Automatic PDF Form Filling with WordPress
WordPress users!
Do you need your website visitors to fill a PDF form? Make it easy for them by building a contact form and setting up automatic PDF form filling. You can use the Contact Form 7 plugin or WPForms plugin to build your form and the automatic PDF form filling itself can be accomplished using the PDF Forms Filler for CF7 plugin or the PDF Forms Filler for WPForms plugin. Your PDF file will automatically be filled and attached to your form submission email messages or provided in form submission responses.

Step 3 – Create a Form

No special software is necessary on your web server. The PDF Forms Filler for CF7 plugin and the PDF Forms Filler for WPForms plugin both use WordPress core functions and the Pdf.Ninja web API to fill PDF forms (subscription is necessary for professional usage). However, if you need all filling to be done directly on your web server, the Enterprise Extension plugin is also available.
