Hi!

I'm using Joomla! 3.4.3.

I want to buy the ChronoForms extension (3 validation keys + PayPal actions ultimate) but I have a question about a functionality that I definitely need:

When a user submits a form (lets say a contact form) I want the ChronoForms extension to be able to send automatically a PDF file, as an attachment, via e-mail to the Administrator and to the User. The attached PDF I want to have my own formatting style (fonts, tables, pictures, background with my logo), my own text and some information extracted from the form's values (e.g. "lastName" textbox value, "comments" textbox value, e.t.c.).

Does ChronoForms extension provide this feature?

Thank you

Hi MinimalTech,

Yes and no . . . there is a TCPDF action that you can download from here and install. The action installs a full copy of the TCPDF library but only implements a limited subset of the features in the action which are more than adequate to produce a PDF version of the form data. However, it doesn't really support background images and some of the other things that you may need.

Once the library is installed you could though write PHP in a Custom Code to do anything that TCPDF supports.

Thank you very much Bob!

I will explore TCPDF's features and if I have further questions, I'll let you know. 😀
