Dear,

I created a Formidable Pro Form which has multiple entries (information) related to the member and it's a detailed application form.
Then I created a Formidable View of member's profile
All I need is ... when member view their profile they can download PDF of their application.
I check and found the dataset which is useless if I have to assign every time new data set for every member.
I need a shortcode that I can place in a view that will download PDF only for a specific member.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Inside Formidable Forms View you need to use E2Pdf shortcodes with "dataset" attribute as:

[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="[id]"]

[id] - must remain as [id] as it will be converted to Entry ID by Formidable Forms View.

So displaying E2Pdf download links / views / etc will depend on the "View" filter. For example, if you need to show only entries which are created by the current user - you need to filter Formidable Forms View by User ID field as described here: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/filtering-entries/#kb-by-current-user.

P.S. E2Pdf will just render its own shortcodes but which entries are shown are controlled by Formidable Forms View.

We remain at your service.
We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi,

You can try to modify view shortcode to:

[e2pdf-view id="1" responsive="true"]

or

[e2pdf-view id="1" responsive="page"]

or set "height" manually as:

[e2pdf-view id="1" height="1000"]

We remain at your service.
