Generate PDF Documents Automatically from WordPress Forms Submissions
If you have a WordPress website you can generate documents in PDF, Word, or Powerpoint from form submissions.Â
Generate certificates, agreements, contracts, badges, letters, or any other document you want.
Why use ActiveMerge to generate documents instead of another plugin?
PDF generation is an intensive process that requires CPU and memory. Most PDF generation plugins will not work in all hosting enviroments, this means higher costs or hosting upgrades.
With ActiveMerge you only send data to our app and we handle the document generation, your website is afe, it doesn’t add load and you keep it fast while the PDFs or documents are created.
Security-wise, using ActiveMerge is safer, we scan and update our app every week, plugins are updated way less often and can add security headaches to your WordPress website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I generate multiple types of PDFs from the same form?
Yes. You can configure multiple templates and use our workflows. Each form entry will then be able to generate multiple types of documents.
Send Files as Email Attachments
ActiveMerge can automatically email the PDF to the user and site owner as soon as the form is submitted and the document is generated.
How hard is it to create custom templates?
Not hard at all, to create templates you can use Google Docs, Word or other editors that can create DOCX files or Powerpoint PPTX. The templates require smart {placeholders} that are replaced by data, that’s it.
