The ARForms – PDF Creator Addon is a powerful extension for the popular ARForms WordPress plugin. It’s designed to bridge the gap between form submissions and professional documentation by automatically generating PDF files from user-submitted data.
Key Features & Functionality
-
Drag-and-Drop Editor: You don’t need to know CSS or HTML. It features a visual template builder where you can place form fields exactly where you want them on the PDF page.
-
Automated Delivery: It can automatically attach the generated PDF to the email notifications sent to either the admin or the user immediately after a form is submitted.
-
Conditional Logic: This is a standout feature. You can set rules so that a PDF is only created if certain conditions are met (e.g., only if the user selects “Request Invoice”).
-
Multiple Templates: You can create different PDF designs for a single form. For example, one “Internal Record” template for your team and a “Professional Receipt” for the customer.
-
Branding & Customization:
-
Add custom logos, headers, and footers.
-
Change paper sizes (A4, Letter, etc.) and orientation.
-
Support for custom fonts and RTL (Right-to-Left) languages.
-
-
Security: You can password-protect the generated PDFs to ensure sensitive data remains private.

Contracts & Agreements: Combine with the ARForms Signature Addon to create signed PDF contracts.
