Descrição

Gravity PDF is the ultimate self-hosted solution for dynamically creating digital PDF documents using Gravity Forms and WordPress.

Highly Customisable PDFs

Out of the box you receive four highly-customisable PDF designs. Within minutes, you can personalise the look and feel by adding your company logo, header, footer, paper size / orientation, font, color and size. If these designs don’t suit, select a new one from the Template Shop, go Bespoke, or build your own using HTML/CSS/PHP.

Send as Email Attachment

Gravity PDF can automatically email the PDF to both the admin and the user as soon as the form is completed. Try combining this feature with one of Gravity Forms payment add-ons (like Stripe, Square, or PayPal) to delay the email until the payment is complete.

Privacy, Security, and GDPR

Gravity PDF generates PDFs on your web server, so no third-party service receives your data. Robust security protects your documents, and the plugin is GDPR-compliant for our European friends.

Digital document management with WordPress and Gravity Forms just became simple with Gravity PDF!

Free Feature

Unlimited Use, No Restrictions – There are zero hard limits to the number of PDFs you can configure across all your forms or generate on your entries. Gravity PDF does NOT stamp documents with our logo, limit the number of PDFs you can create per month, or purposefully restrict essential functionality to force you to upgrade to a paid plan.
Privacy and Security – your form data is never sent to a third party to generate the PDFs and the documents are generated directly on your web server. Strong access control policies are put in place to prevent unauthenticated access to your PDFs.
Multilingual – a multitude of languages from across the globe can be displayed in PDFs, include complex scripts like Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
Additional Fonts – match your branding and enhance the overall look and feel of PDFs by install your own fonts.
Columns – use Drag and Drop columns in Gravity Forms and PDFs will automatically mimic that layout.
Shortcode and Merge Tags – You can generate a link or URL to PDFs using both shortcodes and merge tags so your users can download the PDF right after form submission.
Export Entries – include the direct link to any PDF(s) when exporting your form entries
Webhooks Add-on – send the direct PDF link with Webhook requests when using Gravity Forms Webhooks add-on.
Gravity Flow – create complex workflows using Gravity Flow and automatically email Gravity PDF-generated documents at any step in the workflow.
GravityView – add links to PDFs when building a members area using GravityView + Advanced Filtering add-on.
Background Processing – generating PDFs on form submission can be time consuming. Offload it to a background process will ensure form submissions are processed faster.
Design PDFs – developers can build their own PDF templates using HTML, CSS, and PHP with the help of our developer documentation.
Documentation and Support – there is extensive documentation covering every feature of Gravity PDF that you can comb through, plus we provide free general support to all users.

Unlock More Functionality

Pay for additional PDF designs and functionality from our online store.

New Designs – get access to 9 additional universal designs, 6 certificates, 4 invoices, and 3 letter styles
Additional customizations – watermark PDFs with your own logo or text, control fields that should be displayed per PDF, add field descriptions, display all checkbox or radio field options, add notes, show field values instead of labels, and hide the product table
On-screen Preview – allow users to preview the PDF before form submission (and optionally payment) so they can see what the end result will be. This is a great feature for capturing e-signatures, selling PDF reports / certificates / gift cards, or providing an on-screen proof before the PDF is sent to the printers (perfect for business cards).
Bulk Download – search, filter, and select entries and then zip up all your PDFs and download all together in a convenient zip file

You’ll find detailed installation instructions at docs.gravitypdf.com.

If you aren’t able to meet the v6 minimum requirements you can download v5 which we still provide support for.

Disclaimers

When you activate Gravity PDF on your website and Gravity Forms isn’t installed a notice will be displayed in the admin area that includes an affiliate link to the Gravity Forms website.
After activating the plugin you will be prompted to run the Core Font Installation tool so Gravity PDF can function correctly. This tool will download the fonts from a public GitHub repository (maintained by Gravity PDF). For further information about GitHub you can refer to their Terms of Service and/or Privacy Statement.
A Help page is provided in the plugin’s settings with an instant search feature of the Gravity PDF documentation, and the search is powered by Algolia. For further information about Algolia you can refer to their Terms of Service and/or Privacy Statement.

Was up and running on a small task to convert a Gravity Form into a letter of support for an Arizona non-profit in a matter of minutes. The Gravity PDF plugin was easy to setup and configure. Gravity PDF support was able to assist with hiding the signature URL printed on the PDF in less than 24 hours. The solution for those scratching their heads on how to hide the Gravity Form signature add-on URL was to exclude the default signature field from the PDF so the label wasn't displayed using the CSS class "exclude" (along with all the other fields), move the letter content from the PDF Header setting to an HTML field in the form, and finally wrapping the GF Signature merge tag in an IMG tag. Which looks something like this: Sincerely, <img src="{Signed:10}&t=1" height="10mm" /> {Name (First):1.3} {Name (Last):1.6} {Title:12}

Great plugin for creating PDF from forms. Only disadvantages that you have to know php to create decent pdf templates and that it does not integrate with Gravity Dropbox Add-on.

joshuabl 16 Junho, 2022

I implemented a custom pdf template but then ran into some permission issues that prevented some users from seeing their pdf. Contacted support and they were extremely helpful (just turned out I had to exclude the pdfs from my website cache and varnish cache). Always nice when a plugin support team provides you with real help and not just copy & pasted answers from their documentation. Thanks for the help Jake!
