Mapping FF File Field with ACF File and Image Field Type

I build a post creation form with Fluent Form plugin. Guest users will upload the doc or images via this form. So I add the File Upload field of Fluent Form into the post creation form and create a meta field (file upload field) for PDF file with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin at Dashboard. Current version of Fluent Form plugin is not supporting the ACF’s File field type. In this tutorial I am showing how you will map the Fluent Form’s file filed with ACF’s file and image field. Therefore user and admin can easily handle the file and images from both frontend and backend.

Minimum requirements for this tutorial
