<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<h4>Create your first document</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>EntryFoundry &gt; Add New EntryFoundry Template</strong>.</li>
<li>Choose Certificate, Document / Report, or Receipt / Simple Invoice.</li>
<li>Select the Formidable form that supplies the document data.</li>
<li>Choose an entry to use for the live preview.</li>
<li>Add or reposition fields, text, images, shapes, and tables.</li>
<li>Set the page background and document access mode.</li>
<li>Save the template.</li>
<li>Place the generated shortcode on a page or in a Formidable View.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Test a PDF manually</h4>
<p>Go to <strong>EntryFoundry &gt; Generate / Test PDF</strong>, enter the EntryFoundry template ID and Formidable entry ID, and click <strong>Generate PDF</strong>. Use the resulting download link to inspect the document.</p>
<h4>Shortcode examples</h4>
<p>The shortcode shown beside each template creates a PDF download link:</p>
<pre><code>[entryfoundry_template id="123" entry="[id]"]
</code></pre>
<p>Render the document as inline HTML:</p>
<pre><code>[entryfoundry_template id="123" entry="[id]" output="html"]
</code></pre>
<p>Embed the PDF viewer:</p>
<pre><code>[entryfoundry_template id="123" entry="[id]" output="view"]
</code></pre>
<p>You can also use the dedicated output shortcodes:</p>
<pre><code>[entryfoundry_download id="123" entry="[id]" label="Download PDF"]

[entryfoundry_view id="123" entry="[id]"]
</code></pre>
<p>Replace <code>123</code> with the EntryFoundry template ID. In a Formidable View, <code>[id]</code> resolves to the current entry ID.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>EntryFoundry Free generates and renders documents on your WordPress site. It does not send Formidable entry data to an external EntryFoundry document-generation service.</p>
<p>EntryFoundry includes the WordPress.org-compliant Freemius SDK for optional usage tracking, account management, and add-on licensing. The opt-in screen explains the information Freemius receives, and you can skip data sharing. Formidable form entries and generated document content are not sent to Freemius.</p>
