Arclab® Web Form Builder
Create Custom PDF Email File Attachments using TCPDF or FPDF PHP Library
Create Custom PDF using TCPDF or FPDF
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).
