If you are not aware, FF has added a new Addon related to printing entries as a PDF and attaching them to e-mail through e-mail action! Great job Strategy 11. Check out the youtube introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FAxTx3JFR8

replied 2 years ago Hey Steve, are there any plans to add the PDF "design" to the built-in Formidable Styler?

replied 2 years ago Good question Walter. Ideally you would be able to build a view and convert whatever that content looks like to PDF. That would be flexibility at it's finest! haha

replied 2 years ago Yes, I am in %100 agreement. Right now it basically formats the entry like it does the backend when downloaded from a view.

We have discussed creating templates or style options. We’ve also discussed the ability to turn a view into a PDF.
Currently, you can only customize the content using the short code, but there are no style options yet.
Keep in mind this is an MVP version of this add-on. We definitely are listening to feedback to prioritize the next enhancements and features we add.

<p>I know this is easy, but I have a mental block. Their code for a view has x= entry id. But x=[id] doesn't work dynamically and throws a critical error. How then to pull the entry in dynamically in a view?</p>
Here is the documentation: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/pdfs/
We are able to replicate the issue you are seeing with a view, there seems to be an issue with the add-on installer. it is missing a folder. Apologies for the bug. keep an eye out for an update soon.
Thanks Steve, I was going crazy trying to figure it out.
