With GravityPDF is there a way to automatically add a PDF to every form created by default, rather than having to manually add a PDF each time?

Just in case anyone has the need to do the same in future, the following snippet will auto add PDF’s to existing and new Gravity Forms.

```auto
add_action( 'init', function() {
	
    if ( class_exists( 'GPDFAPI' ) ) {

        // change $settings to reflect your Form Name and the template you're using

        $settings = array(
            'name' => 'Form Name',
            'template' => 'template-name',
            'filename' => 'File-Name',
        );

       // Gets all Gravity Forms
		
		$forms = GFAPI::get_forms();

      // Loops through each Gravity Form
		
		foreach($forms as $form) {

         // $pdfexists = 0 each loop
			
		$pdfexists = 0;

        // Gets Gravity Form Id
			
		$form_id = rgar( $form, 'id' );

               // Gets all PDFS for the Gravity Form
			
		$pdfs = GPDFAPI::get_form_pdfs( $form_id );

		foreach ( $pdfs as $pdf ) {

              // Loops through all PDFS and if PDF already exists then exits loop
			 
        if ( $pdf['name'] === $settings['name'] ) { $pdfexists = 1; break 1;}
		
		 }

            // If the PDF does not already exist, add PDF
			
		if ($pdfexists != 1) { $pdf = GPDFAPI::add_pdf( $form_id, $settings ); }
			
	}
    }
	});

```
