PDF does is get the HTML in the page and generate a PDF, in the above example is getting an html form, doesn’t matter if that was generated with Formidable Forms or with another plugin.

about this:

The dkpdf-button shortcode is added in the entries/view section of the formidable pro form so that it prints the entries of the specific form.

not sure if I can reproduce this in the free version, if so, please post here the steps for reproduce it.

another option will be trying formidablepro-2-pdf, did you tried it?

I didn’t try it but seems more focused in Formidable Form.

Thanks!

Yes, we tried it, but doesnt seem to work.

And the dkpdf works at first, then suddenly, while testing it, it did not work, not sure why.

Just create a View for a specific form and add the dkpdf shortcode in the content of that view. Publish the View to a page and that should be it.

Publish view: https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/publish-a-view/

1. Install DK PDF.

2. Go to your WordPress Settings > DK PDF Settings. Configure the settings that you want. The only thing I changed was the button text and align settings. I did NOT check anything for “Post types to apply”.

3. Publish your View on a page if it isn’t published already.

4. Insert [dkpdf-button] in the content of the View that you want to print.

Hi haelodadon,

Seems that create a view is only possible with the pro version of Formidable Forms:
https://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/create-a-view/
If so, I can’t create a view because I don’t have the pro version.

I suggest you try another PDF plugin, did you tried these?

Thanks.

I’ve tried the first plugin you gave and it is not working for me.

What only confuses me is that your plugin used to worked on the first 3-4 tests, then on the 5th test or preview of the pdf, it started not to work. So not sure what went wrong.

Was there no php error? because the formidable staff themselves said it is the issue.

Hi. If ever I give you the admin logins to the site for you to check, can I give it to you privately? And can you look into it?

How can I provide you the logins privately?

Just please do check. We still believe your plugin is the only way this can be done. And we’ll be purchasing the premium one if this works.

Hi haelodadon,

OK write to me at [email protected] with access login and the steps for reproducing the problem.

Thanks,
