Hi, lovin this extension.

What I am looking to do is from the form that I have created on the front end that the user puts in their details, I would like the same looking form to be sent to the end user in possibly a pdf and not a spreadsheet. So basically the user fills out an online form and that same (looking) form is sent to the end user as it appears on the web site. Just like someone filling out a paper form and handing it to the end user.

Hope I have explained it well enough!

The PDF plugin, does allow you to set up your own PDF layout (HTML format):

Hello Alex,

do you have any html example codes to create a PDF layout for the PDF plugin function?

I´m trying to write html code for the PDF plugin for hours now but can´t get the correct layout.
Are there any example code snippets which are editable to my needs?
Kaum macht man etwas richtig, schon klappt´s..

I too had problems getting the form info into PDF since I don't write HTML.

So I created the user email with the proper placeholders and formatting and got it the way I wanted it to look. I then used the toggle view, copied the contents of the window and then pasted it into the PDF setup area.
The PDF now looks very similar to the user email.

This may not be the "correct" way to do it but it worked for me.

In the User/Admin Emails pdf Attachment section you can try this:
<body>
</body>
<div style="width:100%;">
<h4 style="border-bottom:0.1px #999999 solid;">Form Title</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom:10px;"> <!-- for textbox -->
<label style="font-weight:bold;">My Label Title:</label>
<label style="border-bottom:0.1px #999 solid;padding:0 5px;background-color:#f9f9f9;">
{myField:value}
</label>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom:10px;"> <!-- for textarea -->
<label style="font-weight:bold;">My Label Title:</label>
<div>
<textarea cols="50" rows="5" style="height:100px;background-color:#f9f9f9;">
{myField:value}
</textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Just add <br /> between each section for spacing... ;-}
