 * I am very pleased with the Author who has been very helpful with issues encountered
   which range from:
    a) java config b) css config c) server config specifically
   with system memory limits
 * However there could be a couple improvements:
    1) while the pro version provides
   the ability to manually export csv files for data collected, the FORM EMAILS 
   only provide an HTML template which doesn’t help with automating submissions 
   directly from EMAIL … to get around this I built/added a PHP script to the After
   Save Hook which automatically builds and exports any form submission in XML format
   as an attachment to the email. The script only requires a few hidden fields with
   tag details to be added to a form along with an upload-file field to contain 
   the XML FILE name (this is nothing more then ‘x’.$post_id.xml
 * 2) The PRO implementation of GDPR goes too far in that there is absolutely no
   record of online Form submissions/transactions … I have turned this option off
   and built/added logic to the after email hook which deletes: All Uploaded Files,
   AND, all Post and Post_meta records with the exception of the main Post and the
   first 3 meta records which contain the POST_ID, FORM_ID and SEQUENCE_ID … Now
   when you review the Form Entries from the Dashboard all the history is retained
   without compromising any user data
