Email Before Download vs PDF Forms Filler for WPForms

6.x Release is Here! After a hiatus from EBD development, a community member has reached out and partnered with us to breathe life back into EBD! We have recently made updates to fix issues and enhance capabilities of EBD. Stay tuned for more to come in EBD v6.x and above! Email Before Download (EBD) presents your users with a form where they submit information, like their name and email address, prior to receiving a download. This plugin integrates with the popular Contact Form 7 and WordPress Download Monitor plugins, allowing you to create any form you like and manage/monitor your file downloads. You can also EXPORT a list of users that have downloaded files from the plug-in’s settings page. Prior to installing Email Before Download, please confirm each of the dependent plugins is already installed and working independently. As an option, you can configure Email Before Download to: Display a link to your file directly under the contact form once it is submitted. This happens dynamically, inline of your post/page. Send the user an email with a link and/or attachment to download your file.

This plugin allows WPForms users to add PDF attachments filled with form submission data to notifications and confirmations of WPForms. If the PDF attachment has a PDF form, the plugin allows users to add fields to the WPForms form and/or link them to fields in the PDF. The plugin also allows the attached PDF files to be embedded with images supplied by the WPForms fields. The filled PDF files can be saved on the web server. When your website visitor submits your WPForms form, the form in the PDF file is filled with the form information, images are embedded and the resulting PDF file is attached to the WPForms notification. The resulting PDF file can also be downloaded by your website visitors if this option is enabled in your form’s options. What makes this plugin special is its approach to preparing PDF files. It is not generating PDF documents from scratch. It modifies the original PDF document that was prepared using third party software and supplied to the plugin. This allows users the freedom to design exactly what they need and use their pre-existing documents. An external web API (https://pdf.ninja) is used for filling PDF forms (free usage has limitations). Please see Pdf.Ninja Terms of Use and Pdf.Ninja Privacy Policy. Please see the tutorial video and the documentation for detailed information.
