 * Hi, I want to create a shortcode like [e2pdf-download id=”8″] but that saves 
   the pdf for future viewing/downloading. I’ve been use [e2pdf-download id=”8″]
   to create a post with each submission via formidable forms but my E2PDF shortcodes
   are not working in the post. Is there any way to automatically save the pdf after
   it’s created? Are there any special shortcodes I can use?
 * Thank you
    Kim

 * Hi,
 * You must be able to use [e2pdf-save id=”8″] shortcode to save PDF.

 * As about showing PDF on Post creation you can try to choose using “Post Content”
   as “Customize Post Content” and use the “View” with shortcode inside:
 * `[e2pdf-download id="8" dataset="[id]"]`
