For the person who submitted the form
Immediately after a successful submission, the user sees a Download button on the confirmation screen. Clicking downloads the generated PDF or DOCX to their device.
This link is served through a secure, expiring URL — not a direct file path. The link works only for a configurable window (default: 72 hours) after submission.
For you (the site admin)
- Go to DocuMerge → Submissions.
- Click the Document link in the row for any submission.
- The file downloads immediately.
Admins have permanent access to every stored document. The 72-hour expiry applies only to the submitter-facing link.
Where the files are stored
Generated documents live in /wp-content/uploads/wprobo-documerge-lite/documents/. The directory has a .htaccess file that blocks direct HTTP access, so the files are only reachable through DocuMerge’s authenticated handler.
Re-generating a document
Lite does not include a re-generate button. If a template changes and you want new documents, submit a new entry. (Pro adds a re-generate option.)
Deleting a submission
Deleting a submission from the list also deletes the generated document from disk. This is permanent.
