PDF Export

Is it possible to export a data record saved in ChronoForm to a PDF?

From the admin area directly no, but you can build a form to read the record(s) and convert them.

You can read the records using the Read Data action then reference the values inside a TCPDF action, values can be referenced after reading using the {var:read_data.field_name}

Thanks for the info.

I don't quite understand. I have a blank PDF and naturally want to write all the data into it.

Hey Max,

Could you please help me again or send me some instructions?

Or is there a demo version where I can see this? The demo during the installation process isn't sufficient. I'd like to buy the component, but a PDF with a signature is necessary.

Thanks!

Cheers

Hi sasha

This tutorial explains how to create a PDF:

if your form has a Signature Pad then you can use the signature image URL in the PDF content, use it as the "src" attribute of an "img" HTML tag
