Document include in plugin

== How to Use ==

The plugin integrates natively with Forminator through the Integrations system.

**Step 1 — Create a PDF template (You can ignore this if you are using the default template)**

1. Go to **PDF Templates** in your WordPress admin menu.
1. Click **New Template** and design your PDF with the drag-and-drop builder. Use merge tags to insert Forminator field values.
1. Publish the template.

**Step 2 — Activate the integration (one time only)**

1. Go to **Forminator > Integrations**.
1. Find **PDF Templates** in the list and click **Activate**.

**Step 3 — Connect a PDF template to your form**

1. Edit your form in the Forminator form builder.
1. Open the **Integrations** tab in the right-hand menu.
1. Click the **plus (+)** button next to **YeePDF Templates**.
1. Configure the options below and click **Save**:
   * **PDF Template** – the template to generate for this form (required).
   * **File Name** – the name of the generated file, without extension. Leave empty to auto-generate. Merge tags are supported, e.g. `invoice-{form_id}`, `{form_name}`, `{submission_id}`, `{date}`, or any form field tag like `{name-1}`.
   * **Password Protection** – encrypt the PDF with a password. Leave empty for no password. Merge tags are supported.
   * **Save a copy to Dropbox** – upload each generated PDF to your connected Dropbox account. This option is only available after you connect Dropbox under **PDF Templates > Settings**.

That's it. From now on, every submission of this form generates a PDF from the chosen template and attaches it to the form's email notifications.

To stop attaching the PDF, open the same Integrations tab and click **Deactivate** on the PDF Templates connection.
