send pdf by email after html to pdf action

Hi,
i use chronoforms v4.
After read this guide
http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/4133-how-can-i-create-a-pdf-including-form-results-.html

FROM
 if($PDF_view != 'F'){
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
$mainframe->close();
}

TO
 if($PDF_view != 'F'){

if ( $PDF_view == 'I' || $PDF_view == 'FI' ) {
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
$mainframe->close();
}
}

if i select only download (other forms with this "view" ) i get pdf document corrupt.

thanks

Hi lapo78,

What exactly is the problem you are having?

Hi lapo78,

If you save the file to the server and download it from there is that also corrupt?

Hi lapo78,

You could save the pdf to the server, then show the User a message including a download link. Direct downloads are not always the most useful solution :-(

Hi lapo78 ,

Sorry I have no idea. I believe that the TCPDF library is the same so you might get the same problem.

the problem is the TCPDF library or the fix bug ? Without fix bug download "view" works fine.
thanks

Hi lapo78,

The bug fix is old - it may have been fixed in the TCPDF action if you have a later version. If it works without the bug fix that sounds good to me.
