Create Custom PDF using TCPDF or FPDF
The Developer Edition of
Web Form Builder allows you to execute your own PHP code after submitting
the form. This can be used to create a PDF document that can be attached
as a file to the email sent by the form.
The program already
provides a basic framework for the PHP libraries TCPDF and FPDF, so
that you only have to define the text and the formatting of the PDF
document. All you have to do is add an additional task, which will be
executed before the email is sent. The PDF document is then automatically
attached to all subsequent emails.
Please note that the corresponding
PHP library
TCPDF or
FPDF must be available on your server. The library can be downloaded
from the manufacturer and unzipped into a folder on your web server
or installed with "composer".
Create PDF Email Attachments
Create a custom PDF document (e.g. invoice or contract) with data from the form and attach it to the email or autoresponder generated by the form.
Insert Data from the Form into the PDF Document
In addition to text, the PDF document can of course also contain
values from the form or input made by the user in the form. To do
this, you can access all the fields of the form and insert them
into the PDF document.
The available PHP variables (form
field variables) are displayed in the code editor and can be inserted
by simply clicking on the field name. You can use this function,
for example, to create automatic invoices or contracts, which should
be supplemented with data from the form.
You can fully evaluate
the program using our test version.
The test version contains all features, but brands the form pages
with "Test-Version".
You can download
and test the software as long as you want on your own website (no
registration required).
