Have you made any headway on this? Any help or direction is greatly appreciated, thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8394 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:49:28 +0000 Carl Hancock 8394@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms itself does not have a PDF creation feature. It's certainly possible to do so, however that would be a customization and outside the scope of the Gravity Forms feature set itself. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8393 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:45:55 +0000 Alex 8393@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So, there is no way to create PDF from the data submitted in the form itself? I know Gravity Forms has nothing to do with PDF creation, but I thought there is some way to generate PDF from submitted data (using some script or third party services) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8391 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:33:20 +0000 Carl Hancock 8391@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Include a PDF that contains submitted data? I'm a little confused. Do you mean you want a PDF to be created from the data submitted in the form itself? If that is what you mean, Gravity Forms has nothing to do with PDF creation.</p> <p>If you want to make a PDF available for the user to download after submitting a form, you would edit the Confirmation message for that form and add a link to whatever PDF you want them to download in the Confirmation text. You would have to add an actual HTML link to the confirmation text.</p> <p>Example:</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;http://mydomain.com/mypdf.pdf&quot;&gt;Download PDF&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>You would have to upload it somewhere such as your Media Library and then get the URL to it and create a link using HTML in the Confirmation text. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8390 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:21:42 +0000 Alex 8390@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How do include the link to PDF containing submitted data? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8206 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:49:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 8206@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The confirmation text is only displayed to the user after the form is submitted. You could include a link to the PDF in the confirmation text message so they only see the link if they submit the form.</p> <p>That doesn't secure the PDF itself from them giving the URL of the PDF to a friend, but Gravity Forms isn't in the business of content protection so that isn't something we could prevent. But it would provide a simple solution for offering a PDF download behind a form submission. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/open-a-file-upon-submission-of-your-form#post-8202 Wed, 04 Aug 2010 09:28:36 +0000 Bloomdes 8202@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I want the user to fill out a contact form and upon submission they can download a pdf. They cannot have access to the pdf unless they complete the form.</p> <p>Can this work with Gravity? </p>
