 * Hi I am trying out your plugin and am thinking about getting the paid version.
   I have a problem with your product though, its not listing all the pdf fields
   and there is no place to add them. Is there a way for me to tell the software
   where the field should be mapped to? At first I thought your image mapper did
   that but then when I submitted the form nothing happened. I then tried to use
   the tag generator at that messed with my whole form. Any ideas on how I can achieve
   this?

 * 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/](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/](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.
