Export pdf and send form by email

AlexR 16 Jun, 2013
Hi,

I;m new to ChronoForms and looking forward to its use. I'm in some testing stages now.

I've seen some posts about pdf exports, but not sure I found any solution to this:

On submit, I would like to have a completed form sent to specific (multiple) email addresses. Ideally the name of the document would follow this naming convention: formname_dateformsubmitted.pdf

I know there is a php script out there to trigger this action so its a start.

If anyone has a tip on how to accomplish this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi AlexR,

The place to start is to use the Contact Us tab above to ask Max for a copy of the PDF action; then you can see if that will create the document that you need.

There is a FAQ on attaching files to an Email.

Thanks Bob. I did see the FAQ, but I'm not sure that will help in my case (unless I misunderstood). What I was looking for is away to export the results of a submitted form as a pdf and have that emailed to admin.

I'll contact Mas as you suggested.

Appreciate the quick response!

Hi AlexR,

The PDF action will let you create a PDF including elements from your form and save it as a file on the server. You'll then need to attach that in the Email action to send it.

That sounds like what I need. How do I go about attaching it in an email? Is that a setting in Chronoform?
