May I know where you added that code?
I put it at the top of my pdf.php template file
Does anyone know how to get the form submission ID in a custom PDF template? You can use the filter:
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_submission_pdf_fetch_sequential_number', '__return_true' );
And that will add it to the DEFAULT template which just appends it to the start of the $table string that the default template uses, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it into the custom template. I can use get it AFTER the form has been submitted and saved to the database and then you go to Ninja Forms > Submissions and export the PDF... but not on the initial submission for the PDF that gets emailed.
Is there a trick for identifying the form number in a multi-site situation?
Thank you to the previous commenters for the other tips. :)
The trick that appears to be working for me is using site_url() to determine the site url and then matching it on the site url and the form number. if site_url() is my site, and form is my form_ID, then...
Buenas tardes! Hola a todos. I need help! I have 2 forms, but only one pdf.php, i need 2 forms, and, 2 pdf templates, understand me? Thanks!

Use if else conditions to display the correct data for each form.
<?php if ( $form_ID == 1 ){ echo $fields[field_key_value_form1]['value']; } elseif ( $form_ID == 2 ) { echo $fields[field_key_value_form2]['value']; } else { echo $table; } ?>
@baas411 i have the same issue as leyannots of multiple forms and want to have customized pdf for each one. please explain a little more in detail as i m not well versed in php. thanks
The if/else renders content for the pdf based on the id of the form. So if the form has id 1 then echo field_key_value_form1.
( $form_ID == 1 ) is the id of the ninja form.
field_key_value_form1 is the value from the form field (find it in ninja forms)
etc
Does anybody know all of the available values that are possible or how they relate to the merge tags?
The "label" tag in this shows me label for the radio field, but with the merge tag, {field:q1:label} shows the selected radio label under options. Is it possible to grab that data on this?
Example
I have a radio select with 4 options; Fully Met, Partially Met, Not Met and N/A. Each of those options have different values. The code shows the radio value, not the radio label.
I'd like to pull that Label to the PDF vs the radio value.
Bonus points question:
Has anybody successfully pulled a calculation onto the PDF form? My PDF needs to show a calculation value from the form...it is basically a quiz that our users take and I need to report the score. The merge tag for that is {calc:scoreval}.
Many thanks in advance!
Patrick,
Thanks for your plugin.
Allow me to contribute. Here's what I found. I'll give you the executive summary first and then ramble on with the details.
Ok, the longer version.
Hours and hours later....
I wanted to get my form into a
. The system apparently does not like the element.If I use , export does not work, if I remove it, I am fine.
I had a field named "qty_t-shirts" and it was pulling data from my first field... why? Who knows. Renamed to "qty_t_shirts" and all was fine.
My system seems to be really picky, even about my html and extra spaces after php code.
After CAREFULLY reviewing my entire layout in the pdf.php file and making sure I had no misspellings. My form was still failing. Next, I went through the form itself and looked at each Admin label. I found three misspellings in the form! Once I fixed them in the form, and made absolutely sure everything matched in pdf.php, it worked fine.
Here was my testing workflow. I filled out a form on my website then viewed it under "View Submissions." Once I was on that page, I could just stay there and click "Export to PDF" as I wanted to review my edits to php.pdf. The results were interesting. If you have an error in your php.pdf file, the page seems to do one of two things. It may load in your browser window up to the point of the error. This might help you track problems down to the line right after the printout fails.
Or, the form may not load at all... just a blank page.
Or, it may trick you and present the page but skip the download. Watch for this carefully.
If you have an error in you PHP code, you will probably just get a blank page.
If you have an error in a variable, it may skip that variable and still present your form on the screen. Unless you have a form where every field is populated with some test data, you may never know if a field is missing or not. In my example, if I had 0 t-shirts, the field would display but would be unpopulated. I needed to make sure that my test form had a number above 0 in that field.
In the perfect scenario, the PDF should download to your system AND be displayed on your screen. If either of these fail, something is wrong. I got faked out a number of times because things looked beautiful on the screen but I did not notice that the form did not download too.
One really weird issue occurred when I used a "dash" in a field name. As I mentioned above, I had a field named "qty_t-shirts". It was weirdly grabbing data from some other field... it appears that it was data from the first field on the form. After struggling with this for quite a while, and even changing the field name a couple of times... while still using a " - " in the word "t-shirt" (because that's how you spell t-shirt)... the error still occurred. Finally I thought that the " - " might be the problem. I changed the field name to qty_t_shirts and it worked perfectly. Don't use dashes, use underscores.
I now have a fully functioning, beautiful PDF receipt that I can easily modify with HTML and CSS. The client loves it and I am thrilled to have achieved this because I am a hack at all this.
Anyway... I sure hope this all helps someone else.
As Yoda said, "Failure... the best teacher it is." Frankly... I prefer to learn from someone else's failures, so I put mine out here for the world to see!
