# Nexode Solutions Documentation

> Technical references and integration guides for Concrete CMS add-ons by Nexode Solutions. The documentation currently covers FormPDF PRO, an add-on that turns Concrete CMS Express form submissions into automatically generated PDF documents.

Nexode Solutions builds commercial add-ons for Concrete CMS 9.4 and later. This site is the official product documentation. Support requests are handled separately at [support.nexode-solutions.com](https://support.nexode-solutions.com).

## FormPDF PRO

FormPDF PRO (v1.0, requires Concrete CMS 9.4 or later) connects Concrete CMS Express forms to automatic PDF generation. When a visitor submits a form, the add-on can generate a formatted PDF, save it to the File Manager, email it as an attachment or secure link, and give the submitter a download link — all configured from the dashboard with no code. Typical uses are invoices, certificates, receipts, applications, and confirmations. The three core concepts are Rules (which form triggers generation and what happens after), Templates (the PDF layout), and Tokens (placeholders that inject submission data into output).

- [FormPDF PRO Overview](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro): Product landing page — what the add-on does, the generation flowchart, requirements, and a map of every documentation section.
- [Getting Started](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/getting-started): Six-step first-time setup in required order (Settings → Templates → Rules → Test run → Verify logs → Confirm file), plus a troubleshooting table for the most common setup failures.
- [Global Settings](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/global-settings): Set the default paper size (A4, Letter, Legal, A3) and orientation (Portrait, Landscape) applied to newly created templates. Existing templates are unaffected.
- [Templates](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/templates): Create, edit, preview, validate, and manage PDF layouts. Covers the three source types (Basic no-code builder, raw HTML in an Ace editor, External server-side file), the external-file rules and limitations, the validation scoring panel, and the template status lifecycle.
- [Rules](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/rules): Connect an Express form to a template and define what happens after generation. Covers ConditionBuilder (Always vs. conditional matching with operators), DeliveryBuilder (File Storage, Email, submitter experience), manual test runs, and rule lifecycle actions.
- [Token Reference](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/tokens): The `{{ token_name }}` placeholder syntax, the built-in token list (submission_id, submission_date, form_name, site_name, download_link, and others), where tokens can be used, and the available filters (upper, lower, date).
- [Submitter Experience](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/submitter-experience): Control what a frontend visitor sees after submitting a form — Default (no change), Download link (button on the success page), or Auto-download (starts automatically with a fallback link).
- [Secure Links](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/secure-links): Time-limited, signed download URLs that let a user retrieve a generated PDF without logging in. Covers the URL format, the four validation checks performed on access, and the three failure messages with their causes.
- [Execution Logs](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/execution-logs): The primary debugging tool. Covers the parent/child log hierarchy, filtering and search, the log detail modal fields, log deletion, and a step-by-step procedure plus failure-category table for diagnosing a failed execution.
- [Submissions](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/submissions): Browse form submissions linked to FormPDF PRO records, inspect submitted data, download generated PDFs, copy secure links, and regenerate a PDF with Run Again. This panel is read-only — submissions cannot be deleted or edited here.
- [Overview Dashboard](https://docs.nexode-solutions.com/addons/formpdf-pro/overview-dashboard): At-a-glance health check showing active rule count, template count, 24-hour success rate, the five most recent executions, and top form handles by submission volume.
