Hi,
Unfortunately E2Pdf doesn’t support merging multiple datasets from different forms at this moment. Currently it’s possible to merge just 2 entries from different forms with Formidable Forms + E2Pdf.
We remain at your service.
thankyou so much for the reply.
is there a possibility to generate one form in multiple pdf’s pages, I want to have at the end only one pdf with multiple pages.
I hope I give you an idea of what I’m looking for, I look forward for your response and thankyou again for your interaction
There is a workaround to merge more than one form using a Formidable View Shortcode as the Value: of the PDF field.

Thank you very much for your suggestion
mmm can u explain how to do it, it may solve a problem i have but its unclear to me what u mean with: There is a workaround to merge more than one form using a Formidable View Shortcode as the Value: of the PDF field.

Hi,
E2Pdf can merge 2 datasets submitted to different Formidable Forms to the single PDF (E2Pdf Template) and not multiple PDFs.
To accomplish the task:
It must be created E2Pdf Template, connected to Formidable Forms and to item named “Merged Items”. It will allow you to choose 2 forms. After this you must able to map E2Pdf Template with shortcodes from both.
To export 2 entries you can use backend at “E2Pdf” -> “Export” or build shortcode inside the Formidable Forms View with the shortcode:
[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="[123]" dataset2="[124]"]
* where [123] will be replaced by Formidable Forms to first Entry ID and [124] will be replaced with second Entry ID.

mmmm i case of formidable forms, how would i know the dataset to use?
I put an entry in a form, that form with known dataset calls e2pdf to create the pdf, but there is no real way of knowing the dataset of the other form.
perhaps a hidden lookup or smth, interesting
But hahah if i use a hidden lookup for an other dataset of other form, then i already have it in the first form, so no need

Hi,
Currently, it’s possible to choose multiple datasets dynamically only via “E2Pdf” -> “Export”.
If you need to generate PDF with multiple form datasets on user submissions – yes, it must be created custom logic / php hooks to save the 2nd Entry ID in some hidden field upon form submission to make it work correctly.
