Unexpected result from WPFormBuilder.fieldAdd()

  • Hi,

    Trying to upload an existing pdf that has a large number of fields to be mapped. On my 8Gb RAM laptop it eventually errors out on a memory issue, on a larger 32 Gb PC I get a large number of “Unexpected result from WPFormsBuilder.fieldAdd()” and I can’t save the fields that have already been mapped.
    Can’t see anything in the logs to help.

    Hi,

    How many fields does your PDF have?

    Would it be possible for you to send me your PDF file to my email (admin at maximum dot software)?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Did you receive my email with the PDF file?

    Hi Tom,

    I did and I replied but it sounds like you didn’t receive it.

    I tried using your PDF file on my system. When I hit the “Insert & Link All” button, it starts working fine but after a while just slows down to a crawl while adding WPForms fields. It was adding fields all night until I started getting session expired messages. I suspect the issue has to do with the low performance of WPForms’ front end JS code. It is just very slow when the number of fields is large.

    I tried it with my PDF Forms Filler for CF7 plugin and I didn’t have any issues with generating and mapping so many fields (1000+).

    I would not recommend having such a large number of fields, unless maybe if you are filling them automatically with smart tags. Still, it would take forever to built such a large form and set up such a large number of mappings. I think in your case what you need is a custom code solution, something that would programmatically generate the web form and fill the PDF without you having to manually build the form and create field mappings. I don’t know what your task requirements are, but maybe what you need is some front-end JS library that would load the PDF for the user in a frame and allow them to fill out directly as they appear on the PDF. Maybe something like this.

    Let me know what you think.

    Thanks.
