  • Digital signatures in PDF forms, and Word doc forms are not supported.
  • Currently PDF form creation must be done in the flow designer. Adding an additional PDF as the output of an e-form will be added to the form designer in a future release.
  • Adobe XFA Forms are not supported. The tool that Adobe uses to create PDF's does not support integration with third party software. Use PDFescape to generate acroforms for mapping with Live Forms.
  • Password or sensitive text fields being transferred to a PDF form will be written in plain text if they are mapped to a PDF field.
  • PDF files support layers that can be turned on/off as a way of hiding and showing content dynamically. These are the underlying technology behind optional content groups. These can be manipulated programmatically as a way to dynamically build forms.

When the generation of Pixel Perfect PDFs for your flow is completed, and you have saved the updates, click on the  Test icon and run the flow and submit it. When you get to the form with the Form Viewer controls, be sure to check the generated Pixel Perfect PDFs such as the W - 4 etc.

The default value of the max_allowed_packet parameter in your MySQL server may not be large enough. Refer to this website for detailed information about the MySql configuration parameter.
 

...

Increasing the max_allowed_packet variable setting in your MySQL Server from the default (1M) to something like 16M (16777125) fixes the issue. To fix the issue temporarily, run the following commands:

  • mysql -u root
  • set global max_allowed_packet=16777216

To permanently set it, choose one of the two methods listed below:

  • You can add the parameter  - max_allowed_packet=16M to the mysqld command line or (mysqld_safe command line) as shown: 

 mysqld --max_allowed_packet=16M 

  • Edit the MySql configuration file (my.ini on Windows/ my.cnf on Mac OS) and add max_allowed_packet=16777216 to the [mysqld] section. 
Code Block
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet = 16M
  • Restart MySQL.
  • Restart frevvo. 
  • The setting will permanently take effect.

On Mac OS, you can access the my.cnf file by typing

    • sudo vi /etc/my.cnf
 The location of the my.ini/my.cnf file varies by configuration.
