Hello Daanoz,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
Attach PDF, XLS, CSV to email ? for both v4 & v5
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

already found that page but not understand it. how to do it

Hi Daanoz,

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Hi Daanoz,

Looking in the background of your image it looks as though the Email action is before the TCPDF action- if that is correct, there is no file to attach when the Email is sent.

Bob

Hey GrayHead

Hi Daanoz,

Is the path setting in the TCPDF action a full absolute path? It looks to me as it if may be relative to the site root? I would expect ti to look more like /my_account/public_html/domain/pdfs/Lid-worden/ instead of just pdfs/Lid-worden/

Bob

i change it to

/domains/dielanden.nl/public_html/pdfs/Lid-worden/cf_pdf_file.pdf

stil got only a empty mail

Hi Daanoz,

By all means PM me the site URL, the form name, and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

Hi Daanoz,

I made a copy of your form with some changes

+ the full path is /home/h3landen/domains/dielanden.nl/public_html/pds/Lid-worden/ and this goes into the TCPDF action settings.

+ the Email action Attachments box only needs the name from the 'File name in Data/Files array' setting in the TCPDF action: cf_pdf_file

+ I also moved the actions out of the Check Captcha success event - they will work OK there but it's cleaner to avoid the extra nesting.

+ I renamed the form to remove the - which can cause problems with MySQL if you save data into a table. (Basically names with dashes need to be quoted as `table-name` when they are used in queries.)

+ I removed the spaces between the email addresses in the To Email box as ChronoForms sometimes hiccups on these.

+ I changed the Thank you message as {naam} isn't defined anywhere.

+ I added a Debugger action to see the output.

Now the PDF is being created correctly and the Debugger says that an email was sent with the attachment - but I didn't receive the email when I tested so you may need to check that.

Bob

Maybe something is really wrong with the path. Anyway it's difficult ot say something exact without seeing the site structure.
liol i wrote it without noticing Bob's answer =) Sorry =) I hope now all will work correctly and the problem will be solved.

Great its working fine I one you a coffee😉
