Output submitted form as a PDF attachment

[antonitus]

Is there any way to output a submitted form as a PDF email attachment?

Hi Antonitus,

I'm afraid not. In the past, I've had this requested from a few clients - and even hacked together a custom solution for one of them, but there's nothing on the roadmap for adding this just yet.

Sorry about that!

I did that by using fpdf library. In the email template i have included PHP code that creates PDF, stores it in a temporary file and then attaches it to the mail.

Example of the HTML Template for the mail:

{php}

global $fields;

require ('path/scripts/fpdf17/fpdf.php');

$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');


$pdf->Output('temp/form.pdf');

{/php}

{$attachment file="/temp/form.pdf"}

<p>
Thanks for your submission!
